Business Development Manager - Property Management

1,500 Doors. 500+ Investors. Now We're Doubling!

We are hiring a Business Development Manager.

Roselle, IL. Roughly half your time in our office, half out meeting clients across Chicagoland.

GC Realty & Development has spent 23 years building something a salesperson can actually sell. We manage roughly 1,500 units for 500+ investors across more than 100 Chicagoland villages, and a large share of those owners live out of state and never see their properties. They stay with us because our in house maintenance team responds faster than any third party vendor network, and because we place tenants who pay top dollar and stay.

That is your pitch. You are not selling on price against every management company in the market. You are selling performance you can point to.

$75,000 to $125,000+ your first year. $50,000 base, uncapped commission.

You own the full sales cycle. Company generated leads come to you, you build your own pipeline alongside them, you sit down with prospects in their homes, and you close. You will also build the referral network that feeds the next round of deals, working the Realtor and investor community across Chicagoland, and you will help shape the marketing that generates leads in the first place.

This is not a role where someone hands you a script and a quota. You will have direct input on how we go to market, and the ceiling on what you earn is the ceiling on what you sell.

• Work Company Generated Leads: Reach prospects by phone, text, video, and in person, walk them through what we do and what their property should achieve in the rental market, and close them.
• Build Your Own Pipeline: Social media campaigns, public presentations, warm calling, and cold calling to fill the funnel alongside the leads we hand you.
• Sit Down With Owners: Daily in person, phone, or video meetings with prospective clients to discuss their home, present our services, and set realistic rent expectations.
