A real estate director oversees the acquisition of new real estate for a large company or corporate organization. Your duties are to manage the organization’s real estate development portfolio, find new potential buildings or properties to develop, and engage in contract negotiation to acquire the property. You also negotiate the sale or lease of your organization’s developments and contract the appropriate services to oversee daily maintenance. A real estate developer is a senior management position, and you work in close collaboration with other executives to ensure the real estate development complements other aspects of the organization’s strategies.
