Business Development & Community Relations Manager

Full-time | Greater Madison area | Relationship-building, outreach, and community engagement

HOMEstretch helps homeowners and Realtors prepare homes for sale through painting, flooring, home clear-outs, light landscaping, cleaning, and project coordination.

Not every home needs everything
-it needs the right game plan. We help determine which cosmetic updates can make the greatest difference while making the process easier and less stressful for the homeowner and Realtor.

You may be the first HOMEstretch team member a Realtor or homeowner meets. You’ll work closely with our owners and project team to understand their needs, build trust, and connect them with the right next step.

You’ll spend much of your time in the community developing relationships and networking, with dedicated office time for calls, emails, social media, follow-ups, CRM updates, and planning.

• Base salary of $48,000–$52,000 annually, depending on experience.
• Monthly performance
  - bonus opportunity tied to company revenue goals, creating additional earning potential as the business grows.
• Paid vacation and holidays.
• Mileage reimbursement for approved business travel.

• Build and maintain genuine relationships with Realtors, homeowners, and community partners.
• Visit real estate offices, make outreach calls, and consistently follow up with warm leads, past contacts, and Realtor partners.
• Schedule and deliver engaging presentations and attend real estate and community networking events.
• Remember meaningful details from conversations and use them to make future follow-up personal and relevant.
• Keep our CRM accurate and current, including conversation notes, relationship details, lead status, and next follow-up dates.
• Attend homeowner consultations and property walkthroughs when appropriate.
• Develop a practical understanding of common cosmetic home updates and recognize which opportunities fit HOMEstretch’s scope.
• Track outreach, appointments, presentations, referrals, and results, and work with company leadership to improve our business-development approach.

• You genuinely enjoy meeting people, learning their stories, and starting conversations.
• You build trust in a warm, professional way and can be persuasive without being pushy.
• You understand that strong relationships require consistent follow-up—not just a good first impression.
• You are willing to make outreach calls, maintain a CRM, and follow through without repeated reminders.
• You are organized, self-directed, coachable, and comfortable being accountable to activity and growth goals.
• You have reliable transportation and can travel throughout the Greater Madison area.

We’re looking for proven experience building professional relationships, strong communication and organization, consistent follow-through, and comfort initiating conversations.

Experience in business development, account management, outside sales, real estate, home services, senior living, property management, recruiting, hospitality, or community outreach is helpful but not required. The right personality, initiative, maturity, and willingness to learn matter just as much.

This is not a real estate sales position. To avoid conflicts of interest, the person hired cannot hold an active real estate license while employed in this role.

• Realtors recognize you, enjoy hearing from you, and view HOMEstretch as a helpful resource.
• Contacts feel remembered and valued because you build on previous conversations.
• New introductions develop into ongoing professional relationships and referral opportunities.
• Your follow-up is timely, your CRM records are dependable, and your activity contributes to a growing pipeline of approved projects.

• Help shape a growing position instead of stepping into a rigid corporate role.
• Build meaningful relationships throughout the Madison-area real estate community.
• See a direct connection between your efforts and the company’s growth.
• Receive ongoing training, coaching, and support from company ownership.
• Help Realtors and homeowners through an important and often stressful transition.
• Grow into increased responsibility as the company expands.
