Job description

BARON Commercial Real Estate is a boutique real estate firm based in Omaha, Nebraska, specializing in the brokerage, management, and redevelopment of urban commercial and residential properties. Our brokerage team advises buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords on sales and leasing transactions across the urban core, with a particular focus on historic, mixed-use, and infill commercial assets.

We are committed to disciplined execution, best-in-class client service, and contributing to the continued revitalization of Omaha’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods.

Position Overview

We are seeking an ambitious, intellectually curious Brokerage Assistant to work directly with BARON’s leadership on a growing pipeline of active listings and brokerage assignments. This is a growth-oriented, mentorship-based role designed for someone early in their career who is serious about building a long-term future in commercial real estate.

The Brokerage Assistant will begin by supporting day-to-day brokerage activities, including but not limited to marketing, research, tour coordination, and transaction administration, and will progressively take ownership of listings and clients as skills, judgment, and relationships develop. The right candidate will work shoulder-to-shoulder with experienced brokers, gaining direct exposure to how deals are sourced, pitched, won, and executed.

This is not an administrative role with a real estate label. It is a true apprenticeship into the brokerage business, structured to prepare the right person to become a producing broker at BARON.

Key Responsibilities

• Listing Support & Marketing
• Prepare listing materials, offering memoranda, flyers, and marketing packages for active sale and lease assignments.
• Coordinate professional photography, signage, drone imagery, and digital marketing assets.
• Maintain and update listings across CoStar, Crexi, LoopNet, BARON’s website, and other distribution channels.
• Assist in the design and execution of targeted outreach campaigns to brokers, tenants, and investors.
• Market Research & Analysis
• Research properties, ownership, tenant rosters, and transaction history using public records and industry databases.
• Compile comparable sales, lease comps, rent surveys, and submarket trend reports.
• Develop financial analyses, rent comparisons, and valuation summaries to support pitches and active deals.
• Build and maintain market intelligence on the urban core, including ownership changes, redevelopment activity, and tenant movement.
• Active Deal Execution
• Help manage active listings from launch through closing, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Coordinate and, over time, lead property tours with prospects, brokers, and clients.
• Communicate professionally with prospects, clients, owners, tenants, lenders, attorneys, and cooperating brokers.
• Support lease and sale negotiations by preparing analyses, drafting correspondence, and tracking open items.
• Review leases, purchase agreements, letters of intent, and other transaction documents under the supervision of senior brokers.
• Maintain organized deal files, transaction checklists, and document repositories.
• Keep CRM records current, including contacts, prospects, ownership data, and pipeline status.
• Track listing performance metrics, tour activity, and prospect engagement; report regularly to leadership.
• Support the preparation of pitch materials, broker opinions of value (BOVs), and new business proposals.
• Professional Development
• Work directly with BARON leadership to learn how to source, pitch, win, and execute brokerage assignments.
• Build a foundational understanding of leasing economics, investment underwriting, and transaction structuring.
• Progressively take ownership of listings, client relationships, and deal execution as readiness is demonstrated.
• Participate in industry events, networking opportunities, and continuing education.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, ideally with coursework in real estate, finance, business, law, urban planning, marketing, or a related field.
• Strong interest in commercial real estate, marketing, finance, business strategy, and law.
• Prior commercial real estate experience is not required. We are looking for ambition, work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and a strong willingness to learn.
• Nebraska Real Estate License required, or a clear commitment to obtain one in the near term. BARON will support the right candidate through the licensing process.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent BARON professionally with sophisticated clients and counterparties.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple workstreams across active listings.
• Comfortable with financial concepts and analytical work; strong technological proficiency.
• Self-starter with sound judgment, a service-oriented mindset, and a willingness to be held accountable to measurable performance standards.

Join BARON

• Direct mentorship from BARON’s leadership and a structured path toward becoming a producing broker.
• Competitive, incentive-based compensation that rewards performance and results, with the opportunity to participate in deal economics as responsibilities grow.
• Hands-on involvement in some of Omaha’s most interesting urban, historic, and mixed-use commercial assignments.
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where initiative and ownership are recognized and rewarded.
• Meaningful exposure to every stage of the brokerage business on real deals, from day one.

BARON is an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are valued and empowered to succeed.
