We’re REA

REA Group is one of the great Australian start-up success stories. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business specialising in property.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We take care of each other, and we invest in our culture. At REA, you’ll find the space to create and the people to inspire – all driven by a strong desire to make a difference and change the way the world experiences property.

Where the team fits in

The Relationship Manager works in a cross functional team known as a HIVE which consists of members who manage Specialist Sales, Success and Support.

To our customers, you are their trusted advisor that facilitates connection with the right team at the right time to help their business thrive. To the wider Sales team, you are the person that skilfully brings them in on an opportunity at the right moment.

You feel like you are winning when our customers are happy as you’re handing over quality leads to the right people at the right time.

When you join the Sales team within the Customer Group you join a wider group of folk representing product, IT, sales and marketing, supported by PR, communications, HR, finance, legal – all the people you need to create products our consumers love and customers value.

With realestate.com.au being the number one destination for people interested in property in Australia, as you can imagine – the group of legends working on our little red house are very passionate about what they do.
