  • Support property marketing efforts including email campaigns, flyers, and listing platforms (CoStar, LoopNet)

Requirements

  • Active Illinois Real Estate Broker License
  • 1-3 years of commercial real estate brokerage or directly related experience
  • Demonstrated knowledge of downtown Chicago office and/or retail markets
  • Strong interpersonal, negotiation, and written communication skills
  • Ability to independently manage multiple deals and deadlines
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite; familiarity with CoStar and LoopNet

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

    • Existing book of business or established tenant/landlord relationships
    • Experience in landlord representation, leasing strategy, or tenant canvassing
    • Familiarity with lease documentation, LOI negotiation, and lease abstraction
    • Experience with CRM platforms and listing tools (Buildout, Apto, etc.)
    • Bachelor's degree in Business, Real Estate, Finance, or related field

Benefits

  • 1099 independent contractor (commission-only) structure with no cap on earnings
  • Direct mentorship and deal collaboration with experienced Chicago-market principals
  • Access to active landlord assignments and established institutional client base
  • Full marketing and listing infrastructure (CoStar, LoopNet, Buildout, custom property marketing tools)
  • Entrepreneurial, production-driven platform where performance is directly rewarded
  • Performance-based growth opportunities within the brokerage platform
  • Flexible, results-oriented structure
