Keen Eye Property Inspections is hiring a part-time Business Development Representative to build our real estate agent network across San Diego County (Preferred southern part of San Diego covering Mission Valley to South Bay.)
This is a new, field-based outside sales and relationship marketing role. You'll spend your week in front of real estate agents — at broker caravans, at brokerage sales meetings, and at lunch-and-learn presentations you book and run yourself. If you know the San Diego real estate community and you're good in a room, this is a job you can do well from day one.
What we require
- 2+ years of work experience in or around residential real estate — agent, transaction coordinator, lender, title, escrow, home warranty, or property management
- Experience presenting to groups of 10 or more people as a regular part of a job
- Reliable insured vehicle, current California driver's license, and willingness to drive throughout San Diego County
- Available weekday business hours for morning caravans and brokerage sales meetings, plus about one evening networking event per month
Preferred
- Active or recently active California real estate license
- Existing relationships with San Diego brokerages
- CRM experience, any platform
What you'll do
- Work the broker caravan circuit — two to three caravans per week, presenting at one per month
- Book, host, and deliver brokerage lunch-and-learn presentations
- Represent Keen Eye weekly in a BNI chapter or similar referral group
- Reconnect with 200+ agents who have used us before and drifted
- Keep your agent pipeline current in our CRM
- Report weekly on agents added and presentations delivered
Pay and benefits
- $22–$25 per hour depending on real estate background
- 10 - 15 hours per week to start, growing to 20–25 hours in the spring as the market picks up
- Quarterly bonus tied to presentations delivered and new agent relationships established
- Mileage reimbursed at the IRS rate, currently 76¢ per mile
- Full budget for lunches and materials — you never pay for a presentation out of pocket
- Paid sick leave per California law, and a schedule you help set
Where this goes
This is a small job built to become a big one. The plan is hours growing through spring, full-time within 12–18 months if the agent numbers support it, and from there a general manager role running day-to-day operations.

Real Estate Operations Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a real estate operations professional in California?
Most real estate operations roles in California require a bachelor's degree in business, real estate, or a related field, and many employers prefer candidates who hold a California Department of Real Estate salesperson license, even for non-brokerage roles. Licensing requires completing a California-approved pre-licensing course and passing the state exam administered by the California Department of Real Estate. Roles focused on property management or transactions typically treat the license as a strong differentiator or a hiring requirement.
Which companies hire real estate operations professionals in California?
Employers hiring real estate operationss in California right now include Larson Real Estate Team, Coldwell Banker, and Marcus & Millichap, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's scale of commercial, multifamily, and mixed-use development means that both national real estate firms and large in-house corporate real estate teams at tech, healthcare, and retail companies maintain ongoing operations hiring across the state.
Which California cities have the most real estate operations jobs?
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego have the most real estate operations openings in California. Los Angeles dominates because of its sheer volume of commercial and multifamily inventory managed by national firms and in-house corporate teams, while San Francisco attracts operations roles tied to office and tech-campus portfolios, and San Diego's growing life sciences and mixed-use development pipeline drives consistent demand from both property managers and institutional owners.
Are there remote real estate operations jobs in California?
Yes, though availability depends heavily on the specific function. About 57% of real estate operations openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's split nature. Lease administration, reporting, and transaction coordination tasks are the most frequently offered as remote or hybrid, while on-site property oversight, facilities management, and tenant relations roles almost always require a physical presence.
How can I get hired as a real estate operations professional in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a real estate operations coordinator or property management assistant role, where employers such as CBRE, JLL, and large California multifamily companies regularly hire candidates without direct experience. Pursuing a California Department of Real Estate salesperson license while applying signals commitment and expands the roles available to you. Lateral moves from leasing, administrative, or facilities support positions are common, and familiarity with property management software like Yardi gives early-career candidates a concrete edge.
Where can I find and apply to real estate operations jobs in California?
