I’m an experienced Oregon realtor who has recently leveled up to Principal Broker, and I’m seeking the perfect partner to assist my growing business as a licensed real estate assistant. How you represent and interact with clients and colleagues – both new and those already in my rolodex – reflects on me, so it’s very important for me to find the exact right fit. That means I need a disciplined, kind, smart, loyal, motivated person on my team.
I’m fortunate to have an excellent client base, with many talented, creative Portlanders trusting me to guide them in home ownership. I want someone to be my right hand person, who will take on my clients and treat them in all their beautiful diversity, as I do.
I have a strong social media presence, and many of my clients find me online – you can get a good sense of who I am from my Instagram. I’m a lifelong Oregonian, and have lived around the world and literally sailed the oceans. I pride myself on giving back to the community, supporting local businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs, and being active in issues of social justice. If you don’t believe in equity for all, then I don’t feel like we’d be a good fit. I also believe in science (and you should, too).
We’re a kick ass team who work beautifully together, but we’re also pretty independent in our day to day tasks. We stay connected and keep each other apprised. I need to be able to rely on you to cover for me if needed, host open houses, organize an active buyer schedule, and be willing, available, and flexible as situations arise – this is a full time position, but real estate is not a 9-5 job. Strong communication is important, as is trust, and ethics.
Pay range is $60-$100k, and this is very dependent on the market and the work we put in, as your pay will be a percentage of my commissions.
You’ll have access to Think Real Estate’s established healthcare benefit system, but will be responsible for covering your own costs.
Real estate is a life of new challenges and some hustle, but for the right person, it’s also incredibly flexible, fun, and rewarding. And while the work is super important, it’s just as important to find balance and establish healthy boundaries.
If you’re the selected applicant, you agree to embark on a 3 month trial period to see how well we work together personally and professionally.
This is an equal opportunity job listing, and anyone with the ability to reasonably perform the listed tasks is encouraged to apply.
Shoot Lauren an email at [email protected] letting her know why you think you’d be a good fit. Please also describe your most favorite and least favorite transactions, and why.
Applications close on Friday, November 26th at 5pm.
