WHAT IS THE PROGRAM
A Direct Path Into Investment Sales
Breaking into commercial real estate investment sales typically means starting from zero—no deal exposure, no context, and a long ramp before you generate income.
The Deal Lead in Residency is designed to change that.
This is a six-month, hands-on role where you work directly alongside a senior leader, supporting live transactions and gaining exposure to how deals actually move—from initial outreach to closing.
Instead of learning in isolation, you operate inside the process. By the time you transition into SkyView’s mentorship program, you understand the expectations, the pace, and the work required to succeed.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for High-Performers
This role is designed for individuals early in their careers who are intentional about building a future in investment sales. It is not experience-driven—it is mindset-driven.
Driven and Competitive
You are motivated by performance and long-term upside. You are willing to take on a role where results—not time—determine progression and income.
Committed to Investment Sales
You are not testing the industry. You have already decided this is the path and are looking for the most direct way to build the skill set required to succeed.
Built for a High-Performance Environment
You are comfortable operating in a fast-paced, unstructured environment where expectations are high and accountability is real. Discipline, resilience, and consistency matter more than prior experience.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Work Inside Real Transactions
You will be embedded in active deals, supporting a senior leader across day-to-day execution. The role is built to give you direct exposure to how transactions actually move—while contributing to the work required to get them done.
Deal Coordination
Manage buyer scheduling and support ongoing communication to keep transactions moving efficiently.
Transaction Support
Assist with financials, deal materials, and day-to-day execution across active deals.
Data & Process Management
Track contacts, update deal activity, and maintain accuracy across internal systems.
Exposure to the Full Lifecycle
Work across multiple live transactions and gain visibility into how deals are sourced, marketed, negotiated, and closed.
WHAT IS EXPECTED
Built for a High-Performance Environment
During the residency, you will support senior dealmakers across active transactions and contribute to the execution required to move deals forward.
This is a fast-paced, detail-oriented role where priorities can shift quickly based on deal activity. You will be expected to stay organized, communicate clearly, and follow through on responsibilities tied directly to live transactions.
The role is designed to give you consistent exposure to how deals operate in real time—while building the habits and discipline required to succeed in a performance-driven environment.
