Job description

At Side, we believe everyone should own their path. Side is a real estate startup that pioneered the concept of brokerage-as-a-service to help top real estate professionals create and run their own companies without having to operate a brokerage. Our proprietary platform makes the real estate transaction process far more efficient for both agents and home buyers/sellers. Before Side, exceptional real estate agents had two choices: You could join an antiquated traditional brokerage, relinquish control of your business, and pay hefty fees for marginal value. Or you could start your own independent brokerage, massively increase your liability, and take on the burden of running your own back office. We created a third option: Own your own business and run it on the Side platform. Agents get to focus on what they do best — selling real estate — while Side operates in the background to facilitate their transactions, and help them grow. Side is led by experienced industry professionals and world-class engineers who develop technology designed to improve agent productivity and enhance the client experience. The company is backed by over $300 million in funding from top-tier venture capital firms, including Coatue, Tiger, D1, Sapphire, Trinity, and Matrix. Headquartered in San Francisco, Side currently operates in 16 states, with plans to expand nationwide in the coming years. We were named Company of the Year by Inman News (the leading industry publication) and a Most Innovative Company of 2022 by Fast Company. At Side, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate and innovate your way to success.

This role is at the forefront of our growth efforts, responsible for generating and nurturing opportunities with top-producing real estate agents and teams nationwide.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to break into sales at a fast-growing real estate and technology company, with exposure to some of the most successful agents in the industry. What You’ll Do: Generate & Qualify Leads : Book intro meetings for our sales team by engaging with high-potential agents through outbound outreach (calls, emails, social media, and networking).
