Corporate real estate is what I call it when I want to sound fancy. Really, it was a call center for a relocation company which was a subsidiary of a large real estate company.
Our department was like a dispatch service, we took calls from customers (of companies we had contracts with) and after a short exposition-heavy conversation we’d refer them to the real estate firms that were under the parent company’s umbrella.
A real estate agent would be automatically assigned and receive our referral. It was free and if they closed with our agent they’d get a kickback (from the referral fee that we took out of the agent’s commission).
I was a supervisor and quit 2 years ago but recently learned that the department was downsized and merged with another because I think they realized 10 people could do the work they had ~60 people doing: 1 director, 3 managers, 7 supervisors, ~40 line workers and ~5 administrative support workers (these last 2 numbers would often fluctuate).
