Remote real estate attorneys handle the legal side of property — purchases and sales, leasing, financing, development, and commercial real estate transactions, including REITs. As a transactional, document-heavy practice built on contracts, title, and due diligence, much of the work translates well to remote arrangements.
Remote real estate roles appear in law firms, in-house at developers and investors, and at REITs and financial institutions, ranging from commercial leasing and acquisitions to real estate finance. Strong candidates combine careful drafting and diligence with knowledge of property and transaction law. Most postings require a JD, active bar admission, and real estate experience. The roles below are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.
Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every real estate attorney role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.
They draft and negotiate purchase, sale, lease, and financing agreements, conduct title and due-diligence review, advise on development and zoning, and support closings for commercial and sometimes residential property. The focus varies from leasing to acquisitions to real estate finance.
Both exist, but a large share of remote real estate attorney roles are commercial — leasing, acquisitions, development, and finance for businesses, investors, and REITs. Residential-focused roles exist too; listings usually indicate the emphasis.
Compensation varies by experience and setting, but remote real estate attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $110,000 to $220,000+ in base salary, often with bonus. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
A REIT (real estate investment trust) is a company that owns or finances income-producing real estate. REITs are major employers of real estate counsel, who handle their acquisitions, leasing, financings, and regulatory compliance — so REIT experience is frequently valued in listings.
Generally yes — it's transactional and document-driven, built on contracts, title, and diligence handled by document and video, which is why many real estate roles are offered remotely. Some closings or local matters may involve occasional in-person steps; the employer will set expectations.
