"Do I need a real estate license?"
No. We care about recruiting and leadership experience, not real estate credentials.
"What if I don't know the Bay Area market?"
That's fine if you're a fast learner. We'll teach you the market; you bring the recruiting and operations expertise.
"Is this really remote, or will you expect me to move to the Bay Area?"
Truly remote. Occasional in-person for big events (maybe 2-3x / year), but day-to-day is 100% remote.
"What time zone do I need to work in?"
Pacific Time business hours (9am-6pm PT) for core collaboration. Some flexibility, but agents and team are on PT.
"Why no health insurance?"
We're a small, lean team. The salary range reflects this. If health insurance is a dealbreaker, this isn't the right fit.
"What's the work-from-home setup expectation?"
Reliable internet, professional Zoom background, and availability during business hours. You provide your own equipment.
