We compete with national tech-enabled brokerages, institutional-focused platforms, and local operators. Our goal is simple: be the first call for every serious SFR investor transacting at scale. As a Senior Brokerage Sales Associate, you aren’t just a salesperson - you are a trusted advisor to institutional and scaled SFR operators. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, data, and execution, leveraging Mainstay’s technology to deliver differentiated outcomes for our clients. ### **In this role you will** - Pitch and onboard new institutional clients onto Mainstay’s transaction platform while aggressively expanding our “share of wallet” within existing accounts - Use portfolio and market insights to proactively identify acquisition and disposition opportunities for your clients - Manage disposition strategy for institutional SFR and REO/bank-owned assets, coordinating with servicers and asset managers to optimize pricing, timeline, and bulk sale execution - Serve as the primary escalation point for complex, in-flight deal issues, maintaining composure and sound judgment under pressure - Act as the voice of the client, influencing our Product and Data Science teams to improve our platform based on frontline feedback - Translate complex data sets into actionable insights using Excel and Slides to drive client decision-making ## **What we’re looking for** - 5+ years of experience in SFR brokerage, institutional residential real estate, or a closely related transaction sales role (ex. Financial sales & trading, commercial RE brokerage, appraisal/valuation, title, commodities/freight, etc.) - Proven track record of managing and growing relationships with sophisticated, scaled operators - Hands on experience with REO/bank-owned property disposition, including servicer and asset management workflows, BPOs, and bulk REO sales processes - Advanced excel modeling skills and the “data fluency” to draw strategic conclusions from raw information - Ability to collaborate with and influence internal Operations, Product, and Data Science teams - Exceptional presentation skills and the charisma to maintain frequent, high-value touchpoints with senior clients - Ability to travel up to 33% of the time ## **Bonus points** - Experience working at or with tech-enabled brokerages or platforms - Existing relationships with bank/servicer asset management teams, or familiarity with servicer platforms (e.g. [](http://Res.Net), Equator, Pyramid, REOTrans) - Data fluency to work with Claude, Hex, etc on data analysis (prior SQL experience helpful) ## This role is a great fit if: - You focus on building deep, long-term institutional relationships and have the charisma to become the first call a client makes when they have a strategic problem - You are highly “data fluent” and enjoy using AI, Excel and Slides to translate complex market insights into actionable advice that influences client decision-making - You remain calm and use sound judgment when deal flows get messy, effectively navigating complex escalations without losing the client’s trust - You are energized by high-volume transactional environments and are constantly looking for ways to expand “share of wallet” within your existing accounts ## Not a great fit if: - If you prefer waiting for inbound leads rather than proactively mining data to identify new acquisition or disposition opportunities for your clients - If you find data analysis, spreadsheet modeling, or learning new software platforms tedious, you will struggle to deliver the value-add our institutional clients expect - If you need a highly structured environment and struggle when priorities shift or when a “standard” deal suddenly becomes an ambiguous edge case - If you prefer to work in a silo and find it frustrating to collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Operations, and Data Science teams to improve the platform ## **Mainstay Built on Trust** At Mainstay, trust is at the core of everything we do.
