Admin Coordinator Newton Based Job

JOB OPPORTUNITY

Administrative Coordinator for Newton’s Top Selling Agent

WHO WE ARE

Ilene Solomon grew up and raised her family here in Newton. She knows Newton and loves this city. She has a passion for real estate and has had tremendous success over the past 35 years working with both buyers and sellers. Along the way her team has expanded in order to grow her business and to deliver outstanding customer service. Ilene’s unique niche marketing style includes hosting creative events and offering her expert staging advice and extensive inventory to her clients. We are conveniently based in Newton Centre and are now looking for an Administrative Coordinator to support the #1 Sales Agent in Newton.

WHO WE NEED

You think two steps ahead – always anticipating the needs of our clients and team. You are compulsively organized and can keep those around you the same way. Paying attention to the smallest details, you can juggle priorities to ensure important projects are handled in a timely way. You don’t get flustered with deadlines and multiple projects; instead you are known to be the calm in the eye of the storm. Taking ownership of your work, being a successful multi-tasker and providing excellent customer service fuels you. Whether in person, in writing or on the phone, you connect well with people. You’re comfortable with technology and database systems and are ready to make a commitment to a team where you can grow as a career administrator.

THE POSITION

Our Administrative Coordinator is a core team member who is responsible for managing all details from pre-listing to closing. This person will work closely with our marketing department to design effective and timely marketing collateral. In addition, this role will be in constant communication with both clients and the numerous professional parties involved in each real estate transaction.

OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT

We operate as a small family business but we have the power and support behind us of an international residential real estate brokerage house. We are a dynamic, energetic and highly-caffeinated team that rolls with the punches inherent in this exhilarating and high-pressured industry and we always maintain a healthy sense of humor. The spring market in real estate is known to be frenzied so our newest team member needs to thrive in the unknown and be able to jump right in with us!

PS

This full-time position is available immediately. Prior work experience in a fast-paced real estate environment is a plus. A current MA salesperson real estate license is preferred, but for the right candidate, we will be happy to sponsor you for the course and testing process. Salary is competitive and based on experience. There are additional ways to make more income through other avenues within the team. Please send your letter of interest and resume to IleneSolomon@IleneSolomon.com.
