Community Manager

COMMUNITY MANAGER – REAL ESTATE SALES PARTNER COMMUNITY

Company: 1159 Realty Location: Lagos, Ilorin or Ibadan Employment Type: Full-time Work Mode: On-site

ABOUT THE ROLE

1159 Realty is looking for a confident, commercially driven and well-connected Community Manager to build and manage our Daring Tribe — a community of external real estate sales partners.

This is not simply a social media or community engagement role. The focus is on building a high-quality network of established realtors, property consultants and sales partners who already operate in the high-value/high-net-worth property market and can generate qualified leads and sales for 1159 Realty.

The goal is not to build the biggest community. It is to build the right community.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Identify and recruit established realtors, property consultants, luxury property marketers and strategic sales partners across Lagos, Ilorin and Ibadan.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with high-performing real estate professionals.
• Onboard new sales partners and provide them with the necessary product information, sales materials and resources.
• Keep the community active through regular communication, sales motivation, product updates and engagement.
• Support realtors with product knowledge, client objections, pitching and closing opportunities.
• Join realtor/client calls where necessary to support sales.
• Identify inactive or high-potential members and proactively re-engage them.
• Organise and anchor at least one community event every month.
• Identify and secure at least two B2B collaborations monthly that can create access to quality realtors, buyers or business opportunities.
• Coordinate realtor trainings, meetings, property inspections and networking activities.
• Work closely with Sales, Media, Accounting, Tech and other departments to resolve partner concerns and improve the sales experience.
• Collate commission requests and follow up with relevant departments.
• Track community growth, active partners, trainings, events, sales and partner performance.
• Celebrate partner wins, milestones and achievements to strengthen retention and engagement.
• Prepare weekly and quarterly community reports.
• Continuously develop strategies to attract experienced realtors who can sell high-value properties.

REQUIREMENTS

• 2–4 years of experience in community management, real estate sales, business development, relationship management, customer success or a related field.
• Strong networking and relationship-building skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong sales and business development ability.
• Comfortable speaking with and approaching established professionals.
• Strong follow-up and organisational skills.
• Ability to host events, trainings and networking sessions.
• Proficiency in WhatsApp, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office and Excel/Google Sheets.
• Comfortable working with social media and AI tools for sales and marketing support.
• Willingness to work on-site from any of our Lagos, Ilorin or Ibadan branches.

ADDED ADVANTAGE

• Existing network of established realtors or property consultants.
• Experience selling or marketing high-value/high-net-worth properties.
• Strong connections within the Lagos, Ibadan or Kwara real estate market.
• Experience in B2B partnerships, networking or business development.
• Experience managing professional communities or sales partner networks.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone who is well-connected, commercially minded, confident and excellent with people — someone who can pick up the phone, build relationships, get people into the room, create partnerships and ultimately turn relationships into business.

If you are passionate about real estate, enjoy networking and know how to build valuable professional relationships, we would love to hear from you.
