Spencer Hsu Real Estate Team @ eXp Realty

Remote (SF Bay Area market focus)

About Us

We're a top 0.5% nationally ranked real estate team producing $80M+ annually in Silicon Valley's luxury market. Our founder, Spencer Hsu, is a recognized content creator (7K YouTube subscribers, 40K newsletter subscribers) and top producer serving high-net-worth tech clients in Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, and surrounding areas.

We're at a major inflection point :

  • 2025 : 70 transactions, $1.5M in revenue
  • 2026 goal : 140 transactions, $3M+ in revenue
  • Current team : 4 agents who need leadership and accountability
  • What we need : An entrepreneurial operator to build the machine while our founder focuses on $2M+ listings and brand growth

This is a fully remote role , but you must understand the Bay Area real estate market and be comfortable operating in Pacific Time Zone hours.

The Role : What You'll Actually Do

You're not inheriting a well-oiled machine. You're building it from scratch . This role is 40% recruiting, 40% accountability / coaching, 20% systems / operations.

Recruiting (40% of your time) :

  • Source and recruit 14+ producing agents in 2026 (agents who can close 4-10 deals / year)
  • Maintain a pipeline of 15+ active recruiting conversations at all times
  • Close candidates on joining the team (negotiate splits - our blended average is 70% to agent / 30% to team)
  • Build and run a recruiting system that's repeatable and scalable
  • Success metric : 2 agents recruited in first 90 days, 14+ in first year
  • Agent Accountability & Performance (40% of your time) :

  • Conduct weekly 1-on-1s with every agent on the team (currently 4, growing to 18+)
  • Track lead follow-up, conversion rates, and pipeline health in CRM
  • Have direct conversations when agents aren't hitting goals (you're the accountability partner)
  • Create performance improvement plans and execute on them (including exiting poor performers)
  • Build a culture of high performance and mutual accountability
  • Success metric : Current 4 agents go from 15 total deals in 2025 to 50+ deals in 2026
  • Operations & Systems (20% of your time) :

  • Manage support staff : ISA, Transaction Coordinator, Virtual Assistant, Marketing Manager
  • Build and document processes : onboarding, lead routing, CRM workflows, team training
  • Create dashboards to track team performance (leads, appointments, deals, revenue)
  • Run monthly team meetings and training sessions
  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, then fix them
  • Success metric : All core processes documented by end of Q1 2026
  • What Success Looks Like

    90 days :

  • 2 producing agents recruited and onboarded
  • Weekly accountability system implemented (all agents participating)
  • 15+ agents in active recruiting pipeline
  • Core operations manual documented
  • 1 year :

  • 14+ producing agents recruited (average 4-10 deals / year each)
  • Team revenue grows from $71K (2025) to $350K+ (2026)
  • Agent accountability system running smoothly with measurable production increases
  • You're operating autonomously - Spencer focuses on luxury deals, you run the team
  • Compensation & Benefits

    Trial Period (First 90 days / Q1 2026) :

  • Independent contractor : $18,750 total project fee
  • Paid twice monthly at $3,125 per payment (6 payments total)
  • Deliverables-based (recruiting goals, system implementation)
  • We assess fit, you assess if you want to be here
  • Full-Time (After 90 days) :

  • Base salary : $75,000 - $90,000 (based on experience)
  • Bonus : 5% of team revenue growth above $71,235 baseline
  • W2 employee, fully remote
  • Flexible schedule (but must be available during PT business hours)
  • Compensation examples :

    Conservative scenario (Year 1) :

  • Team grows to $300K revenue (+$228K growth)
  • Your bonus : $11,400
  • Total comp : $86,400 - $101,400 (depending on base)
  • Target scenario (Year 1) :

  • Team grows to $450K revenue (+$378K growth)
  • Your bonus : $18,900
  • Total comp : $93,900 - $108,900 (depending on base)
  • Aggressive scenario (Year 1) :

  • Team grows to $600K revenue (+$528K growth)
  • Your bonus : $26,400
  • Total comp : $101,400 - $116,400 (depending on base)
  • What's NOT included :

  • No health insurance provided (you're responsible for your own)
  • No PTO policy (flexible schedule, take time when you need it, but the work has to get done)
  • No office / equipment stipend (remote work is on you)
  • Long-term upside :

  • Year 2+ : Transition to profit-share model (7.5% of team net profit) as team scales
  • Potential equity / ownership stake for the right person as we continue to grow
  • You're a Great Fit If :

    Experience & Skills :

  • 4+ years managing or recruiting quota-carrying salespeople (real estate, SaaS, solar, mortgage, insurance, etc.)
  • You've personally recruited and closed 10+ hires in previous roles
  • You've managed underperformers and aren't afraid of difficult conversations
  • You understand high-ticket sales ($10K+ transactions) and consultative selling
  • You're a systems thinker who documents processes and builds playbooks
  • Working Style :

  • Entrepreneurial but execution-focused - you don't need to be the visionary, but you need to make the vision happen
  • Self-directed - Spencer is traveling internationally Jan-Feb 2026; you need to operate autonomously
  • Comfortable with ambiguity - there's no employee handbook or perfect process to follow; you build it
  • Results-driven - you're motivated by seeing the scoreboard move, not just checking boxes
  • High urgency - you operate with speed and bias toward action
  • Character & Values :

  • You can hold people accountable while being respectful and professional
  • You're coachable and open to feedback (Spencer has high standards)
  • You genuinely want to help agents succeed (this isn't just a paycheck)
  • You treat remote work like a privilege, not an excuse to coast
  • You're NOT a Fit If :

  • You need detailed instructions or constant guidance
  • You think "full-time" means 40 hours max
  • You avoid confrontation or accountability conversations
  • You've never recruited someone or closed a job offer
  • You need structure, office environment, or corporate benefits
  • You need health insurance provided by your employer
  • You want work-life balance over building something meaningful (at least in Year 1)
  • The Hiring Process

    We're thorough because this role is critical. Here's what to expect :

    1. Application (You) :

  • Submit resume
  • Record a 90-second video answering : "Describe a time you had to hold someone accountable who wasn't hitting their numbers. What did you do, and what was the result?"
  • 2. Phone Screen (20 min) :

  • Quick chat to assess basic fit, experience, and expectations
  • 3. Video Interview (45-60 min) :

  • Deep dive on recruiting experience, accountability examples, and strategic thinking
  • We'll send you a homework assignment : "Review our YouTube channel and website. If you were our DOO, what would you do in your first 30 days?"
  • 4. Final Interview (45 min) :

  • Meet Spencer, discuss compensation, align on expectations
  • Reference checks (we'll call 2 of your previous managers)
  • 5. Decision :

  • If we're aligned, we start with the 90-day contract in January 2026
  • Timeline : We're moving fast and reviewing applications on a rolling basis. If you're a strong candidate, we'll reach out within 1-2 business days.

    About the Team You'll Manage

    Current roster :

  • 4 producing agents : Junior agent (4 deals / year) and mid-level agents (9-10 deals / year). They're capable but lack accountability and structure.
  • Inside Sales Agent : Part-time, handles lead qualification and nurturing
  • Transaction Coordinator : Part-time, processes deals and paperwork
  • Virtual Assistant : Handles admin, marketing support, database management
  • Marketing Manager : Oversees content creation, social media, campaigns
  • All team members are remote. You'll coordinate via email, Zoom, and CRM.

    Why Join Us?

    The upside is real :

  • Spencer's personal brand drives massive inbound lead flow (YouTube, newsletter, social media)
  • Bay Area luxury market = high commissions per deal ($15-30K+ per transaction)
  • eXp Realty infrastructure provides support without corporate bureaucracy
  • You're joining at the perfect inflection point - big enough to have resources, small enough for you to make massive impact
  • What you'll learn :

  • How to scale a real estate team from 4 to 18+ agents
  • Recruiting and talent acquisition in a competitive market
  • Building operational systems from scratch
  • Working with a top-producing agent / entrepreneur
  • Who you'll work with :

  • Spencer is direct, driven, and has high standards - but he's fair and wants you to win
  • He's not a micromanager; he wants you to own this and run with it
  • If you crush it, there's long-term upside (profit share, equity, building this into something bigger)
  • Questions?

    "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.
