Retained search for the leadership that runs your portfolio. VPs, directors, and C-suite for real estate and property management firms in New York.
A bad executive hire does not just cost a salary. It costs momentum, it costs your team, and it costs the year it takes to notice and start over.
The best leaders are not scrolling job boards. They are running portfolios right now, and reaching them takes a real search, not a posting and a pile of inbound applications.
We start in your building to understand the role, the team, and what great looks like, before a single name goes on a list.
Every finalist is assessed for fit and leadership style, so you are choosing between people who can actually run the operation.
You see the market, the pipeline, and the progress every week. No black box, no disappearing for a month.
The best candidates I have seen in this entire search, including the last seven months of the other firm being retained.
A retained search closed in 33 days after the prior firm spent seven months and eight candidates with no hire. High touch, on-site, and built to close.
Retained executive search is typically a percentage of first-year compensation, and the number depends on the seniority and scope of the seat. We will put a clear figure in front of you for your specific search.
Directors and VPs of property management, heads of operations, regional leaders, and the senior people who run a portfolio like an owner would.
An executive search takes longer than a line-level hire because the pool is smaller and the stakes are higher. We move with urgency and keep you updated at every stage rather than going dark.
We have spent years in property management hiring specifically. We know the operators who can run your portfolio, and we vet for judgment and leadership, not just a title on a resume.
Retained search is a partnership. Send us the role and we will walk you through how we run it and what to expect.
