We Know Real Estate

We understand the real estate business, not just how it operates, but who the players are, how their organizations run, who’s getting financing and what deals are in the works. Most importantly, we have long standing relationships with many of the leaders in the real estate field so we can network quickly and discretely to identify and partner with the most coveted candidates in this ultra-competitive market.

Large Retained Search Firm Network with Boutique Service and Client Access

When you partner with Marcus & Associates, you are working with directly with a Partner or Segment Leader on your search so you can trust that candidates will always be speaking with seasoned and knowledgeable recruiters and your company’s message will always be on point.

We have known many of the candidates in our network for their entire career. We know their references, their peers and their staff as well. When you come to us to fill one of your openings, we are reaching out to known and trusted contacts with established networks. We will provide you with key intelligence and insight and help you identify the best fit your team both technically and culturally.

Relationships Matter – High Volume of Repeat Business

At Marcus & Associates, we spend nearly as much time understanding of our clients’ culture, internal dynamics, organizational structure and advancement opportunities as we do the technical aspects of the jobs that we fill. Particularly in the real estate industry, where many companies are family- or PE-owned, and office dynamics can be complicated to navigate, we work to find the right cultural fit so the employee and employer can successfully grow together over the long term.

We do all the screening on our side, allowing you to concentrate solely on evaluating candidates. We take on only the searches we know we have the capacity to fill, guided by our principle that quality always trumps quantity.

VP FP&A

My initial experience with Jacob is unlike any I’ve had with a recruiter. Jacob was thorough; he did his research before reaching out to me, asked very intelligent, pointed questions and within a few weeks got me a great job offer. Jacob is meticulous, smart, and just happens to know everyone who is anyone in the real estate world. Jacob redefined my understanding of a recruiter, because he was so much more. He was a consultant, a mentor, and a diligent advocate on my behalf. I would highly Jacob. He is a true professional in every sense.
