Mid-level Real Estate Associate (Denver, CO)

What we're looking for?

We need a transactional real estate associate with 3-5 years of experience who has run commercial real estate deals from structuring through closing and post-closing. You should be comfortable owning acquisitions, dispositions and financings in a busy, deal-driven Denver practice, and you should be able to describe your work in specific, concrete terms. Colorado bar admission is required (the only exception is admission expected within about a month). Bonus points for land use experience, which makes up a fair amount of this office's work, and for an entrepreneurial background at a smaller or boutique firm.

What you'll do

• Handle commercial real estate transactions at every stage, including acquisitions, dispositions and financings, from LOI and deal structuring through closing
• Take ownership of due diligence, including title and survey review and resolving title objections, so deals close on time
• Draft and negotiate term sheets, purchase and sale agreements and related transaction documents
• Get governmental, lender and third-party approvals, including land use matters, which make up a meaningful part of the Denver practice
• Work closely with hiring partners Benjamin Maresca and Rick Rubin and the wider national real estate group to serve the firm's middle-market clients
• Manage closings and post-closing agreements, and help build client relationships with support from the firm's business development resources

Must-haves: 3-5 years of real estate transactional experience; Colorado bar admission; end-to-end deal experience; current US work authorization (no sponsorship); a steady tenure history.

Nice-to-haves: Colorado-specific experience (local title companies, recording requirements, transfer tax); real estate finance and lending; commercial leasing; zoning; 1031 exchanges; joint venture structuring.

Compensation: $225,000-$245,000 base salary. Pay is merit-based, not lockstep. Hours bonuses are paid in 25-hour increments from 1,900 to 2,300 hours, and associates earn 10% fee origination on $10K+ collected in a fiscal year.
