Job Description
Independent Business Development Representative – Real Estate Media
Company:** HomeOptix Inc.
Location:** Hampton Roads, Virginia
Position Type:** Independent Contractor / 1099 Contract
Initial Engagement:** 90-day paid introductory engagement
Schedule:** Flexible; no fixed working hours
Compensation:** $1,000–$2,500+ per month, based on retainer, commissions, and performance incentives
Position Overview
HomeOptix Inc. is seeking an experienced, dependable, and relationship-driven **Independent Business Development Representative** to help expand our client base throughout Hampton Roads and surrounding markets.

Our services include professional real estate photography, aerial media, floor plans, Zillow 3D Home tours, property video, vertical video walkthroughs, virtual staging, image enhancement, property websites, and listing-marketing solutions.
The selected representative will focus on identifying qualified prospects, developing professional relationships, arranging meetings and presentations, generating new client opportunities, and helping HomeOptix build profitable, recurring accounts.

The Independent Business Development Representative will:

• Develop new relationships within the Hampton Roads business and real estate communities

• Conduct or coordinate professional sales presentations
• Clearly explain the value of HomeOptix services
• Identify prospective clients’ photography, video, and property-marketing needs
• Generate trial orders and new-account opportunities
• Follow up consistently with qualified prospects
• Encourage repeat business and long-term client relationships
• Identify opportunities to introduce additional HomeOptix services
• Attend approved real estate and business networking events
• Assist with proposals and larger account-development opportunities
• Maintain accurate records of prospects, meetings, opportunities, and account status
• Provide concise and accurate sales-activity reports
• Represent HomeOptix professionally, accurately, and ethically
Target Clients

• Apartment and multifamily communities
• Property-management companies
• Commercial real estate firms
• Hospitality and vacation-rental businesses
• Senior-living communities
• Interior designers and home-staging companies
• Other organizations requiring professional property media
Compensation
This independent-contractor opportunity includes:
• A **$1,000 monthly market-development retainer** during the initial 90-day engagement
• Uncapped commissions based on eligible collected revenue from approved new accounts
• Additional incentives for developing productive, recurring client relationships
• Potential compensation growth based on measurable sales performance
Expected initial compensation is approximately **$1,000–$2,500 or more per month**, depending on results. Strong performers may exceed this range.
Detailed commission rates, account-eligibility requirements, performance incentives, and payment terms will be provided to qualified candidates during the interview process.
