The Role
We are seeking an experienced, ambitious Michigan Real Estate Agent to serve as our Sales & Acquisitions Specialist.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional real estate expertise and professional real estate investing. You will be responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating residential properties that match our specific investment criteria. This is a high-outreach, phone-driven sales position, where a significant portion of your day will be spent proactively connecting with real estate professionals, building relationships, and uncovering investment opportunities.

- Contract Management: Prepare, review, and execute contracts and agreements, ensuring compliance and accuracy in all documentation.
- Progress Tracking: Track acquisition targets and results, ensuring that weekly and monthly goals are met and reported to the team.
- Virtual Team Collaboration: Work effectively in a virtual environment, maintaining consistent communication with team members and contributing to a positive, mission-driven culture.
What We’re Looking For
- Licensing: Active Michigan Real Estate License with a strong grasp of Michigan real estate contracts and local markets.
- Proven Experience: 2–3+ years of experience with a proven track record of listing and selling 30+ homes.
- An Investor Mindset: Willingness to look beyond traditional retail pricing and learn institutional underwriting, margin requirements, and creative deal structuring.
- Sales Drive & Resilience: Thrives in a high-volume outbound sales environment, is comfortable making frequent prospecting calls, and has the persistence to build relationships and generate opportunities through consistent outreach.
- Coachability: High receptivity to feedback during deal reviews and a commitment to refining negotiation and valuation skills.
- Organizational Skills: Strong ability to manage lead follow-up, track pipelines, and drive conversions.
- Collaborative Autonomy: Proven ability to work independently while collaborating seamlessly with an investment team.
- Technical Proficiency: Skilled in running comps, navigating the MLS, and managing a CRM effectively.
Compensation & Benefits
- Stable Base Pay: $36,000 base salary to support you while you build and close your pipeline.
- Aggressive Commission Structure: Uncapped commission per acquired property (target annual earnings: $80,000 – $120,000+).
- Overhead Covered: We cover your MLS fees, local board dues, and NAR membership costs.
- Paid Time Off & Training: Paid time off and comprehensive onboarding and training programs.
- Healthcare Stipend: Health and wellness stipend to help cover your personal medical coverage or health-related expenses.
- Investment Opportunities: Access to internal pathways to invest alongside our team in private real estate deals.

Tips for Your Remote Acquisitions Editor Job Search
Show your async communication skills upfront
Remote acquisitions editors correspond with authors, agents, and editorial teams almost entirely in writing. Include samples of author acquisition letters, rejection notes, or proposal feedback in your application materials so hiring managers can judge your written voice before the first interview.
Find remote acquisitions editor openings in one place
Migrate Mate lists remote acquisitions editor roles from across the U.S. in one place. Search by role, find openings that match your editorial background and genre focus, and apply directly without sorting through postings that require on-site work.
Demonstrate independent pipeline management
Remote employers want to know you can track submissions, follow up with authors, and move projects forward without a manager checking in daily. Describe your use of project management or submission tracking tools and quantify the number of projects you've managed simultaneously.
Build a genre-specific acquisition record
Remote hiring managers hire for subject-matter fit as much as editorial skill. Document the specific categories, disciplines, or formats you've acquired in, and name the author relationships or market areas you've developed, so your specialization is clear from the first scan of your materials.
Remote Acquisitions Editor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote acquisitions editor job?
Target remote-first publishers, digital-native imprints, and distributed content companies that have built their editorial workflows around async communication. Remote hiring managers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to manage author relationships and proposal pipelines without in-office oversight. A portfolio showing acquisitions you've championed, manuscript evaluations you've written, or editorial correspondence you've handled gives you a concrete edge over candidates who list skills without evidence.
Which companies hire remote acquisitions editors?
Remote acquisitions editor roles are posted by Kendall Hunt Publishing, AbbVie, and Brix and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These include remote-first publishing houses, distributed academic and professional content teams, and digital media companies with editorial functions built to run across time zones.
Can you get a remote acquisitions editor job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry roles are harder to land because you're expected to manage author relationships and proposal queues independently from day one. Focus on remote-first digital publishers and smaller distributed imprints that hire editorial assistants or junior acquisitions staff. Substitute experience with manuscript reader reports, editorial correspondence samples, or documented involvement in a literary journal, small press, or content organization that shows you can evaluate and develop work on your own.
Do you need a degree for remote acquisitions editor jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh your editorial judgment, genre knowledge, and demonstrated ability to identify and develop publishable work more heavily than a specific credential. A degree in English, communications, or a subject relevant to the publisher's list helps, but a strong portfolio of acquisitions decisions, reader reports, or author development work can open the same doors at remote-first and digital-native employers.
