What will owners find in these articles?
The articles answer practical hiring questions owners and operators raise during searches: how to judge a regional manager, how to test compliance experience, what a candidate brief should contain. Each one is written from recruiting conversations rather than theory, and none of them asks you to share contact details to read it.
We write when a question comes up often enough that a longer answer helps. A regional search raises questions about span of control and travel. An affordable housing search raises questions about file review and program knowledge. Those become articles so that owners can prepare before the first interview.
The pieces avoid market statistics we cannot source and do not promise outcomes. Where a public source supports a point, we link it. Where the answer depends on your property, we say so and explain what to ask instead.
If you have a hiring question not covered here, send it with your role. It may shape a future article, and you will get a direct answer either way.
How do these articles connect to the rest of the site?
Each article links to the role, property type or hiring situation pages most relevant to its topic. An owner reading about regional hiring can move straight to the regional role description and the situation page on adding a first regional, without searching for them or reading unrelated material first.
That structure lets you start wherever your question begins. Some owners arrive with a title, others with a property problem, others with a process worry. The links are there so each path leads to the same practical detail.
When an article and a role page cover similar ground, the article explains the reasoning and the role page describes the work. Read both before writing a brief.
Articles are dated and revised when guidance or our practice changes. If a point no longer reflects how we work, we update it rather than leave an outdated answer in place for owners to rely on.
Practical notes on real estate hiring.

Read the notes
These articles explain how to define the work before comparing candidates. They are not compensation benchmarks or claims about available candidates.
What should you ask before choosing a recruiting firm?
Are the articles written for job seekers?
No. They are written for owners, operators and hiring managers deciding how to scope, assess and close property hires.
Can we suggest a topic?
Yes. Send it through the contact page or with a role request. Common questions are the ones most likely to become articles.
When do we pay the recruiting fee?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire under the standard contingency agreement. The signed agreement sets the terms; read the fee page before authorizing the search.
How long does it take to see a short list?
The scope of the job, candidate availability and your interview decisions affect the search. We explain the market response and agree next steps rather than promise a numeric deadline.
What if our chosen candidate gets a counteroffer?
We ask about the reasons for a move before an introduction. You still need a clear offer and an honest account of the job; an increase in pay alone may not resolve why someone considered leaving.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
What do you not do?
We do not sell job-board reposting or send an unqualified resume stack. Standard permanent search is not hourly consulting or a retained assignment. Different engagements require agreed terms.
Tell us the role. We go find the person.
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire.
Our process
What do you get from The Six-Step Search?
Real Estate Headhunters begins with the decisions behind your vacancy, not an advert. You get a clear brief, a mapped candidate pool and evidence from direct conversations. We help you distinguish an interested person from a qualified fit, then support interviews and the decision without promising a completion date.

CAM has different meanings. NAA CAM is the Certified Apartment Manager credential. The Florida community association manager license is a separate license, cited here as an example of state licensing. In commercial budgets, CAM means common area maintenance. We check the credential or license relevant to the opening, where the state requires it.
