What should you use this salary edition for?
Real Estate Headhunters builds this edition for employers deciding what a real estate opening should pay. It gives you a documented starting point for a budget discussion. Bring the actual duties to that discussion. A leasing hire with responsibility for renewals is not automatically the same opening as a sales hire who spends the day booking appointments.
Use the public role pages to inspect the occupation behind a figure before requesting an export. The download is a working document, not a second source of pay estimates. Its tables come from the same BLS records shown on screen. Saving the edition does not make a broad occupation more precise than the underlying survey allows.
Keep the mapping note beside the number when you share it with an owner or finance colleague. If the occupation includes jobs outside property management, that matters to the decision. You should not remove the caveat and present the figure as a survey of your exact title.
How should you read the tables before setting a budget?
Start with the reference period, occupation and area. Then check whether the table uses annual or hourly pay. Some occupations have only one published pay basis. A blank or suppressed cell is not permission to fill a gap from a nearby title. It means the requested estimate was not published.
Percentile bands describe the distribution of wages for the surveyed occupation. They are not labels for junior, experienced and senior candidates. Where BLS reports a top-coded value, the figure is a lower bound. The printed note remains part of the table because a precise upper wage is not available.
After reviewing the table, write down the package your opening actually offers. Keep discretionary bonus, overtime and benefits separate from the BLS wage definition. For a maintenance opening, explain the on-call arrangement. For leasing, explain how incentive pay works. Those details belong in the hiring conversation even when they are not reported separately by BLS.
What happens when you request an export?
A work email is required for saved reports and exports. Public tables and tool results stay available without an email. An accepted request gives you access to the file on screen. Use the source line and methodology page if someone reviewing the document asks where a figure came from.
A download request is not an instruction to start a campaign. Release-alert interest is stored only. If you want help with a live vacancy, send the role separately and explain what the person will own. The recruiting discussion starts with the work and the package, not a claim that a salary table can predict who will accept.

NAA CAM means Certified Apartment Manager. Florida CAM is the community association manager license, an example of state licensing where required. In accounting titles, CAM means common area maintenance. These are not interchangeable.

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.
- 1
Search Calibration
A brief that settles the operating problem, reporting line, location, compensation and who can approve the hire.
- 2
Market Mapping
A view of relevant working backgrounds, asset types and experience rather than a search based only on titles.
- 3
Professional Contact Intelligence
Direct ways to approach relevant people respectfully, without relying on applications or exposing a confidential vacancy.
- 4
Persistent Personalized Outreach
A conversation about your actual role, with follow-up that establishes whether a move is worth discussing.
- 5
Live Candidate Qualification
Evidence about responsibilities, relevant results, systems and the practical reasons someone would accept the move.
- 6
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
A short list with context for interviews, objections and decisions, not a stack of unexplained resumes.
What else should you ask before starting this search?
Can I inspect the figures before giving you an email?
Yes. The role tables and calculator results are public. A work email is required when you request an export or saved report.
Does downloading the edition start an email campaign?
No. We do not enroll download requests in Loxo campaigns or automated follow-ups. Release-alert interest is recorded without automated sends.
Does the edition show separate pay for every seniority level?
Only where BLS has a separate occupation. Titles that map to one occupation share its published figures. The mapping note explains that limit.
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.

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.
