Job description

Full-time | Inner North-West Brisbane | $120K-$150K in potential earnings

You've spent years building relationships, earning people's trust and solving problems. What if those same skills could take your career somewhere different?

Perhaps you're a Sales Agent who enjoys meeting people, negotiating and winning business, but you're starting to question whether you want to spend the next ten years chasing listings and settlements.

Or perhaps you're a Property Manager who genuinely enjoys working with landlords, building relationships and helping people, but has grown tired of the constant maintenance requests, complaints and competing priorities.

You're good at what you do. The question is whether you still want to keep doing it.

Changing careers can feel like starting again, particularly when you've spent years developing skills and experience in real estate.

But what if you didn't have to start again?

Our client is a respected, family-owned real estate agency servicing Brisbane's inner north-west, with ambitious plans to grow its property management division.

They're looking for a Business Development Manager, but previous BDM experience isn't essential.

They're looking for someone who's confident in conversation, enjoys meeting new people and understands that being told 'no' is simply part of winning business.

Someone with the personality, initiative and motivation to turn conversations into opportunities, and opportunities into long-term relationships.

If you're already working in real estate and believe you have the transferable skills, personality and drive to succeed in business development, this could be the opportunity for you.

But what if you didn't have to start again?

Our client is a respected, family-owned real estate agency servicing Brisbane's inner north-west, with ambitious plans to grow its property management division.

They're looking for a Business Development Manager, but previous BDM experience isn't essential.

They're looking for someone who's confident in conversation, enjoys meeting new people and understands that being told 'no' is simply part of winning business.

Someone with the personality, initiative and motivation to turn conversations into opportunities, and opportunities into long-term relationships.

If you're already working in real estate and believe you have the transferable skills, personality and drive to succeed in business development, this could be the opportunity for you.

The Role

You'll become an important part of the agency's growth, building relationships with property investors, attracting new managements and developing opportunities for the business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships with prospective landlords and property investors

• Generating new managements through prospecting, referrals and networking

• Identifying opportunities within existing client and investor databases

• Meeting prospective landlords and presenting the agency's property management services

• Developing referral relationships with local agents, brokers and industry professionals

• Following up opportunities, handling objections and converting enquiries into new business

• Contributing ideas and strategies to support the agency's long-term growth

This isn't a traditional property management position, and you won't be responsible for managing a portfolio.

Your focus will be on people, relationships and growing the business.

You May Be the Right Person If…

You enjoy a good conversation and can comfortably speak with people from all walks of life.

You're confident enough to pick up the phone, ask for business and hear 'no' without letting it discourage you.

You understand that not every conversation becomes an opportunity, but you enjoy the challenge of finding the ones that do.

You'll also bring:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• Confidence, initiative and a willingness to put yourself forward

• A natural ability to build rapport and earn people's trust

• Resilience, persistence and a positive attitude towards rejection

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to follow through

• A genuine interest in property and business development

• The motivation to achieve results and be rewarded for them

Previous BDM experience isn't essential.

Whether you're coming from residential sales, property management or another relationship-driven sales environment, we're interested in the skills and personality you can bring, not simply the title on your resume.

The Opportunity

You’ll join an established, family-owned agency where your contribution will have a direct influence on the growth of the business.

Our client isn't looking for someone to simply fill a position. They want someone who can become an important part of the team, contribute ideas and help build something meaningful over the coming years.

With an attractive base salary and performance-based bonuses, the position offers $120,000 - $150,000 in potential annual earnings, subject to achieving performance targets.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your career in a different direction without leaving your existing skills and experience behind.

There will be targets, setbacks and conversations that don't go anywhere. Business development isn't for everyone.

But if you're someone who genuinely enjoys people, thrives on creating opportunities and gets satisfaction from winning business, this could be exactly the change you've been looking for.

You don't need to have done this job before. You just need the right qualities to be good at it.

All applications will be held in the strictest confidence. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
