• Answer incoming calls and handle each, whether it is a prospective new resident, current resident with a complaint, or service request.
• Utilize established sales and marketing strategies to increase property traffic, maintain closing ratios, and work to achieve and exceed leasing goals.
• Perform various administrative tasks as needed.

What You Need to Get the Job Done:

• High School degree or equivalent.
