Position at eXp Realty®

We are one of the first all-remote companies with 2,000+ team members utilizing our virtual office called eXp World. This role is work-from-anywhere in the US.

We are a company that rewards creative minds who can offer bold solutions, where opinions matter, anything is possible and the outcome can be revolutionary. As a global full-service real estate brokerage utilizing a 3-D, fully immersive, cloud office environment, offering 24/7 access to collaborative tools & training, eXp has broken the traditional mold of real estate. We are doing big things.  
Come join us at eXp Realty – a 7x Glassdoor Best Places to Work organization! 
What you will do: 
eXp Realty® is looking for a talented commercial contracts attorney to support the organization in key legal areas. This role principally involves, (1) analyzing the terms and conditions of various contract types; (2) communicating the associated risks, within those contract types, to internal business units; (3) revising relevant contracts to reflect intended deal points and contain risk; and (4) driving contract negotiations through to execution. This role also involves coordinating with various teams, business units, and members of leadership while working remotely.  
The right person for this role will not only be expected to fulfill the foregoing primary responsibilities, but will also be expected to possess and exercise “soft skills;” that is, knowing when and how to educate a business unit; recognizing when different departments may not be in alignment on a particular matter; and attempting to bring relevant parties together to resolve matters. The right person for this role must know when to ask probing questions, when to defer to business units, and when and how to diplomatically “push back” when it serves the best interests of the organization.  The role will require an ability to juggle multiple work tasks in a fast paced environment of innovation, and an ability to pivot tasks based on shifting operational priorities.
How you will grab our attention: 
  • Understanding RESPA, and the real estate brokerage industry
  • Having an approachable personality (no corner-office egos)
  • Possessing an ability to (re)adjust shifting priorities
  • Habitually exercising attention to detail 
  • Possessing an ability to draft new contracts from scratch
  • 5+ years of relevant contracts/transactional (not litigation) experience within a law firm or corporate legal department
  • Experienced in redlining techniques
If situated in the United States:
  • Admitted to, and in good standing with, either a U.S. state bar (in mandatory bar states), or a U.S. state’s applicable court (in non-mandatory bar states) 
If situated outside of the United States:
  • Admitted to, and in good standing with, the applicable authority governing the practice of law in that jurisdiction
  • JD or LLM from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (preferred, but not required)
If you think you’d make a great match for this position but don’t meet all the requirements, we would still encourage you to apply! 
What eXp Realty Provides: 
  • Work from anywhere
  • Flexible Time Off 
  • 401k with 4% match (immediate vesting) 
  • Robust Medical, Dental, & Vision benefits    
  • Company provided equipment   
  • Monthly Technology Stipend  
  • FSA & HSA with employer contributions 
  • Health & Wellness incentives     
  • 100% Paid Parental Leave
