Associate opportunities · A.H. Tobin LLC

Partner with
A.H. Tobin LLC

We are selectively expanding our associate network. Two structured partnership opportunities are available for motivated, ethical individuals who are serious about building something real in the real estate industry.

Acquisition associate
Business purpose lending associate
One or both — your choice

Limited positions available. Associate openings are offered at select windows of time. Current applications are being reviewed.

We are looking for serious people only

A.H. Tobin LLC is a professional real estate investment organization. The associates we work with represent our company in the marketplace — and that means we are selective about who we bring into our network.

If you are simply curious, this is not the right place for you. If you are looking for a shortcut, a get-rich-quick arrangement, or a way to make money without putting in real effort, this is not the right place for you.

We will not work with anyone who cannot conduct themselves with honesty, professionalism, and integrity in every situation. Our mission is to provide genuine solutions for property sellers and real estate investors. That means no misrepresentations, no misleading statements, no cutting corners, and no taking advantage of anyone — ever.

If you share those values and you are prepared to make a serious, sustained effort, we encourage you to read on. If you do not, we respectfully ask that you not apply.


The structure

How our partnerships work

We offer two distinct associate roles, each with its own structure. You may participate in one or both — that is entirely your choice. Neither role requires prior experience. All necessary tools, resources, and guidance are provided after onboarding.

Acquisition associate

You partner with A.H. Tobin LLC as a joint venture partner on each transaction. The relationship is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding establishing your overall role, and a Deal Confirmation Letter executed on each specific property you bring to us. You are compensated based on actual net profit when a deal closes.

Joint venture partner

Business purpose lending associate

You work with A.H. Tobin LLC as an independent contractor, identifying real estate investors who need business purpose financing and connecting them with our lending resources. Your scope of activity depends on the state in which you operate. Compensation is performance-based and paid on funded transactions.

1099 independent contractor

Sponsorship opportunities available. For qualified candidates who demonstrate commitment and performance, A.H. Tobin LLC offers sponsorship opportunities for those who wish to pursue real estate agent or loan officer licensure in Arizona and California.


Acquisition associate

Finding properties for A.H. Tobin LLC

Joint venture partner · Primary focus: Arizona & California · Other areas considered · Associate may be located anywhere

As an Acquisition Associate, your role is to identify potential real estate acquisition opportunities and bring them to A.H. Tobin LLC. You are the first point of contact — the person in the field finding properties and gathering the information our team needs to evaluate and pursue a deal. You do not negotiate, you do not make offers, and you do not represent anyone. You gather information and open doors. We take it from there.

Our primary acquisition focus is Arizona and California, though we will consider opportunities in other markets. You do not need to be located in those states — associates can operate from anywhere.

What you do

  • Research and identify potential acquisition opportunities
  • Contact listing agents and motivated sellers to gather information
  • Document and report your findings to A.H. Tobin LLC promptly
  • Set appointments for A.H. Tobin LLC to follow up directly
  • Always identify yourself as calling on behalf of A.H. Tobin LLC

What you do not do

  • Negotiate price, terms, or conditions with anyone
  • Make, convey, or imply any offer to purchase
  • Quote or suggest what A.H. Tobin LLC would pay
  • Give an opinion of value on any property
  • Represent yourself as a licensed real estate agent or broker
  • Sign any contract or agreement on behalf of the company
  • Accept, hold, or transmit any funds

Important: These boundaries are not suggestions — they are legal requirements. Crossing them without a real estate license constitutes unlicensed practice of real estate under applicable state law. In some states this is a felony. Our structure and guidelines exist to protect you. Stay within them.


Role two

Business purpose lending associate

Connecting investors with business purpose financing

Restricted states — Limited role

What you gain by partnering with us

You are not working alone

A.H. Tobin LLC and its associates represent a group of licensed real estate agents, licensed loan officers, and active real estate investors with over 20 years of combined experience. When you partner with us, that expertise and credibility stands behind everything you do.

That backing gives you something most independent operators can never offer. Where others can only say "I know a buyer," our associates can bring a real offer on the property and financing options for the investor — in the same conversation. That combination is rare, and it makes you significantly more valuable in every interaction.

Associate roles available

Our associates also benefit from structured written agreements that clearly define their role and protect them legally — something most informal arrangements never provide. You will always know exactly what you can and cannot do, and you will have the paperwork to back it up.


Before you apply

Items for reflection

We ask that you take these questions seriously before submitting your interest. They are not meant to discourage you — they are meant to help you and us determine whether this is the right fit.

Ask yourself honestly

Three questions every serious candidate should be able to answer

1

Are you committed to making the time and effort?

We can provide knowledge, resources, tools, and guidance. What we cannot provide is effort — that is your part of the partnership. The work of identifying properties, making contacts, and developing relationships takes consistent, sustained effort. Associates who succeed are the ones who show up and do the work, week after week. We will encourage you and support you — but we cannot do it for you. If you are not prepared to make a genuine, ongoing commitment, this partnership will not work for either of us.

2

What do you bring to the partnership?

Our participation in this arrangement is clear — we bring experience, credentials, resources, legal structure, deal-making capability, and financing access. The question is: what do you bring? What makes you someone we should work with over others who are also interested? We are not looking for a perfect résumé. We are looking for drive, professionalism, local knowledge, an existing network, communication skills, or a genuine commitment to the work. Think carefully about what you offer and be prepared to tell us.

3

Can you work ethically and with integrity?

Every interaction you have in this role reflects directly on A.H. Tobin LLC and on the people we serve — property sellers navigating difficult situations and investors making significant financial decisions. There is no room in our organization for misrepresentation, exaggeration, pressure tactics, or anything that takes advantage of someone's circumstances. If you cannot commit without reservation to conducting yourself honestly and professionally in every situation — even when it is inconvenient — this is not the right partnership for you.
