Build Your Next Stage with Next Stage Homes
At Next Stage Homes, we don’t just look for properties we build relationships that create opportunities.
We are a fast growing Southern California real estate investment company specializing in acquiring residential properties with strong investment potential. We purchase both on-market and off market properties, renovate homes, and bring them back to market.
Our Acquisition Agents are at the center of our growth building relationships with real estate professionals, uncovering opportunities before the competition, analyzing potential investments, negotiating purchases, and helping us grow our acquisition pipeline.
If you’re highly motivated, relationship driven, competitive, and know how to create opportunities rather than wait for them, we want to meet you.
About the Role

This is not a role where leads are handed to you. You will actively build your own network and pipeline, primarily through consistent outreach and relationship building with Realtors.
You’ll identify both MLS listed and off market properties, evaluate them from an investor's perspective, negotiate purchase terms, and work with our internal team to acquire properties that meet Next Stage Homes' investment criteria.
