Sales jobs with inbound leads and commission that climbs

You already know how to handle a no. Here you'd sell to homeowners who contacted us first, paid hourly on top of commission that climbs with every closing.

Hit the standard this seat carries, 5 closings a month at our minimum margin, and that's about $141,300 a year.See how that's built

Who this path is for

You're paid on commission today, or you have been
You've worked a pipeline: calls, follow-ups, appointments
You want inbound leads and a comp plan you can actually read
You can get to the Raleigh/Cary office every workday

People on this path often come from

Car sales
Door-to-door
Solar
Insurance
SDR or BDR
Mortgage
Real estate agent

Every lead is inbound

Homeowners call, text or fill in a form because they want an offer on their house. The seats on this path work those conversations — you are not handed a list of strangers, and there's no dial quota hiding behind the job title.

Those deals are also worth more: fees on inbound-sourced deals have run $15,000 to $22,000, meaningfully above what outbound produces.

What you keep from your current job is the hard part: discovery, objections, follow-up and asking for the signature. What you drop is the dialing.

The other half of the trade: you sell the houses we buy to investors who do this for a living. B2B calls about price and terms, not families deciding whether to sell. We expect one rep to move 7 to 10+ properties a month.

What the job actually is

You turn seller leads into signed contracts, by phone and in person.

Call and text inbound seller leads and book appointments
Meet sellers at the property, build trust, present offers
Take clear property photos and note the condition
Negotiate and get purchase agreements signed
Log every call, text and visit in the CRM the same day
Follow up on every open lead until it closes or dies

What's different from where you are now

The lead already wants to talk to you. No lists, no door knocking.
One product, one market: houses in the Triangle.
The deal is bigger and slower than a car or a panel install, so follow-up decides your month.
Hourly pay on top of the commission, so a slow month isn't a zero.

How pay works

The same plan for every sales seat here, from the entry seat to Senior Closer.

The standard: 5 closings a month

After your ramp, the seat carries a standard of 5 closings a month, each at or above our $15,000 minimum margin. That's what the month pays.

At the standard

$11,775a month

about $141,300 a year

$9,375 commission, plus the $2,400 hourly. How it builds: all 5 re-rate to 12.5% = $9,375.

$15,000 is our minimum margin on a deal, not the size of a typical one. And this is the standard the seat carries, not a description of what the company has been closing: it's what we expect from someone whose whole job is closing.

What the fifth closing is worth

$4,575

A month with 4 closings at our minimum margin pays $7,200. A month with 5 pays $11,775 — a 64% jump, because the fifth closing re-rates the whole month rather than just paying its own rate. On a plain marginal ladder that same closing would add $1,875.

The plan

The sales pay plan
Hourly	$15 an hour, about $2,400 a month at 160 hours. You keep it on top of your commission. It isn't an advance, it's never repaid, and it's never deducted from what you earn.
Commission	A percentage of the fee on each deal you close, paid on top of the hourly.
What the percentage is of	The fee the deal produces, after any money that had to be paid out to get it done: partner splits, transactional funding, payoffs.
Ramp	Your first 90 days are a ramp. After that the standard is 5 closings a month, at or above our $15,000 minimum margin per deal.
How the rates work	Flat 8% on your first 4 closings. Hit 5 and the whole month re-rates to 12.5% — including the 4 you already closed, not just the fifth. From 10 up it steps marginally, like tax brackets, with no second re-rate.
What counts toward the ladder	A closing counts toward your ladder when it clears our $15,000 minimum margin. A deal below the floor still pays, but it doesn't count toward the five.
Cap	None.

The rates

Commission rate by number of closings in a month
Closings in a month	Rate
1–4	8%
5–9	12.5%applies to every closing that month, back to the first
10–14	15%
15–20	20%
21+	25%

Flat 8% on your first 4 closings. Hit 5 and the whole month re-rates to 12.5% — including the 4 you already closed, not just the fifth. From 10 up it steps marginally, like tax brackets, with no second re-rate.

A closing counts toward your ladder when it clears our $15,000 minimum margin. A deal below the floor still pays, but it doesn't count toward the five. A thin deal can't be used to trigger the re-rate, and anything below the floor needs a sales manager's sign-off before we buy it at all.

Portfolio deals count per house, so a 15-house purchase is 15 closings toward your ladder, as long as each house clears the floor. We have bought a 15-house portfolio in a single transaction: at our minimum margin that is $31,125 of commission, $33,525 with the hourly, from one deal.

The bands above 10 are headroom. Our closing history to date is one founder splitting his week between acquisitions, dispositions, transaction coordination and marketing; this seat exists so that closing is one person's whole job.

What counts

Revenue types that earn commission
Deal type	Paid on	Rate
Wholesale / assignment	The assignment fee	Ladder rates
Novation	The spread	Ladder rates
Flip	Net profit, after rehab, holding and selling costs	5%

"Ladder rates" means the table above, 8% through 25%, including the re-rate at 5. Flip commission is a share of what's left after the costs of the project, and it pays when the house sells, which is months after you put it under contract.

Getting to the standard

Getting there takes a quarter or so. These months use real reference points from our own closings over the last two years: the median deal and the average one. Watch what happens between 4 and 5.

A month with 2 closings, at the median and average deal fee
A month with 2 closings	$15,000median deal	$20,000average deal
Commission (2 deals at 8%)	$2,400	$3,200
Hourly for the month	+ $2,400	+ $2,400
Total for the month	$4,800	$5,600

A month with 4 closings, at the median and average deal fee
A month with 4 closings	$15,000median deal	$20,000average deal
Commission (4 deals at 8%)	$4,800	$6,400
Hourly for the month	+ $2,400	+ $2,400
Total for the month	$7,200	$8,800

A month with 5 closings, at the median and average deal fee
A month with 5 closings	$15,000median deal	$20,000average deal
Commission (all 5 re-rate to 12.5%)	$9,375	$12,500
Hourly for the month	+ $2,400	+ $2,400
Total for the month	$11,775	$14,900

Both columns are real numbers from our own closings over the last two years: the median deal and the average one. The average is pulled up by a few large deals, so plan around the median.

It isn't only wholesaling

Assignment fees, novation spreads and a share of flip profit all count toward your commission. Assignments and novations pay at the rates above. A flip pays 5% of the net profit, after rehab, holding and selling costs.

One flip we're running now is on track to net about $150,000. At 5%, that's about $7,500 to the rep from a single deal, paid when the house sells.

That's one current deal, not a typical one, and flip profit is only known once the house sells, months after you put it under contract. It's a share of what's left after costs, never a share of the sale price, and never a guaranteed amount.

Why a lower rate on flips

A flip takes months, and the money is only real when the house sells. Assignments and novations pay out at closing, so they carry the full rate.

The hard parts

Worth knowing before you apply. If these are deal-breakers, better to find out now.

In the office in Raleigh/Cary, full-time, set hours. This is not a remote or hybrid seat.
You drive to properties. Reliable transportation is required.
Every call, text and visit goes in the CRM the same day. No exceptions for good weeks.
Follow-up is most of the week. You stay on a seller until it's a yes or a clear no.
Slow months happen. You keep the hourly whatever the month looks like, and nothing is ever deducted from it.
Deal fees vary, so two months with the same number of closings can pay differently.
Measured on closings, not hours at the desk.
