Kickstart Your CRE Career: Get Paid to Learn Deal-Finding and Build Your Own Pipeline

[Darragh Duignan]

Learning how to find great deals is one of the most valuable skills for anyone starting out in commercial real estate. Knowing how to source, evaluate, and negotiate off-market properties gives you the foundation to build your own portfolio or scale into larger projects.

Hi my name is Darragh and over the past year, I’ve transitioned from single-family to commercial real estate acquisitions, building a “deal machine” that focuses on three core areas: Data, Outreach, and Relationship Building.

Data: We've developed a rock-solid system to build accurate, targeted property lists, even for LLC-held properties, that allows us to rapidly enter new markets and asset classes with verified owner contact info.

Outreach: Right now, we have our cold calling outsourced to VAs, but I’m looking to bring someone on who is ready to take on initial outreach, especially to break through the gatekeepers on larger assets.

Relationship Building: I personally manage the relationship side of the business. Our cold callers submit leads into our CRM, I conduct discovery calls, gather financials, and submit an LOI with a personalized video that walks sellers through our valuation.

This system has already led to some incredible deals. We just closed on a multifamily in Texas, have an RV park under contract, and are sending out 3-5 LOIs per week. 

We know how to get deals under contract, but I’ve seen that having US-based outreach would help us secure bigger properties by better navigating gatekeepers.

Now, here’s where you come in: If you’re new to commercial real estate but hungry to learn, there’s no better way to build experience than by mastering how to find deals. This is a commission-based role—ideal for someone who wants to get paid to learn the process hands-on. You’ll gain skills and insight into our sourcing and evaluation techniques that could set you up to find your own deals down the line.If you’re ready to jump in, learn, and get compensated as we close deals, this opportunity might be for you.
