Job description

Ready to Take Your Career in Commercial Real Estate to the Next Level?

Are you a natural relationship builder who loves connecting with people, creating opportunities, and seeing deals come together? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset, a strong work ethic, and the drive to make things happen?

RealREPP is partnering with a highly respected commercial real estate organization in the East Bay to identify a motivated, outgoing, and business-minded Leasing & Business Development Leader to join its growing team!

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional leasing role. You'll have the chance to build relationships, generate new business, work directly with experienced industry leaders, and gain exposure to multiple facets of commercial real estate—from leasing and business development to construction, property operations, and tenant relations.

The best part? You don't need to come from a traditional brokerage background to be successful!

We're looking for someone with the right personality, business instincts, work ethic, and determination to grow.

If you're a natural relationship builder who thrives on building relationships, enjoys the thrill of pursuing new opportunities, and wants to make a measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing

• Drive New Business: Take a proactive approach to identifying prospective tenants, developing relationships, networking, and uncovering new leasing opportunities.
• Build Meaningful Relationships: Serve as a key point of contact for prospective tenants, existing relationships, brokers, and business partners while creating a positive and memorable experience.
• Turn Opportunities into Results: Manage opportunities from the initial conversation through the leasing process, helping move deals forward and ultimately contributing to signed leases.
• Leverage Existing Relationships: Work with an established pipeline of inbound inquiries and referrals while developing creative strategies to bring in additional business.
• Collaborate Across Departments: Partner closely with leasing, property management, construction, and other internal teams to help coordinate tenant requirements and deliver successful outcomes.
• Become a Trusted Advisor: Learn the ins and outs of the property portfolio, understand prospective tenants’ needs, and help identify creative solutions.
• Own the Details: Stay on top of opportunities, follow-up, timelines, and deliverables, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Represent the Organization: Build a strong presence in the local business community through networking, relationship development, and proactive outreach.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 3-5+ years of professional experience in commercial real estate, leasing, business development, sales, account management, property management, or another relationship-driven business environment.
• A genuine passion for business development, networking, and building relationships.
• A proactive, self-motivated personality with the confidence to pursue new opportunities and initiate conversations.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
• Excellent follow-through and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities from start to finish.
• A collaborative, team-first mentality and willingness to roll up your sleeves and contribute wherever needed.
• Natural curiosity, a willingness to learn, and an interest in understanding the broader commercial real estate business.
• A results-oriented approach, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong sense of accountability.
• A California Real Estate License or the ability and willingness to obtain one as required.

Most importantly, we're looking for the right person!

You may have a background in leasing, property management, sales, or business development. What matters most is your ability to connect with people, create opportunities, learn quickly, and follow through.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

A Career, Not Just Another Job

This role offers the opportunity to develop a well-rounded commercial real estate skill set, with exposure to leasing, business development, construction, operations, and tenant relationships.

Learn From Experienced Industry Professionals

Work closely with an established leasing team and experienced leadership who can provide valuable mentorship, guidance, and hands-on industry knowledge.

Make a Real Impact

This isn't a role where you'll simply wait for business to come through the door. You'll have the ability to develop new relationships, bring in opportunities, and directly contribute to the organization’s continued success.

An Established Platform with Room to Create Opportunities

Enjoy the advantage of an established commercial real estate presence, an existing network of relationships, and a steady flow of inbound activity while having the freedom to pursue new business.

Competitive Compensation And Earning Potential

Earn a competitive base salary of $125,000-$150,000, plus bonus opportunities tied to performance and business development results, subject to the company’s incentive program.

A Collaborative, Hands-On Environment

Join a close-knit team that values a positive attitude, hard work, initiative, and people who genuinely enjoy working together.

If you’re a motivated, personable, and business-minded professional looking for an opportunity to grow your career in commercial real estate, this could be the perfect next step.

We're looking for someone who brings energy, initiative, curiosity, and a genuine desire to succeed.
