Real Estate Operations & Client Experience Manager

Who We Are

The Patterson Group is one of Northern Virginia’s most trusted residential real estate teams, backed by 40 years of experience and deep local expertise.

Recognized as the #1 real estate team in Virginia and the #1 team in Alexandria, and ranked among the nation’s top-producing teams, we are known for strategic guidance, responsive service, and results-driven representation at every price point.

Our team is built on integrity, discretion, professionalism, and a commitment to taking great care of our clients. We have strong local connections and a collaborative group of experienced real estate professionals who work closely together to create an exceptional experience for every client.

We believe that luxury is defined by service, not price point. Every client deserves thoughtful, personalized service, and every member of our team plays an important role in creating that experience.

We’re looking for someone who wants to become an important part of that team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, staying organized, learning new things, and being involved in the many moving pieces that go into a successful real estate transaction.

Real estate moves fast. Every day is different. The majority of your week will be spent in the office managing transactions, client communications, scheduling, and administrative responsibilities. The remainder may involve supporting listing launches, meeting vendors, assisting agents, visiting properties, coordinating inspections, or solving whatever challenge the day brings.

• Manage transactions from contract ratification through settlement
• Coordinate with buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, contractors, photographers, title companies, and vendors
• Track every contractual deadline to ensure nothing is missed
• Prepare, review, and organize transaction files
• Deliver concierge-level client service throughout every transaction
• Schedule inspections, appraisals, walkthroughs, settlement appointments, and vendors
• Support the team's day-to-day operations
• Assist with administrative projects and basic bookkeeping
• Run occasional local errands and property visits
• Jump in wherever needed to help the team succeed

No two days will look exactly alike. One hour you might be preparing contracts, the next answering a phone, meeting a vendor at a property, helping stage a home, attending a walkthrough, assisting with bookkeeping, or ensuring a closing stays on schedule.

We're looking for someone who is organized, dependable, thoughtful, and eager to learn.

Real estate experience is helpful, but it isn't everything. We can teach you the real estate side of the business. We're more interested in finding someone who enjoys helping others, takes pride in their work, and is excited to grow with our team.
