Profile: BRE Properties

What's it like to work at BRE?

It's rewarding. More than a real estate firm, BRE is a customer service company that values every associate's contribution to our success.

It's exciting. You're part of a team of highly creative, self-motivated professionals who go the extra mile to treat our customers the way we'd like to be treated ourselves.

It's the opportunity to build the career of a lifetime. As BRE grows, we prefer to promote from the best possible pool of talent we know: our own people.

Time and again, our residents tell us that it's the friendliness, professionalism and responsiveness of the staff that led them to choose a BRE community. From property managing, leasing and maintenance to accounting, IT, administration, and development and acquisitions, we're always looking for talented, experienced professionals who make people their top priority. Sound familiar? If so, we'd like to hear from you.

Our Culture

Our associates play a leading role in BRE's success. And our corporate culture supports them every step of the way.

By setting high standards and treating each other the way we treat our residents, we've created a culture where performance, teamwork, creativity, initiative and integrity are contagious.

We employ service-oriented professionals who understand our residents' expectations, then we give them the autonomy to meet and even exceed those expectations. We recognize and reward associates who share new ideas, communicate well, and inspire others. We provide many paths for career growth through training workshops, conferences and tuition reimbursement. We support one another and share our successes. We put our people first by promoting from within; with no limits to what you can achieve and where you can go
