Full Job Description
About the Role

Kingdom Homes is looking for an experienced Real Estate Acquisitions Agent - MLS & Agent Outreach to join our team at our North Hollywood headquarters and lead a new acquisition initiative focused specifically on sourcing investment opportunities through the MLS and relationships with listing agents.

Kingdom Homes already has multiple established marketing and acquisition strategies that are consistently generating opportunities across our markets. We're now looking to expand our acquisition operation by building a dedicated channel focused on identifying overlooked on-market properties and developing relationships with the agents representing them.

This person will lead the charge on this initiative.

Rather than stepping into a fully built-out process, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of this channel, work directly with our founders and leadership team, and help develop the systems, outreach strategies, KPIs, and processes that allow us to scale it nationwide.

Because of that, we're specifically looking for someone who has successfully used this strategy before. You should already understand how to identify opportunities on the MLS, approach listing agents, uncover seller motivation, structure investor offers, negotiate effectively, and convert those conversations into transactions.

This is not a traditional residential real estate agent position. You won't spend your day hosting open houses, finding retail buyers, or building a personal book of listings.

Instead, you'll identify stale, distressed, price-reduced, and investor-friendly properties on the MLS; connect directly with listing agents; determine seller motivation; negotiate discounted investor offers; and secure properties that Kingdom Homes can move through our nationwide investor network.

For the right person, this is a real opportunity to earn significant income - your earning potential here is tied directly to the deals you close.
What You'll Do

This role requires a high volume of daily outbound activity - consistently hitting your KPI targets will typically mean spending several hours a day on the phone with listing agents. As a licensed 1099 independent contractor under our brokerage, you'll have full ownership over how you structure your day; our expectations are built around the KPIs and results tied to this role, not a fixed schedule.
  • Lead and develop Kingdom Homes' MLS and listing-agent acquisition channel
  • Search the MLS daily for stale, distressed, price-reduced, and investor-friendly properties
  • Identify properties that have been sitting on the market for extended periods
  • Contact listing agents directly to understand seller motivation and determine whether they would consider an investor-style offer
  • Build strong relationships with listing agents and become a go-to resource when they have difficult-to-sell or investor-friendly properties
  • Analyze properties and determine appropriate acquisition prices based on comparable sales, condition, repairs, resale potential, and investor demand
  • Structure, submit, and negotiate offers
  • Negotiate purchase price, terms, access, contingencies, and closing timelines
  • Work closely with our acquisitions and dispositions teams to evaluate opportunities and move contracted properties through our investor network
  • Maintain consistent follow-up with listing agents and active opportunities
  • Manage leads, conversations, offers, and contracts through our CRM
  • Develop a network of agents who proactively bring investment opportunities to Kingdom Homes
  • Help build and refine the scripts, processes, follow-up systems, and KPIs used for this acquisition channel
  • Track performance and identify opportunities to improve conversion at each stage of the pipeline
  • Help scale the strategy into additional Kingdom Homes markets
  • Consistently hit outreach, offer, contract, and revenue targets
What We're Looking For

This is an experienced hire. We're looking for someone who can bring proven knowledge of this acquisition strategy to Kingdom Homes and help us scale it.
Who Thrives Here

This role is built for someone who enjoys the hunt.

You should genuinely enjoy talking to people, negotiating, following up, and figuring out how to make a deal work. You're comfortable picking up the phone, aren't discouraged by rejection, and understand that consistent follow-up can turn one conversation into a significant opportunity.

More importantly, we're looking for someone who sees an opportunity to build, not simply execute.

You'll be given significant ownership over this initiative. We want someone who will come in with ideas, test what works, identify problems, improve the process, and help turn this strategy into a meaningful acquisition channel for the company.

The strongest performers at Kingdom Homes are entrepreneurial, persuasive, competitive, analytical, highly accountable, and obsessed with getting deals across the finish line.

Don't Meet Every Requirement?

This role is designed for an experienced, licensed real estate professional who can take ownership of our MLS and listing-agent outreach strategy from day one. However, if you don't have your California Real Estate License yet, or haven't worked with this exact strategy before, we'd still like to hear from you.

We're always looking for hungry, competitive people who want to build a career in real estate acquisitions. If you're a strong fit for Kingdom Homes and willing to get licensed, we're open to helping you navigate and accelerate the licensing process. In the meantime, there may be opportunities to contribute elsewhere within the company or join our existing Acquisitions team while working toward your license.

Don't check every box? Apply anyway. You'll be able to note during the application that you don't yet have your license or haven't worked this exact strategy before - we still want to hear from you and encourage you to apply.

Requirements
  • Active California Real Estate License or willingness to obtain one
  • Proven experience sourcing and closing investment properties through the MLS and direct outreach to listing agents
  • Track record of successfully closing transactions using this or a substantially similar acquisition strategy
  • Previous experience targeting stale, distressed, price-reduced, or otherwise investor-friendly MLS listings
  • Strong understanding of residential real estate transactions, contracts, and negotiations
  • Experience analyzing properties and determining investor acquisition prices
  • Experience in real estate wholesaling, fix-and-flip acquisitions, investment sales, or a similar investor-focused environment
  • Strong phone presence and confidence communicating and negotiating with experienced real estate professionals
  • Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls and consistently following up
  • Ability to independently manage a pipeline from initial property identification through executed contract
  • Highly organized, competitive, persistent, and motivated by measurable results
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to take ownership of a new initiative and help develop the processes required to scale it

Benefits

This is a performance-driven role with commission earned on every deal you close. The more opportunities you source, negotiate, and successfully bring across the finish line, the more you earn.

There is no traditional cap on your ability to generate commissions-your earning potential is directly tied to your performance and the value of the deals you bring to Kingdom Homes.

We're looking for someone who is motivated by ownership, results, and the opportunity to directly participate in the upside of every successful transaction.
