• The goal is not to build the biggest community. It is to build the right community.

• Keep the community active through regular communication, sales motivation, product updates and engagement.
• Support realtors with product knowledge, client objections, pitching and closing opportunities.
• Join realtor/client calls where necessary to support sales.
• Identify inactive or high-potential members and proactively re-engage them.
• Organise and anchor at least one community event every month.
• Identify and secure at least two B2B collaborations monthly that can create access to quality realtors, buyers or business opportunities.
• Coordinate realtor trainings, meetings, property inspections and networking activities.
• Work closely with Sales, Media, Accounting, Tech and other departments to resolve partner concerns and improve the sales experience.
• Collate commission requests and follow up with relevant departments.
• Track community growth, active partners, trainings, events, sales and partner performance.
• Celebrate partner wins, milestones and achievements to strengthen retention and engagement.
• Prepare weekly and quarterly community reports.
• Continuously develop strategies to attract experienced realtors who can sell high-value properties.

• Ability to host events, trainings and networking sessions.
