Real Estate Acquisitions Manager

About the Company:

Direct Property Aid is the highly-rated private real estate investment firm in Chicago-land, with an outstanding 5-star rating on Google. We specialize in acquiring properties and transforming them into thriving rental units or beautifully rehabbed properties. Our mission goes beyond business success—we are committed to providing rewarding opportunities for our employees and making a positive impact on the communities we serve. Integrity, resilience, and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do, and our customers love working with us!

We’re growing and looking for someone who wants more than just a job—someone who wants to build real experience in real estate, earn based on performance, and learn how deals actually get done.

In this role, you’ll be working directly with property owners who are already considering selling. You’ll manage conversations from the first call through the final agreement—qualifying opportunities, meeting sellers in person, and negotiating deals in a way that works for both sides.

Why Join Us:

At Direct Property Aid, you’ll join a high-performing team that’s driven to be the best in the industry. Our 5-star Google rating reflects our commitment to exceptional customer service, and you’ll be part of a company with a top reputation. In this role, you will work with leads set for you daily, identifying property owners who are looking to sell and negotiating the best possible terms. This is a role for someone who’s ready to think outside the box, build relationships, and solve problems creatively.

We’ve made it incredibly easy for our team to succeed. Our streamlined approach to real estate investing, combined with ongoing investments in new marketing channels, technology, and team development, ensures you have the support and tools you need to thrive.

Role Overview:

The Real Estate Acquisition Associate will focus on following up with leads assigned for you daily. Your primary responsibility will be identifying property owners who are interested in selling and negotiating favorable terms for both parties so we can purchase the property as investments. This position requires a blend of out-of-the-box thinking, sharp communication skills, and strong relationship-building abilities. Your success in this role will have a direct impact on the company’s growth and the well-being of the communities we serve.

You’ll be speaking with inbound leads, managing follow-up over the phone, and building relationships with sellers over time—not just one call. This role requires someone who can stay organized, follow up consistently, and move conversations forward.

A typical week includes running in-person appointments, evaluating properties, and working toward getting agreements signed.

You are not responsible for generating your own leads—your job is to convert the opportunities in front of you.

Growth & Opportunity

This role is hands-on experience in real estate investing. You’ll learn how to evaluate deals, negotiate directly with sellers, and understand how properties are acquired for flips and long-term rentals. If your goal is to eventually do your own deals or build a rental portfolio, this role gives you direct exposure to that process.

Who This Is For

This opportunity is best suited for someone who is driven by performance and wants to be rewarded for the work they put in.

The right person is comfortable managing a pipeline of leads over the phone, staying organized with follow-up, and building rapport with sellers over multiple conversations. They are self-disciplined with their time, willing to be in the field, and motivated by earning potential rather than a fixed salary.

They also value doing business the right way—creating win-win outcomes with homeowners and building long-term trust—and are interested in real estate investing beyond just a job.

Compensation

This is a 100% commission-based role built for individuals who want control over their income. A optional draw will be available during your ramp-up period while you build your pipeline.

At minimum performance expectations, this role is designed to produce $150,000+ annually, with no cap on earnings.

Follow up on leads and appointments over the phone and in-person.
Identify property owners who are looking to sell and negotiate favorable terms.

Conduct on-site evaluations and negotiations.
Manage your pipeline using CRM, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records.
Diligently follow up with clients, documenting all interactions in the CRM system.
Educate potential clients on how we can assist them and explain our process.
Collaborate with the team to continually improve client service and satisfaction.
Ensure a smooth transition for clients from initial contact to closing.

Performance Expectations:

Achieve or exceed KPIs and sales targets, consistently closing deals.
Accurately document client information in CRM at the end of each day.
Provide consistent follow-up with all qualified prospects.
Keep sales stats and pipeline updated daily to track progress.

Exceptional communication skills, both over the phone and in person.
