The Way We Hire at 6th Ave Homes: Small, Intentional, and Two Open Roles This Summer
Most of the best people on the 6th Ave Homes team didn't come from a job board.
They came from a referral. A friend of a friend. A client who said "hey, you should meet so-and-so." Quiet introductions that turned into some of the most important hires we've ever made. So we're trying that again, out loud this time.
We've got two open roles right now, and the best place to start is with the people who already know us — and the people they know. If you're one of those people, or you can think of one, here's what we're looking for and how we hire.
The Two Open Roles
Real Estate Agents. We're adding a few more agents to the team this year. Fort Worth-based, full-time, deeply engaged with the brokerage's culture and coaching program.
Residential Drafting Designer. A remote, project-based (1099) role with our design team. Heavy Revit work — floor plans, construction drawings, permit-ready sets, and 3D models for renovations, additions, and new builds.
Both are real openings. Both matter to the shape of the team we're building over the next couple of years. More detail on each below.
How We Hire (and Why It's Slower Than Most)
One of our core values at 6th Ave Homes is to keep the team small and intentional. We've never wanted to be the biggest brokerage or contracting firm in Fort Worth. We've wanted to be a great one — built around people who are smart, generous, and genuinely care about doing the work the right way.
Practically, that means we're slow. Selective. We don't hire just to fill seats. When we do bring someone on, it's because they fit something specific — the values, the work, and the way we treat clients and each other.
This approach has costs. Our growth is slower than it could be. We sometimes turn down opportunities we don't have capacity for. The interview process for both of these roles is going to feel more like a series of conversations than a checklist.
It also means we're a team full of people we actually like working with. That matters more to us than the alternative.
If any of that sounds like the kind of place you'd want to work — or the kind of place you'd send someone you love — the specifics on each role are below.
For Real Estate Agents
Most agents run their business alone. Protecting their pipeline. Quietly competing with the agent sitting next to them at the same brokerage. Figuring it out as they go.
That is not how this team works.
Our agents actually want each other to win. They share strategies openly. They show up to each other's open houses on their own time. They jump in on Slack when someone needs help with a tricky transaction. We celebrate each other's wins like they're our own — because they kind of are.
It's not a vibe we manufactured. It's a culture we built — and protected — on purpose. We've even parted ways with good producers who weren't open-handed with the team. The people who are here now actually care about each other, and we're not willing to compromise that for a few extra transaction sides a year.
And we invest in our agents. Hard.
Weekly training. Quarterly deliverables built around your actual business — a personal website, AI training, professional headshots, marketing collateral, social media support, and a photo library with more than 10,000 images. Plus real, hands-on coaching from a brokerage manager whose only job is to help you grow.
If you're tired of being a number at a big brokerage, tired of the cutthroat thing, or tired of being on an island — there might be something here worth talking about

For Residential Drafting Designers
Our design team does a lot of work in Revit — floor plans, construction drawings, permit-ready sets, and 3D models for renovations, additions, and new builds. We're looking for a drafting designer to plug into that work.
It's a remote, project-based role (1099). You'd be working behind the scenes with the design team — taking client feedback and existing home scans and turning them into clean, buildable construction sets that actually work in the field.
If you're highly proficient in Revit (or know someone who is), have a background in residential or interior design, and prefer focused work over client meetings, this could be a great fit.
You don't have to be in Fort Worth. You do have to be excellent at what you do.

The Easier Way In
If you think you might be a fit for either role, or you know someone who would, the fastest path in is a direct reach-out. The formal application is great and we absolutely want people to use it — but the referral introduction is how we've hired most of our best people, and it always will be.
If that's you, or someone you love, we'd love to hear from you.
