Job description

About MoveSmart Rentals

MoveSmart Rentals is a rental platform and leasing-services company helping property owners market and lease residential properties across Ontario.

About The Role

MoveSmart Rentals is hiring a Leasing Agent to conduct residential property showings and convert interested prospects into offers. This is a field-based, sales-focused role. You will travel between properties, prepare them for showings, meet prospective tenants, present properties, handle objections, and help interested prospects move forward. We are looking for someone with strong sales and closing instincts, not simply someone who can conduct a tour.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct residential property showings across your assigned territory.
• Prepare properties before scheduled showings.
• Present properties professionally and understand what matters most to each prospect.
• Handle objections involving price, property features, and competing rentals.
• Convert interested prospects into completed offers.
• Assist prospects with submitting offers through our technology when needed.
• Follow up with prospects throughout the leasing process.
• Manage multiple properties and appointments throughout the day.
• Identify and report issues discovered at properties.
• Take high-quality property photos and short videos.
• Assist with rental marketing through Facebook Marketplace and other digital platforms.
• Maintain accurate showing and prospect information within company systems.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of relevant experience in residential leasing, real estate, property management, or commission-based sales.
• 3+ years of residential leasing or real estate sales experience preferred.
• Experience with single-family homes, townhomes, and individually owned condos is strongly preferred.
• Strong sales, objection-handling, and closing skills.
• Confident asking interested prospects to take the next step.
• Comfortable working independently and making decisions in the field.
• Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills.
• Comfortable using smartphones, apps, social media, and digital leasing tools.
• Experience with Facebook Marketplace, property photography, and short-form video is an asset.
• Reliable vehicle required.
• Flexible availability, including evenings and weekends based on showing demand.

Compensation

We offer two compensation structures:

Base + Commission

C$65,000–C$80,000 annual base salary plus performance-based commission, depending on performance.

100% Commission – Uncapped Earning Potential

A performance-driven option for Leasing Agents who want their income directly tied to their results. There is no cap on earning potential, allowing high-performing agents to earn significantly more as their leasing volume increases.

Who Will Succeed

You will likely succeed in this role if you are competitive, personable, resourceful, comfortable working independently, and genuinely enjoy sales and closing. You understand that a successful showing doesn't end with walking someone through a property. You know how to recognize buying signals, overcome hesitation, ask for the business, and make it easy for an interested prospect to move forward.
