Job Description

We are an established restoration company building a high-growth real estate investment and wholesale division and are seeking a Real Estate Acquisitions Manager to own and scale the entire acquisitions operation.

    This is not a support or middle-management role. You will have clear authority over people, process, pricing, and performance, partnering directly with ownership to build a predictable deal engine.

    This job is for a proven sales leader who thrives in the field and knows how to hold a team accountable.

    What You’ll Own

    • Own the acquisitions strategy and conversion engine from lead intake through contract and disposition
    • Build, hire, train, and manage the acquisitions team (including authority to hire, fire, and restructure roles as needed)
    • Control pricing discipline and offer strategy to ensure profitable, repeatable deals
    • Set, track, and enforce clear KPIs (offers per day, cost per deal, conversion rates, velocity, revenue)
    • Lead negotiations, high-value seller conversations, and contract execution when needed
    • Design and refine sales scripts, follow-up systems, and acquisition processes
    • Maintain full visibility and accountability over pipelines, forecasts, and CRM data
    • Partner directly with ownership to align growth targets, capital deployment, and market strategy

    Qualifications

    • 3+ years of success in real estate acquisitions, sales, or wholesale operations
    • Proven experience leading and holding sales teams accountable
    • Strong negotiator and closer with experience structuring offers
    • Comfortable owning metrics, dashboards, pipelines, and performance reviews
    • Experience in real estate investment or wholesaling strongly preferred
    • Builder mindset — you enjoy designing systems, not just inheriting them

    Compensation & Growth

    • Competitive base salary + uncapped performance-based incentives
    • Opportunity to grow with a scaling real estate division
