If you do not have a background in real estate, private equity, or private credit, that’s okay.  That can be taught.  What cannot be taught is treating others like family; with respect, kindness, and good humor. Staying true to our Core Values, we have created a great culture that feels more like family, and our people remain here for that reason. 

RRA Core Values – Each one of these values is a requirement to be successful at RRA. 

Enjoyable to be around – RRA values employees who are team players, are fun to be around, and have a great sense of humor.  At RRA, there is no room for cynicism, egos, or defensiveness.  Everyone must look and speak professionally so that they bring credibility to both themselves and the company.

Passionate about continuous improvement – RRA values employees that are focused on self-improvement, process improvement, and team improvement.  All members are expected to welcome critical feedback and professional development because they believe it will allow them to become better.  Successful members at RRA are intellectually curious and committed to seeking out opportunities to self-educate on the industry and their jobs.

Smart – RRA values highly intelligent workers that can master the practical applications of their knowledge.  There is no room at RRA for individuals that are ‘academics.’  RRA requires its employees to be highly creative in finding better ways to do things and solve problems.  The RRA team is composed of those who work smarter, not necessarily harder, to maximize efficiency and productivity. 

Reliable – RRA values employees that leave no doubt that when they say they will accomplish something by a certain time/standard, they will.  All members are expected to take pride in the quality of their work; the product of their efforts should always reflect the highest professional standard.  RRA strives to surround itself with self-starters who have a disdain for micro-management.  Successful individuals at RRA have integrity beyond reproach, always exemplify honorable character, and are individuals that others can trust with their money.
