About the Company

Avdoo is a New York City–based real estate development firm focused on acquiring, entitling, and developing residential and mixed-use projects across Manhattan and Brooklyn.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly driven, aggressive, and entrepreneurial Acquisitions Associate to focus exclusively on off-market deal origination. This is not a broker-facing role. This position is about building direct relationships with building owners and sourcing opportunities before they ever reach the market. We are looking for someone who has successfully closed real estate transactions in Manhattan and Brooklyn — not just sourced deals, but helped drive them across the finish line. If you are hungry, competitive, and relentless about finding and closing deals — this is the opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Source off-market acquisition opportunities directly from property owners throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn
• Develop and maintain direct relationships with building owners (not brokers)
• Identify and pursue development sites, conversion opportunities, multifamily assets, distressed situations, and office repositioning opportunities
• Confidently discuss and structure potential joint ventures, recapitalizations, and ground leases directly with building owners
• Drive opportunities from initial outreach through LOI, negotiation, and closing
• Conduct neighborhood-level research to uncover ownership patterns and acquisition angles
• Perform high-level zoning analysis (FAR, bulk, use, air rights, conversion potential)
• Collaborate with the underwriting team to evaluate feasibility and structure transactions
• Present new opportunities weekly to the executive team in acquisition meetings, clearly articulating the opportunity, zoning potential, ownership dynamics, and strategic angle
• Track outreach efforts, pipeline, and owner communications
• Be active in the field — walking neighborhoods, meeting owners, uncovering opportunities before competitors

Qualifications

• 2–5+ years of experience in NYC real estate acquisitions, investment sales, or development
• Demonstrated track record of closing transactions in Manhattan and Brooklyn
• Deep familiarity with prime Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods, including submarkets and development dynamics
• Strong working knowledge of NYC zoning and development potential
• Comfortable analyzing development upside and structuring transactions
• Confident and professional communicating directly with building owners and principals
• Ability to clearly and confidently present opportunities to senior executives
• Persistent, resilient, and comfortable handling rejection
• Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Organized and disciplined in managing outreach and pipeline

Pay range and compensation package

• Base Salary: $75,000 – $100,000 (commensurate with experience)
• Upside: Meaningful commission structure tied directly to deals sourced and closed
• Significant earning potential for high performers

Equal Opportunity Statement

Avdoo is committed to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.

Additional Details
