Project Manager, Renovations - Freemodel

Why Freemodel?

Freemodel is a presale home renovation company that helps sellers get their homes to market quicker and sold for more. We are a Series A startup with combined leadership experience from well known fintech and proptech companies such as Zillow, Made, and LendingHome. 

With Freemodel, homeowners don’t pay until the home sells, and the work we do will give them the best chance to maximize their profit with quality improvements completed by project management professionals with remodeling expertise and local market knowledge. 

Our team of renovation professionals who chose to partner with us come from a variety of backgrounds, but what they all have in common is their ability to deliver quality completed renovation projects on time and on budget. We like to refer to the folks in this role as Project Directors, because you’re the director of the project!

What’s in it for you?

Project Directors powered by Freemodel gain access to our network of 80+ brokerage partners across California, Texas, and Florida that turn to Freemodel as their preferred presale renovation partner.

We set the stage for Project Directors to develop business relationships with real estate agents, build a book of trusted subs and vendors, and the ability to accept the number of projects that will work best for you. 

Freemodel is a licensed and insured General Contractor as required in all states we operate in. Subcontractors are vetted and paid by Freemodel and managed by you. Already have a crew? Great, as long as they pass our vetting process, you can work with them!

Requirements

Here’s what we are looking for: 

• Experience in construction, especially residential renovations, and contractor and vendor management.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work with real estate agents, homeowners, and subcontractors at every stage of the project. 
• Project management experience with the ability to execute projects from initial planning, scope of work, architecture and design, permitting, labor, materials procurement, and punch list, to the final walk through.
• Being a General Contractor with a valid local contractor business registration is preferred, but not required.
• Proficiency in project management/productivity software, preferably including Google Workspace and Apple products.
  

You Resonate With:

• You are professional and a self-starter who thrives on being able to command and control your schedule.
• Coordinating concurrent and contingent tasks one after another to get a task done in a timely manner and within budget is your superpower.
• You have lots of industry experience and plenty of professional options; you want a business partner so you aren’t going it alone. 
• You want autonomy to manage your projects, and yet you want support with deal flow, back-office tasks, and financing.
• You enjoy the challenge of putting the pieces of a renovation puzzle together to reach the final goal. 
• Part of your DNA as a contractor and project manager is your innate drive to work hard and complete the tasks you are responsible for with the end goal of having satisfied customers.
• You want opportunities for community with other renovators.
• You are the sort of professional who builds lasting rapport and you do repeat business with your customers. 

Benefits

Benefits of being a Remodeler with Freemodel: 

• Make your services more accessible: our process includes invoice or deferred payment (homeowners can pay out of escrow when they are selling their home) and no minimum income requirement to be approved. 
• Use our software to manage your project expenses with ease.
• Expand your portfolio with Freemodel projects. Our marketing team creates compelling, portfolio-worthy case studies from the projects you complete. 
• Take advantage of PR opportunities and social media spotlights to market your skills and benefit your business. 
• Freemodel prequalifies projects so you don't have to, supports your deal flow, and provides a back-office and financing.
• Project Directors powered by Freemodel have the option to work with the Freemodel-vetted network of licensed, insured subcontractors -- or we can vet your preferred licensed, insured subcontractors.

Compensation Details: This role is a contract position without benefits. Compensation will depend on the number and scope of contracted projects. Project Directors who receive support from Freemodel will be paid 50% of the profit from each renovation project they successfully complete.

Inclusion Statement: At Freemodel, we strongly believe that embracing diverse perspectives will greatly enhance our team, product, and overall business. We make it a top priority to appreciate the inherent value in each individual's distinctive story, background, and perspective. While we recognize the importance of maintaining work-life balance, we are convinced that if we are putting in this much effort, the mission should hold significance, and we should thrive in an environment that fosters continuous learning. We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
