A Bit About Us

At Placemakr, home meets hospitality. We’ve combined the best of apartment living, vacation rentals, and hotel stays into one experience. We partner with developers, property operators, and investors to curate a collection of apartment-like spaces in hand-picked neighborhoods. Our tech-enabled buildings create one-of-a-kind guest experiences and add tremendous value to the underlying real estate. Whether guests are with us for a night, a year, or somewhere in between, these are more than just spaces to spend the night — they’re a place to call home.

Our Property Team and Work Environment

Our property team members help our buildings thrive by focusing on execution and ensuring a great experience for both residents and guests. Our non-property team members support property execution and the evolution of other areas within our platform. They can enjoy remote-first work with the freedom to choose their location — as long as they have access to a workspace and reliable Wi-Fi. We believe collaboration is key, so our remote-first teams and property leaders have biannual in-person get-togethers at various locations across the US.

The Impact You'll Have

As a Leasing Agent, you will play a pivotal role in delighting our residents throughout their journey, making them feel valued and supported from their first tour to their move-in day and beyond. You will embody our Community Norms and build strong rapport with everyone you meet, guiding prospective residents with professionalism, expertise, and the Placemakr personal touch. You will be an integral member of our on-site Property Team, demonstrating that making a positive impact on our resident’s journey is at the core of our operation.

This is a full-time position requiring availability during weekdays, weekends, evenings, and holidays on a rotational basis.

Our Benefits & Perks

• Competitive pay, stock options, and a monthly bonus of up to $500
• Flexible scheduling, including 3- and 4-day full-time work weeks, location-dependent
• Exclusive Placemakr-branded swag through our Placemakr Stars Program
