  • Respond promptly to in-person, phone, and email inquiries, providing detailed information and scheduling property tours.
  • Accurately explain lease terms, community policies, and any unique aspects of coliving to potential and current residents.
• Customer Service & Community Engagement:
  • Foster positive relationships with incoming residents by addressing their needs and concerns in a timely and professional manner.
  • Uphold ethical standards, fair housing regulations, and company policies in all leasing activities.
• Collaboration & Reporting:
  • Work closely with the property manager and other team members to achieve leasing goals and maintain property standards.
  • Assist in preparing weekly, monthly, and special reports on leasing activities and occupancy rates.
  • Participate in property marketing events and outreach programs to maximize property visibility and appeal.

Compensation:

• Weekly Stipend: You'll receive a competitive weekly stipend throughout the lease-up period.

• Fixed-Term Role: This is a full-time position that will last until the building reaches stabilized occupancy, offering an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-impact project.
• On-Site Living: To enhance your engagement with the community and support your role, we strongly prefer that you live in one of the units on-site during the lease-up period.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in leasing, property management, or a related field, preferably in coliving or flexible living environments.
• Be available to work weekends occasionally, as leasing activity often peaks during these times.
• Strong understanding of the local rental market, fair housing laws, and industry best practices.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and customer service skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet leasing goals.
• A proactive and enthusiastic approach to community building and resident engagement.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives.
