About Reafco

Reafco Real Estate is not a typical brokerage—we’re an investment-focused team that buys and sells 1–20 unit properties across Ohio. What makes us unique? Over 75% of our agents and interns purchase their first investment property within 18 months of joining.

We believe that if you want to work in real estate, you should learn how to own real estate—not just sell it. That’s why we created an internship program that teaches you real‑world skills investors use every day.

What You’ll Learn & Do

• Deal Sourcing & Lead Generation: Cold call and text property owners to uncover off‑market opportunities using Reafco’s proven systems and scripts.
• Investment Analysis: Evaluate properties for rentals, flips, and BRRRR strategies; calculate ROI and renovation costs.
• Property Management: Shadow leasing, tenant placement, and day-to-day management of active rental properties.
• Renovation Projects: Join investor mentors on live property walkthroughs and learn how renovations are budgeted and managed.
• Transactions: Assist with contracts, negotiations, and closings while gaining exposure to the full deal cycle.

Why This Internship Is Different

• Hands‑On Experience: Work with real properties and live deals, not just busywork.
• Mentorship: Get paired with an investor‑agent who will guide your learning.
• Networking: Free access to Reafco’s quarterly investor events with 100+ local investors.
• Path to Ownership: Many interns go on to purchase their first rental or flip within a year.

Who We’re Looking For

• Ambitious, self‑motivated individuals curious about real estate investing.
• Comfortable talking on the phone, networking, or learning sales skills.
• Organized and eager to learn how to analyze and execute deals.
• No prior real estate experience required—hustle matters most.

Internship Details

• Flexible schedule: part-time or full-time (Spring, Summer, and Fall cohorts available).
• Based in Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, or Cincinnati.
• Open to students, career changers, or anyone eager to learn real estate investing.
