Job Description

We are an established restoration company building a high-growth real estate investment and wholesale division and are seeking a Director of Real Estate Acquisitions to own and scale the entire acquisitions operation.

This job is for a proven sales leader who thrives in the field and knows how to hold a team accountable.

What You’ll Own

Own the acquisitions strategy and conversion engine from lead intake through contract and disposition

Build, hire, train, and manage the acquisitions team (including authority to hire, fire, and restructure roles as needed)

Control pricing discipline and offer strategy to ensure profitable, repeatable deals

Set, track, and enforce clear KPIs (offers per day, cost per deal, conversion rates, velocity, revenue)

Lead negotiations, high-value seller conversations, and contract execution when needed

Design and refine sales scripts, follow-up systems, and acquisition processes

Maintain full visibility and accountability over pipelines, forecasts, and CRM data

Partner directly with ownership to align growth targets, capital deployment, and market strategy

Qualifications

3+ years of success in real estate acquisitions, sales, or wholesale operations

Proven experience leading and holding sales teams accountable

Strong negotiator and closer with experience structuring offers

Comfortable owning metrics, dashboards, pipelines, and performance reviews

Experience in real estate investment or wholesaling strongly preferred

Builder mindset — you enjoy designing systems, not just inheriting them

Compensation & Growth

Competitive base salary + uncapped performance-based incentives

Opportunity to grow with a scaling real estate division
