💼 Business Development Specialist – Emerson Property Management

Houston, Texas - Full-Time

Base Salary + Performance Bonuses

Emerson Property Management is hiring a full-time Business Development Specialist to own and execute our growth and outreach efforts across Houston, Texas.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on consistent execution, real-world marketing, and being actively involved in the local real estate community. Your job is to make sure Emerson Property Management is visible, present, and top-of-mind with real estate agents, investors, and referral partners — every single week.

This is not a “sit behind a desk and post on social” role. This is a hands-on, field-based marketing position focused on outreach, relationships, content, and events.

About Emerson Property Management

Our client, Emerson Property Management, leases and manages residential rental properties in the Greater Houston area to maximize long-term property values, enhance resident relations and achieve owner objectives.

You will work closely with our Business Development Manager and leadership team to drive:

• Realtor outreach
• Referral relationships
• Event presence
• Content creation
• Webinars and educational marketing
• Brand visibility across the local real estate community

Your success is measured by activity, consistency, and the long-term relationships you build.

• Create at least 1 video per week (short-form or educational)
• Create and schedule social media content
• Launch and manage a local Facebook Group
• Update marketing materials, one-pagers, and presentations
• Assist with basic paid ads (Facebook, boosting content, etc.)

Market Reporting

• Create and distribute monthly rental market updates to brokerages and referral partners

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has a communications, business development or real estate background
• Is comfortable being on the phone and in the field
• Enjoys talking to people and building relationships
• Is highly organized and self-directed
• Is consistent and reliable (this role lives or dies by execution)
• Is comfortable creating basic video and social content
• Likes having clear expectations and ownership
• Enjoys being out of the house and meeting new people most days
• Gets energy from networking and follow-up

You do not need to be a designer or ad specialist.

You do need to be proactive, personable, and disciplined.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Business Development Specialists consistently:

• Show up at brokerages every week
• Maintain active relationships with agents and partners
• Keep Emerson Property Management visible in the local real estate community
• Produce ongoing educational content
• Ensure marketing never “falls off the list” again

This role creates the pipeline environment that allows the company to win.

Performance Bonuses

• $1,500 quarterly bonus when company adds 30+ units in a quarter
• $3,000 quarterly bonus when company adds 60+ units in a quarter

(Directly tied to overall company growth — not individual sales pressure.)

Additional Benefits

• $500/month allowance towards health insurance/mileage
• Industry leading sales, marketing, and business development training
• Direct access to leadership and mentorship

Work Location

This is a full-time remote role with a strong in-person component. You will work from home for administrative tasks, but the core of this position is being out in the Houston community most days — at brokerages, networking events, meetups, and in-person meetings.
