Associate Commercial Real Estate Broker

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to join one of Greater Boston’s leading independent commercial real estate firms and learn the business from the ground up.

Start Date: Flexible
Schedule: Full-time
Compensation: Modest base salary + competitive commission structure tied to performance

What You’ll Do

  • Prospect & Pipeline: Conduct targeted outbound outreach (calls, email, LinkedIn) to owners, occupiers, and investors; qualify opportunities and book meetings.

  • Research & Data: Maintain and enrich the contact database; track companies, leases, and market activity across office, industrial, flex, and lab.

  • Marketing Support: Coordinate with marketing on digital and print campaigns; help build prospect lists and track results.

  • Deal Support: Assist on tours, proposals, LOIs, and basic financials (rent comps, simple underwriting, summaries).

  • Networking: Attend industry events to expand relationships and represent the firm professionally.

  • Reporting: Keep activity and pipeline updated; share weekly progress with the team.

What You Bring

  • Mindset: Proactive, entrepreneurial, coachable, and resilient; comfortable with outbound calling.

  • Communication: Clear writer and confident caller; strong follow-through and organization.

  • Tools: Familiarity with Excel/Google Sheets, PowerPoint, and CRM workflows (we’ll train).

  • Background: 0–3+ years in sales, brokerage, or business development; CRE interest a plus.

  • License: Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson license (or ability to obtain within 90 days).

  • Mobility: Ability to travel within Greater Boston for meetings, tours, and events.

Why R.W. Holmes

  • Independent & Entrepreneurial: Agility without corporate constraints; decisions that put clients—and your growth—first.
