Job description

Location: Territory-based - currently hiring for Tampa, FL and Orlando, FL. Remote within your assigned territory; requires local market knowledge and the ability to travel within-territory for property visits.

About the Role

The MLS Acquisition Manager sources and closes residential property acquisitions by working the open MLS directly with listing agents - no cold homeowner outreach, no generated leads to chase. This is a fast-paced, hunter-style sales role built for someone who thrives on persistence: submitting offers, following up relentlessly with agents, and closing deals in a competitive market. Real estate or acquisitions professionals who've worked in institutional single-family investing will recognize the pace and structure immediately.

What You'll Do

• Identify and evaluate MLS listings that fit the company's acquisition criteria


• Submit and negotiate offers directly with listing agents


• Manage a high-volume pipeline of active offers and follow-ups


• Visit properties within territory as needed to assess condition and rehab scope before purchase


• Use the company's internal automated MLS offer tool to manage and track deal flow

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in single-family institutional real estate acquisitions (acquisition manager, acquisition analyst, or real estate investment agent background)


• Active real estate license, or ability to obtain/reinstate one quickly (weeks, not months)


• Strong negotiation instincts and comfort with high-volume, fast-paced outreach


• Local market knowledge within the assigned territory and ability to travel for property visits


• Institutional/agency-side real estate experience (companies like Tricon, Invitation Homes, AMH, Progress Residential, Home Partners of America, Opendoor, Offerpad, Redfin, and similar) strongly preferred


• Flexible schedule for evenings/weekends when needed

Compensation & Structure

• Base salary of $50,000, with meaningful upside - top performers can see base grow over time


• Uncapped commission: $1,500 per closed property


• Realistic total compensation range of $100,000-$200,000+ depending on volume


• W-2 employment with full benefits - not a 1099/contractor arrangement
