The role of a real estate executive  

Whether your real estate company is a small, family-owned business, or you run a large company that serves multiple markets, hiring the right C-Suite talent can prove to be key to your sustained growth. From company directors to property managers, your executives set the tone for your entire team.

You need a real estate executive who aligns with your values and vision. The right leaders will inspire your workforce and create actionable business plans for the future.

Real estate executives may be responsible for the following:

• Building and land acquisitions
• Implementation of business strategies and initiatives
• Management of commercial and residential properties
• Management of financial assets
• Property evaluation
• Site locations
• Training and development 

Y Scouts recruitment for Real Estate executives 

The real estate industry is vast and includes many different needs for C-Suite talent. Y Scouts understands the nuances and unique requirements of your specific organization that  may impact what you look for in an executive candidate.

By getting to know your existing leadership team and the “why” that serves as the purpose-driven fuel and drives your organization, we can match you with candidates who immediately contribute to work that matters. Y Scouts recruits for the following roles and more:

• Chief Executive Officer/ President 
• Chief Operations Officer
• Chief Marketing Officer
• Chief Financial Officer
• Vice Presidents
• And More

Qualities a real estate executive should possess

The right real estate executive search and recruitment firm will look for a candidate whose vision and values align with your own. However, there are certain intrinsic qualities that a real estate executive should possess in order to lead a company into a thriving future.     

These qualities include:

• Ability to inspire real estate agents and other employees
• Attention to detail
• Clear and effective communication
• Integrity
• Networking skills
• Proven leadership ability
• Tech savviness

How Y Scouts stands above the competition

At Y Scouts, we believe all inspired organizations and leaders, regardless of industry or size, start with why. By knowing your purpose, and the purpose behind your real estate business, you can follow the trajectory to sustained growth and success.

Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? When organizations and leaders know why they do what they do, they inspire others to be a part of what they do.

There are executives placed in charge, and then there are those who truly lead. The goal of the Y Scouts purpose-based approach to executive search and recruitment isn’t to present candidates who lead with their accomplishments or an impressive resume. 

Our goal is to match our clients to leaders who lead with their “why” — the passions, vision, and values that drive their personal and professional lives.

How Y Scouts real estate executive recruitment works 

The executive search and recruitment team at Y Scouts understands the need for a covert and confidential search process. This allows us and our clients to truly understand the candidate behind the resume, identify what they care about and ensure alignment with the company’s culture, mission, and values, all without revealing the company’s identity.

We believe that a worthwhile leadership candidate must be highly skilled,  but more importantly, must align with your company’s existing culture, values, and mission.

We’ve developed a unique search process that goes beyond basic job descriptions. Our three distinct pillars give us a competitive edge in finding the right talent, and our purpose-based vision allows us to match inspiring and lasting leaders with your real estate company.

The first purpose-driven executive search firm

Y Scouts is the first purpose-driven executive search firm in the global industry. Here’s what that means:

• We get to know your leadership team and understand your company’s “why.”
• We match clients with candidates who have the hard and soft skills needed for real estate executive positions.
• We look for candidates based not only on job qualifications but also on how their traits and expertise match your company’s purpose.

The Y Scouts search process begins when we learn about your purpose and motivation so that we can craft a personalized executive search that allows us to analyze each candidate and reflect your culture, values, and vision with the talent we take through the interview process.

The 3 uniques of Y Scouts

Y Scouts has developed a proven process to help your company find high-caliber, passionate leadership to fill your real estate executive needs. This process consists of three unique, proprietary steps: Role Visioning & Success Outcome, Covert Discovery Process, and our Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose. 

Role Visioning & Success Outcome

The Y Scouts Role Visioning & Success Outcome process allows you to define how a successful real estate executive would operate in your company. This step allows you to go beyond a job description to determine the kind of thoughtful leadership you need.  

The Role Visioning & Success Outcome process consists of the following: 

• Company DNA Assessment:

We conduct an anonymous survey with a cross-section of employees, from senior leaders to entry-level staff. This survey, taking about 5 to 10 minutes per participant, helps us understand how your company operates, its successes, challenges, and unique cultural aspects.

• Role Visioning & Success Outcomes:

Y Scouts collaborates with 2-5 key stakeholders from your leadership team. This survey takes 25 to 30 minutes and delves deeply into defining what success looks like in the executive role.

The survey helps identify the top three to four success outcomes for the role, ensuring a clear understanding of expectations and measurements of success.

• Collaborative Strategy Session and Analysis:

We hold a brainstorming session with your leadership team to refine the scope of our executive search, ensuring alignment with your company’s culture and vision.

We compile all the information from the key stakeholders into a clean, easy-to-read format that defines success in the role and how it will be measured. This detailed assessment guides our search for the right executive.

This streamlined process ensures we understand your company’s unique needs and find leaders who align with your culture and can achieve the desired outcomes.

Covert Discovery Process

Our recruitment strategies are completely outbound— we don’t post jobs. Instead, we conduct a purpose-driven search that targets executive candidates who can quickly meet your hard and soft skill needs, step into a C-Suite role, align with your culture and values, and make an immediate, positive impact.

Just as our Role Visioning & Success Outcome process allows us to discover your why, the covert discovery process allows us to discover the why of real estate executive candidates. Our initial, informal 30-minute candidate interview doesn’t include pre-packaged questions — we allow candidates to open up and share their personal and professional stories.

When people open up, their “interview masks” fall away, and they’re less apt to give canned responses, or just tell us what we want to hear. This also prevents research of your company and the position you’re filling. Thus, candidates won’t try to provide the “perfect” answers.

Candidates who feel relaxed and engaged tell the truth and reveal more about themselves than they would in a rigid interview setting, and we’re able to more accurately assess their compatibility with your company.

Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose

Lastly, neuroscientist Dr. Robert Cooper developed the groundbreaking and innovative Y Scouts Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose. Dr. Cooper fine-tuned this unique approach to executive search by researching the top global leaders and the shared traits they exhibit that contribute to consistent, effective, and elevated leadership.

This approach helps us to vet the real estate executive candidates who should move forward with the formal interview process, and allow us to discover leaders who possess the following proven qualities:  

• A track record of driving successful results 
• Proven ability to train, develop, and inspire emerging leaders
• An insatiable hunger for knowledge and continuous learning

Y Scouts Client Portal and ATS

When clients sign into the transparent and user-friendly Client Portal, they have open access to the Y Scouts Applicant Tracking System (ATS). ATS shows clients every step of their executive search journey, including the profiles of every candidate we’re considering to match with your company, which candidates are progressing through our recruitment process, and which candidates we’ve decided aren’t the right fit.

We won’t leave you in the dark — Y Scouts offers full visibility of the executive search process. Clients can leave feedback comments on candidate profiles, including the positives they see, who they’d like to see progress, and who they may want to decline. 

The Y Scouts Client Portal also gives clients access to:

• Complete candidate profiles
• Detailed notes from our conversations with candidates
• Our assessment of each candidate

The Client Portal is only accessible to approved members of your leadership team and is highly secure. Many Y Scouts clients value the Client Portal because it allows them to stay informed and involved in every step of the executive search process.

Y Scouts’ Mortgage Executive Search Process

Y Scouts mortgage recruiters are covert – our search operation is completely confidential with precise perfection to deliver you a leader that’s ready to win the future.

The first step that our team takes with every client is to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business. We want to know more about what you do and why you do it. What are the operational goals you’d like to achieve with your newly hired mortgage executive? What are your mission, vision and culture like and how might this role impact these factors?

With this information, Y Scouts can create a unique custom-tailored executive search process for you. This personalized search process allows us to identify qualified talent that can meet your expectations.

In addition to this client-centric process, Y Scouts also uses a unique no job posting approach. Unlike most mortgage recruiting companies, we don’t post jobs. The reason that we take this no job posting approach is to ensure that we get to the stuff that hides beneath the surface

We at Y Scouts firmly believe that your ideal candidate needs the right soft and hard skills to succeed. That’s why we take a detailed look at each candidate. Our team at Y Scouts examines a candidate’s experience, skills and overall cultural fit. Do they have the right skills set to fulfill the responsibilities of this role? Are they a good fit to lead within your company’s existing culture? Using this in-depth analysis, Y Scouts can deliver candidates of the highest quality to our clients. The result of this all-encompassing process is delivering you an authentic, exceptional leader that’s ready to raise the game for everyone on day 1.
