Are you a relentless communicator who thrives on the hunt? Do you get energized by making connections, qualifying opportunities, and knowing that your hustle is what fills the pipeline?


GG Homes is looking for a driven Sales Development Representative who's hungry to break into real estate acquisitions, loves being on the phone, and is ready to build serious income through performance. This is a role where your activity directly creates your opportunity—and your paycheck.


If you want a company that rewards your effort, invests in your growth, and makes winning feel like a celebration, let's talk.


Who We Are


GG Homes is a fast-growing real estate investment company and one of Southern California's leading cash buyers. We've built our success on delivering real solutions to homeowners while creating an environment where high performers can truly thrive.


Here's what makes us different: we believe in celebrating wins as much as we believe in working hard to achieve them. Whether it's team trips to Cabo after record months, Din Tai Fung lunches when we crush our goals, or sunset yacht dinners with the team, we make sure success feels rewarding—not just financially, but personally too.


The Role: Sales Development Representative (Lead Manager / Acquisitions Specialist)


This is a high-activity, phone-first role for communicators who are quick on their feet and relentless in their follow-through. As an SDR, you are the engine that powers GG Homes' acquisition pipeline. You'll be cold calling potential sellers, managing and qualifying inbound leads, and setting high-quality appointments for our Acquisitions Managers to close.


You won't be waiting for deals to come to you—you'll be creating them. Every call is a chance to build rapport, uncover motivation, and move a potential deal forward. The best SDRs treat their lead lists like a business, attack every dial with purpose, and take pride in the quality of the appointments they set.


What You'll Actually Do


  • Cold call property owners from targeted lead lists to generate seller interest and uncover motivated leads
  • Qualify inbound leads quickly and accurately, identifying the right sellers for our Acquisitions team
  • Set high-quality, confirmed appointments for Acquisitions Managers—quality matters as much as quantity
  • Build genuine rapport with sellers over the phone, earning trust and keeping conversations moving forward
  • Follow up consistently with leads who aren't ready yet, turning "not now" into "let's meet"
  • Manage your pipeline with precision in Salesforce, keeping every lead properly tracked and updated
  • Hit daily, weekly, and monthly activity and appointment-setting targets
  • Communicate clearly with Acquisitions Managers to ensure smooth handoffs and maximum close rates
  • Strategize with leadership to refine your approach, improve conversion rates, and stay ahead of the market


Who You Are


Your DNA


  • Natural communicator – you build trust fast, listen well, and know how to keep a conversation moving in the right direction
  • Relentless and resilient – you make 100 calls, bounce back from 99 rejections, and come back the next day ready to go again
  • Competitive and self-motivated – you track your own numbers and always try to beat yesterday's performance
  • Organized and disciplined – you follow up on every lead, keep your CRM clean, and never let a deal fall through the cracks
  • Hungry to grow – you want to learn the business, sharpen your skills, and eventually move into a closing role
  • Coachable – you take feedback seriously, implement it fast, and improve continuously


Your Experience


  • Background in phone-based sales, customer service, or lead generation—real estate, solar, insurance, financial services, home improvement, automotive, or similar industries preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to hit call volume and conversion targets in a high-activity environment
  • Experience handling objections and keeping prospects engaged even when they push back
  • Comfortable working with CRM tools—Salesforce experience is a plus
  • Strong verbal communication and active listening skills
  • No real estate experience required—if you're driven, coachable, and ready to work, we'll train you on everything else


Compensation


We offer the best of both worlds: a solid base draw for stability, plus uncapped commission so your hard work translates directly into significant income.


  • Base Salary Draw of $60,000 + Uncapped Commission Structure
  • Realistic First-Year OTE: $100,000–$150,000 (for consistent performers)
  • Top Performers Earn $400,000+ (we have team members doing it right now)
  • No commission ceiling—your earning potential is completely in your control


This is a real opportunity to build financial freedom and fast-track your career in real estate.


Benefits & Culture


We work hard, but we also make sure it's worth it. Here's what you get when you join GG Homes:


  • Flexible PTO – we trust you to manage your time and recharge when you need to
  • Full Health Benefits – Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k)
  • Sales Competitions & Incentives – trips to Cabo, luxury dinners, cash prizes, and recognition for your wins
  • Team Experiences – sunset yacht dinners, Padres games, escape rooms, deep sea fishing, sushi omakase, and more
  • Beautiful Office Space – newly renovated with catered lunches, cold brew on tap, and premium snacks
  • Homebuyers Program – we'll help you buy your own property
  • Real Estate License Sponsorship – we'll cover the cost if you don't have one
  • Ongoing Training & Development – learn from experienced closers and continuously sharpen your skills
  • Clear Path to Promotion – top SDRs are first in line when Acquisitions Manager seats open up
  • Supportive Team Environment – work with driven people who celebrate each other's wins and push each other to be better

If you're a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), you have what it takes to lead by example. Maintain and operate the most advanced fleet of ships in the world-along with the crews that support them. Your team of Sailors will look to you for guidance, so you'll need to become an expert on everything from engineering to combat systems to navigation. Communicate your mission and goals with your crew to ensure everything is smooth sailing. If you see yourself commanding a Naval ship as a Captain one day, this is the role that will get you there.

What to Expect

Surface Warfare Officer

More Information

Responsibilities

Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) are involved in virtually every aspect of Navy missions. As a SWO, you may be in charge of any number of shipboard operations and activities while at sea, working with or within any of these specialized forces:

Aircraft Carrier Forces: Provide and coordinate air, submarine and surface ship defense for aircraft carriers.

Cruiser-Destroyer Forces: Provide ship attack and defensive measures with a wide array of missile and fire power capabilities, providing anti-air, -submarine and -surface warfare support.

Amphibious Forces: Embark and transport vehicles, equipment and personnel for amphibious assault operations.

Combat-Logistics Forces: Provide combatant ships with fuel, ammunition, food and supplies, and provide repair, maintenance and rescue capabilities through Fleet Support Ships.

Mine Warfare Forces: Detect, identify and neutralize threats from hostile use of maritime mines.

You may also be interested in becoming a Surface Warfare Officer within the prestigious Navy Nuclear community where you will have the opportunity to work on some of the world's most powerful nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers.

Work Environment

As a Surface Warfare Officer, you will work at sea and on shore, in a variety of environments. Sea duty could place you aboard ships within the fleet. Shore duty may involve a tour of duty at the Pentagon, a student assignment at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, or command and management positions at shore bases and stations around the world.

Training & Advancement

Those pursuing an Information Professional Officer position are required to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Newport, RI.

Unless they have already been commissioned through the Naval Academy or ROTC, those pursuing a Surface Warfare Officer position are required to attend Officer Candidate School. Newly commissioned SWOs can expect an advanced training process that includes comprehensive training at sea and ashore.

Newly commissioned Surface Warfare Officers will be assigned to a surface ship, leading a team of Sailors responsible for a component of the ship - anything from electronics to weapons to engineering systems. In this setting, Officers are working toward full Surface Warfare qualification.

After completing these initial sea tours, Surface Warfare Officers may be selected to serve on high-level staffs, commands or strategic projects or they may be selected to work in recruitment. The ultimate goal for many: to one day command their own ship.

Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.

Post-Service Opportunities

Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector.

Education Opportunities

Wherever you are in your professional career, the Navy can help ease your financial burdens and advance your career with generous financial assistance and continuing education programs. Beyond professional credentials and certifications, Surface Warfare Officers can advance their education by:

  • Pursuing opportunities at institutions such as Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) or Navy War College (NWC)
  • Completing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at one of the various service colleges


Qualifications & Requirements

A degree from a four-year college or university is a minimum educational requirement to become a Commissioned Officer.

There are different ways to become a SWO. If you're a high school student or an undergraduate, you can enter through the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) or through the U.S. Naval Academy. Those already having a degree attend Officer Candidate School (OCS), a 12-week Navy school in Newport, RI.

All candidates must also be U.S. Citizens.

General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've never served before.

Part-Time Opportunities

There are part-time opportunities available as a Surface Warfare Officer.

Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Surface Warfare Officers in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.

For annual training, Surface Warfare Officers may serve anywhere in the world, whether on a ship at sea or at bases and installations on shore.

Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors.

Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.

Surface Warfare Officers in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must first be met.

For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET): Prior experience satisfies the initial leadership training requirement - so you will not need to go through Officer Training again.

Officers who previously held a commission in another United States Military Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service, or United States Coast Guard are exempt from attending ODS or LDO/CWO Academy.
