Job description

Base Salary + Performance Bonuses

Haven Group Property Management is hiring a full-time Business Development Specialist to own and execute our growth and outreach efforts across Cleveland, Ohio.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on consistent execution, real-world marketing, and being actively involved in the local real estate community. Your job is to make sure Haven Group Property Management is visible, present, and top-of-mind with real estate agents, investors, and referral partners — every single week.

This is not a “sit behind a desk and post on social” role. This is a hands-on, field-based marketing position focused on outreach, relationships, content, and events.

About Haven Group Property Management

Founded in 2010 we have a long history of managing real estate in Northeast Ohio. We have consistently grown year over year to managing a portfolio of thousands of properties in the Cleveland and Akron areas. Being Real Estate Professionals local to the Cleveland and Akron market allows us to provide the high quality of service and personal touch that are critical to this industry. We continue to build relationships by providing a consistent experience to each and every client through our centralized office.

About the Role

This role exists to ensure that all growth and marketing activities are executed consistently — not just planned.

You will work closely with our Sales Consultant and leadership team to drive:

• Referral relationships
• Content creation
• Webinars and educational marketing
• Brand visibility across the local real estate community

Your success is measured by activity, consistency, and contribution to overall company growth.

Key Responsibilities

You will own and execute:

• Make consistent outbound calls to real estate agents and referral partners
• Visit at least 3-5 real estate brokerages per week
• Call past clients and owners for referrals
• Maintain and grow referral partner relationships

Events & Community Presence

• Attend at least 1 real estate event per week
• Represent Haven Group Property Management at meetups, networking groups, and industry events
• Coordinate sponsorships and speaking opportunities when applicable

Webinars & Education

• Schedule, promote, and manage educational webinars for investors and agents
• Assist in creating presentations and follow-up materials

Content & Brand

• Create at least 1 video per week (short-form or educational)
• Create and schedule social media content
• Launch and manage a local Facebook Group
• Update marketing materials, one-pagers, and presentations
• Assist with basic paid ads (Facebook, boosting content, etc.)

Market Reporting

• Create and distribute monthly rental market updates to brokerages and referral partners

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has a marketing, communications, or real estate background
• Is comfortable being on the phone and in the field
• Enjoys talking to people and building relationships
• Is highly organized and self-directed
• Is consistent and reliable (this role lives or dies by execution)
• Is comfortable creating basic video and social content
• Likes having clear expectations and ownership

You do not need to be a designer or ad specialist. You do need to be proactive, personable, and disciplined.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Business Development Specialists consistently:

• Show up at brokerages every week
• Maintain active relationships with agents and partners
• Keep Haven Group Property Management visible in the local real estate community
• Produce ongoing educational content
• Ensure marketing never “falls off the list” again

This role creates the pipeline environment that allows the company to win.

Compensation

Monthly Bonuses based on company performance (number of units added that month)

On Target Earnings:

$80,000 to $100,000

Additional Benefits

• Health Insurance
• Paid Time Off
• Long-term growth opportunity in a scaling company

Work Location

This is a full-time, hybrid role. You will be expected to come into the office a few times each week. The core of this position is being out in the Cleveland community most days — at brokerages, networking events, meetups, and in-person meetings.

Candidates must currently reside in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

If you’re a relationship-driven professional who thrives on outreach, networking, and real-world connection — and you want a role with true ownership and impact — we’d love to meet you. Apply today!
