Job description

Rent Panda is a rental services company that believes everyone can be a landlord. We offer digital tools for the DIY landlord, leasing services for those looking to place tenants and full service property management for passive landlords. We operate across all of Ontario, with amazing regional teams who help landlords...well...landlord.

We operate daily with 5 core values guiding everything we do:

• Treat people like people
• Know your s&*t
• go one step further
• succeed and fail together
• radical honesty is the policy

We are looking for stellar leasing specialists across the province to represent the Rent Panda brand and rent out properties for our clientele in the region. At the moment, we need a strong team member for our Thunder Bay operation, to help find and place quality tenants.

The typical tasks associated with the job are:

• Initial walkthrough of a property with a landlord
• Market rent assessments
• Photography and videography of a home
• Placing a lawn sign and lockbox on site
• Posting the property
• Managing inquiries from interested applicants and pre-screening them prior to showings
• Conducting showings in person
• Processing applications and calling references
• Compiling a short list of top applicants and presenting to the landlord
• Building a lease and lease appendix for the rental (aided by our in house paralegal)
• Conducting move in inspections and key handoff
• Handing off the tenant to the landlord and communicating openly to ensure payment is made

The leasing specialist will be following Rent Panda procedures that have been honed over thousands of leasing jobs, but must be skilled at thinking on their feet, problem solving and professional communication.

Applicants must have their own car to get to properties efficiently and computer for use to post properties, manage inquiries and liaise with landlords. Digital savviness is a bonus. This role will be overseen by the executive team and training will be provided throughout the job.

This role is entrepreneurial in nature and compensation will be provided in the form of commission on every job. All marketing and advertising costs will be covered by Rent Panda, as well as screening costs.

The job is not a traditional workday, as inquiries and showings often happen in the evening and on weekends. This role is right for someone who wants to have flexibility on their hours and be entrepreneurial in their role (very similar to a real estate agent).
