Associate Retail Leasing Broker

Arena Realty Advisors is an active retail brokerage and development shop working across the Southeast — leasing former bank branches, Walmart outparcels, and freestanding retail; structuring NNN and ground lease deals; and executing build-to-suit projects for QSR, convenience, and auto retail tenants. We don’t just list properties. We buy them, develop them, and own them. We’re looking for a retail leasing broker to grow with us — someone who wants to learn the ownership side of the business while earning market commissions on day one.

Leasing, sales, property management, analyst work, tenant rep — if you’ve been in the business and understand how deals come together, we want to talk Active real estate license (or ability to obtain quickly) Hungry, self-directed, and comfortable on the phone — leasing is an outreach business Most importantly: a genuine desire to become an owner, not just a broker What We Offer Market commission splits — you’re paid competitively from deal one A defined path to ownership — opportunities to co-invest and earn equity in real estate deals and partnerships as you prove yourself Direct mentorship from a broker/developer actively acquiring and developing retail properties — you’ll see the full lifecycle: acquisition, leasing, development, and disposition A growing pipeline of in-house assets and 3rd party listings, so you’re never starting from zero Exposure to NNN investment sales, ground lease structuring, and build-to-suit development — the skills that turn brokers into owners Why This Matters The brokers who build real wealth in this business are the ones who transition from earning commissions to owning assets. Most never get that chance because no one shows them how. Here, that’s the whole point. You’ll earn while you learn, and when the right deal comes along, you’ll have the opportunity to be in it — not just on it.
