Single-Family Rental / Build-to-Rent Executive Search
Single-family rental and build-to-rent platforms bring together housing operations, scattered-site service delivery and, for new communities, development and lease-up. The right leader depends on how homes are acquired, built, managed and maintained. Cory Executive Recruiting supports SFR and BTR leadership searches for owners, operators and developers, aligning the brief with the platform’s footprint and stage of growth.

Our searches are senior-led and confidential, our slates are vetted rather than volume-sourced, and our placements are backed by a replacement guarantee.
