Real Estate And Operations Paralegal (Remote)

About Us

Avenue One is a service platform and marketplace that enables investors to access single-family rental residential assets by connecting an ecosystem of boots-on-the-ground, local partners to institutional capital. We are in the business of partnerships-finding, vetting, and empowering local experts nationwide to broker, find, buy, renovate, lease, manage, and sell properties on behalf of our clients.

We coordinate the efforts of our partners through a proprietary technology stack. This system takes in huge amounts of data at national and local levels, which, combined with information about each individual property, gives us and our partners a competitive advantage in pricing, speed, and scale. The technology is constantly evolving to remain best-in-class, but it will only be as good as our team that drives it, which is where you come in.
