This is One Cool Career! Yesterday you built your foundation. Today you step into opportunity. Tomorrow you’ll be working alongside business owners, developers, investors, and decision-makers shaping our communities. If you are interested in a career that will challenge you, reward your initiative, and give you the opportunity to build something of your own… this is it.

A career in commercial real estate brokerage is one that many people don’t initially consider—but once discovered, it quickly becomes exciting, dynamic, entrepreneurial, and highly rewarding. It is a career where your growth is directly tied to your ambition, your effort, and your ability to build meaningful relationships. This is not just a sales role. It is a professional advisory career.

You will develop a broad skill set that includes building relationships and advising clients, analyzing markets and understanding financial fundamentals, negotiating and structuring deals, thinking strategically to solve complex problems, and executing effective marketing and business development initiatives.

From our office in Halifax, your work will take you across Nova Scotia, engaging with a wide range of clients and properties. You will experience a strong balance between office work, field activity, and client interaction. Our environment is professional, supportive, and collaborative—with a strong emphasis on mentorship, teamwork, and long-term success. We invest in our people and provide the tools, systems, and platform needed to build a successful career. Check our web sites www.turnerdrake.com and www.turnerdrake.ca for a more detailed look at us.

Skills and Qualifications You are interested in obtaining a Real Estate Salesperson license in Nova Scotia. You have completed (or are completing) an undergraduate degree—preferably in Commerce, Business, or a related field. You have a genuine interest in people and enjoy building relationships, and you are both a strong communicator and an active listener. You are comfortable engaging with a wide range of individuals, from peers to senior business leaders, and you bring a motivated, self-driven, and entrepreneurial mindset to your work.

You enjoy solving problems and creating value for clients, and you are looking to build a long-term career rather than simply take on a job. You thrive in a team-oriented, collaborative environment, while also demonstrating attention to detail, trustworthiness, energy, and reliability. You have an enquiring mind and a sense of humour. Previous experience in real estate, sales, or business development is an asset, but not required. Training & Development We offer a structured and well-coordinated development program that combines company-supported formal education through the University of British Columbia’s real estate program, in-house training focused on brokerage fundamentals, market knowledge, and client engagement, and hands-on, on-the-job experience under the guidance of experienced mentors. This integrated approach is designed to accelerate your learning while building a strong foundation for long-term success.

From an early stage, you will be given the opportunity to take on meaningful responsibility, working on real assignments from start to finish within your first few months. As your knowledge and experience grow, your level of responsibility will increase accordingly, with ongoing support and mentorship along the way.

While your primary focus will be within our Brokerage Division, you will also gain exposure to our broader service platform, providing you with a comprehensive and well-rounded understanding of the commercial real estate industry.

Why This Career? This is a career where your earning potential is tied to your performance, where no two days are the same, and where you focus on building long-term relationships rather than simply completing transactions. You will operate as both a professional advisor and an entrepreneur, with your success ultimately limited only by your ambition.
