Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Property Management Sales
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Eastern Time (EST)
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an experienced Sales Development Representative (SDR) with a background in property management or real estate sales to convert inbound opportunities into long-term clients.
This is not a cold prospecting role. You’ll work primarily with property owners, landlords, and real estate investors who have already expressed interest in property management services.
Your focus will be on:
- Rapid inbound lead response
- Lead qualification and conversion
- Property management sales
- Relationship building
- Persistent follow-up
- CRM and pipeline management
- Moving qualified prospects toward signed agreements
Success in this role comes down to speed to contact, strong phone communication, trust-building, and disciplined follow-up.
If you understand property management and know how to turn interested property owners into clients, this role is a strong fit.

- Prospect needs
