Working in luxury real estate isn't simply about selling a more expensive home. Clients expect strong market knowledge, thoughtful communication, polished presentation, skilled negotiation, discretion, and a high level of service throughout the experience.

EO&A is looking for an experienced California real estate agent who wants to develop or expand their business in the Napa Valley luxury market.

This opportunity is designed for an agent who already understands the fundamentals of residential real estate and wants to strengthen the skills, relationships, and market knowledge needed to work successfully with luxury buyers and sellers.

Previous luxury sales experience is valuable, but it isn't required for an experienced agent with a strong real estate foundation and a genuine interest in developing this part of their business.

Responsibilities

As a Luxury Real Estate Agent with EO&A, you will:

• Develop and maintain relationships with prospective luxury buyers and sellers
• Consistently prospect, follow up, and build relationships within your database and sphere
• Respond to and nurture buyer and seller opportunities generated through the team
• Conduct professional buyer and seller consultations
• Develop detailed knowledge of Napa Valley properties, neighborhoods, inventory, and market activity
• Advise sellers on property preparation, positioning, pricing, and marketing
• Help buyers evaluate properties based on their priorities, lifestyle, and real estate goals
• Prepare and negotiate offers, contracts, and counteroffers
• Maintain professional, responsive communication throughout each transaction
• Collaborate with the team's marketing and operations resources
• Use the team's CRM to manage relationships, follow-up, appointments, and opportunities
• Develop repeat and referral business through ongoing relationship management
• Participate in coaching, training, and accountability
• Continue strengthening your presentation, negotiation, communication, and client-service skills
• Represent EO&A professionally in every client and industry interaction

Requirements

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds an active California real estate license
• Has previous residential real estate sales and transaction experience
• Is interested in developing or expanding a luxury real estate business
• Is willing to prospect, follow up, and build relationships consistently
• Communicates professionally and confidently with clients and other real estate professionals
• Understands the importance of discretion, responsiveness, preparation, and attention to detail

• Is receptive to coaching, feedback, and accountability
• Wants to develop strong knowledge of Napa Valley's luxury real estate market
• Is comfortable using CRM and real estate technology
• Is organized and able to manage multiple clients and transactions
• Values collaboration and works well within a team environment

Previous luxury real estate experience is welcome, but it isn't required. An experienced residential agent with a strong foundation and a commitment to developing their luxury business may also be a good fit.

What You Can Expect From EO&A

Moving into luxury real estate requires more than changing your price point. It requires developing stronger market knowledge, presentation skills, relationships, and an understanding of the expectations that come with representing higher-value properties and clients.

At EO&A, you'll have access to:

• Coaching, training, and accountability
• Opportunities to learn alongside experienced real estate professionals
• Established real estate systems and processes
• Marketing resources and support
• CRM and follow-up technology
• Buyer and seller lead opportunities
• Opportunities to deepen your knowledge of Napa Valley properties and communities
• Support developing seller consultations and listing presentations
• Opportunities to strengthen negotiation and client-communication skills
• Experienced agents and team members to collaborate with
• Leadership and professional development opportunities
• Revenue-sharing opportunities
• Health insurance opportunities
• Equity participation opportunities
• Vesting and investment opportunities

Our goal is to provide the structure and resources that allow an experienced agent to continue developing their business while building the skills and relationships needed to serve luxury clients well.
