Review performance and pipeline regularly, identify gaps early, and take action to keep the team on track. - Build a culture of accountability. Set a high bar for execution and performance, create clarity around expectations, and consistently coach toward results while maintaining a positive, high-performing team culture. - Partner cross-functionally. Work closely with Sales leadership, Recruiting, Marketing, Operations, Title, and Mortgage to ensure the field team has the resources, support, and alignment needed to succeed as the organization scales. What you'll bring - Proven real estate business development leadership experience. 3–5+ years managing a field business development or sales team in the real estate industry, with experience leading reps who build relationships and generate business in the field. - A track record of building high-performing teams.

Value-Driven Employee Experience THE GOLDEN RULE. It’s simple: Treat others the way we want to be treated. Whether we’re dealing with colleagues or customers, we don’t prioritize money or growth over people, and we practice empathy at every opportunity. CALM FOCUS. We work in tech and build solutions for real estate. Both are fast-paced and stressful industries. But by focusing on the larger objective rather than rushing from one task to the next, we can create solutions our customers love. ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM. Big problems require big solutions. We look at our customers’ experiences holistically and recognize that solving them requires collaboration across teams and our three affiliate companies — Homeward, Homeward Mortgage and Homeward Title.
