Director of Sales — Brick & Banister Real Estate Co.

Many sales postings make broad promises about culture, compensation, and career growth. We prefer to be straightforward about the responsibilities, expectations, and resources associated with this position.

The Role

Your central focus will be selling homes. You will build and manage your own pipeline, generate new business, and personally guide clients through the transaction process from initial opportunity through closing. This is a commission-only role with unlimited earning potential and no guaranteed income.

The company does not provide leads. This position is designed for someone who is willing to prospect consistently, follow up diligently, and create business opportunities instead of waiting for them to arrive.

You will also support newer agents as they build the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to work independently. Our goal is to develop capable, self-sufficient professionals—not create long-term dependence. If you prefer to remain permanently indispensable to others, this role may not be a fit.

Our Sales Philosophy

We do not believe market conditions are the main factor determining an agent’s success. We place greater emphasis on an agent’s discipline, approach, and ability to understand what clients truly need.

Interest rates, inventory, and timing can become convenient explanations when an agent stops asking thoughtful questions. We are seeking someone who continues to investigate, identifies the real motivations behind a client’s decisions, and accepts responsibility for the outcome rather than attributing an unsuccessful transaction solely to the market.

Resources Available to You

Coaching from Amy. Take part in daily live coaching through Power-Up, receive practical support with active transactions, and join a team culture built around the GROWTH framework: Grit, Results, Only Leaders, Wealth Building, Teamwork, and Humility.

The PLACE platform. Access an integrated suite of CRM, marketing, transaction-management, and lender-connection tools—resources that could otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars to build independently.

Requirements

An active real estate license in Minnesota or Wisconsin.

Compensation and Expectations

Income is not guaranteed. Because this is a commission-only position, no one can accurately predict your earnings, and we will not make promises about what you may earn.

What we can share is that our team has completed more than 1,000 transactions. The agents who build sustainable businesses here consistently show up, take ownership, and do the work required to succeed.

If this opportunity aligns with your goals and expectations, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

• Convert inbound buyer and seller leads through consultation, relationship building, and consistent follow-up across the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin markets
• Carry and manage your own active buyer and seller pipeline from first conversation through close

• Participate in daily Power-Up team meetings, bringing real problems and real accountability to the table
• Represent Brick & Banister's standard of communication and client care: responsive, transparent, and never leaving a client in the dark
• Use Brivity CRM to manage client relationships, track pipeline activity, and maintain accurate records across all active transactions
• Contribute to the team's growth strategy by identifying patterns in buyer and seller behavior, market shifts, and conversion opportunities
• Collaborate with the Director of Operations on transaction coordination and client handoffs to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Embody the GROWTH framework in daily work: Grit, Results, Only Leaders, Wealth Building, Teamwork, and Humility

Required:

• Active Minnesota and/or Wisconsin real estate license in good standing
• Minimum 1 year of active experience in real estate with at least 20 closed transactions
• Demonstrated ability to convert leads and manage a pipeline from first contact through close
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the willingness to be honest even when it is uncomfortable

Preferred:

• Experience in both buyer and seller representation
