What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Development Manager position at Real Property Management Express?
RPME | Reports to: CEO | Compensation: 100% Commission, No Cap
Read This First
You don’t need a playbook. You need a territory, a compelling offer, and the freedom to run. That’s what this role is, freedom to operate.
RPME manages residential properties across South Dakota, Iowa, and Kansas. We add over 1,000 apartment units a year — and we’re hiring the person who makes that number grow faster.
There’s no base salary. There’s no ceiling either. Every door you bring under management pays the same rate — unit one or unit ten thousand. If you’ve built a book before and know how to move fast, the math works in your favor from day one.
The Patterns We’re Hiring For
We use the Culture Index survey as part of our process. The patterns that win in this role are:
Trailblazer
You’re driven by independence, financial upside, and public recognition — in that order. You communicate conceptually and persuasively, and you can work a room or a phone just as effectively as a well-crafted email. You mentor naturally, delegate comfortably, and don’t mind moderate management complexity as long as the pace is fast and the environment keeps changing. You don’t procrastinate on deals — you procrastinate on bureaucracy.
Persuader
You’re high energy, quick to connect, and you close on enthusiasm as much as logic. Your texts get replied to. Your calls get answered. You motivate the people around you without trying. You need to delegate to stay in your lane — and you know it. You thrive in environments that reward speed and change, and you lose energy fast when the pace slows down.
If you’ve taken Culture Index and you’re one of these patterns, tell us. If you haven’t, you’ll take it during our process — and we read it carefully.
What you won’t find here: a fit for analysts, harmonizers, or specialists. Those are real and valuable patterns. They’re just not this role.
What You’ll Actually Do
One thing drives your commission: execute new management agreements. Walk properties. Build relationships with owners, brokers, syndicators, and investors. Pitch. Close. Hand off cleanly to operations. Repeat.
The expectations that keep you in the seat (reviewed quarterly, not tied to commission):
The Compensation, In Plain Terms
Who This Is For
You’re probably a fit if:

We move fast. If you’re the right pattern, you’ll know within two weeks.

What You’ll Actually Do
One thing drives your commission: execute new management agreements. Walk properties. Build relationships with owners, brokers, syndicators, and investors. Pitch. Close. Hand off cleanly to operations. Repeat.
The expectations that keep you in the seat (reviewed quarterly, not tied to commission):
- Build and maintain strong investor and owner relationships
- Identify and qualify new multifamily deal opportunities
- Stay aligned with operations, marketing, and leadership
The Compensation, In Plain Terms
- Paid per new apartment unit added under RPME management
- No quota. No threshold. No cap. The 1st door pays the same as the 10,000th.
- Paid over 12 months to avoid clawbacks
- 90-day ramp with a recoverable draw while you build your pipeline
Who This Is For
You’re probably a fit if:
- You’ve personally closed multifamily management agreements, BD deals, or comparable B2B transactions where you owned the full cycle
- The phrase “100% commission” makes you lean in, not lean out
- You’ve built a book of business — owners, brokers, syndicators, investors — that you can activate from day one
- You can walk into an owner meeting cold and leave with a verbal commitment
- You move fast, communicate clearly, and don’t wait for someone to hand you a script
- You need a guaranteed base to plan your life
- You want to manage a team more than carry a number
- You prefer structured environments with clear playbooks for every situation
- You haven’t closed a deal you sourced yourself in the last 12 months
Send the following to hrsupport@expressrpm.com:
- A short note (5 sentences max) on the biggest deal you’ve closed and how you sourced it
- Your résumé or LinkedIn
- If you’ve already taken Culture Index, your pattern — saves us both a step
