Where People Come First — Residents & Team Members Alike

LIHTC Leasing Consultant

• Location: Richmond, VA | Job Type: Full-Time | Reports To: Property Manager

We are always looking for great LIHTC talent. This is an ongoing search — apply anytime and we’ll be in touch when the right opportunity opens.

The Gig: Your Tax Credit Expertise Wanted

With over 45 years of excellence in the Richmond region, Genesis Properties is always on the lookout for sharp, people-loving LIHTC Leasing Consultants to join our affordable housing communities. If you know your way around tax credit compliance, can guide a qualified applicant through the process with confidence, and genuinely enjoy making a difference in people’s lives — we’d love to connect.

We build our bench with the best. Whether a position is open today or coming soon, we want to know you.

What You’ll Bring to the Table: Skills & Vibe

• The Must-Have: A minimum of 1 year of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) leasing experience is required. No exceptions — this isn’t the role to learn LIHTC on the fly. All applicants may be asked to complete a brief exam to confirm their working knowledge of tax credit regulations.
• Your Vibe: Upbeat, positive, and genuinely passionate about affordable housing. You make every prospect feel welcome from the moment they walk through the door.
• The Skills: You’re a multitasking master who communicates clearly (written and spoken), stays organized under pressure, and keeps things moving in a fast-paced environment.
• Tech Savvy: OneSite experience is a big plus. Comfort with property management software and MS Office will set you up for success.
• Compliance Confident: You understand income certifications, qualifying households, and the paperwork that comes with the territory — and you do it right.

What You’ll Be Doing: Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Leasing Guru: Guide prospects from that first inquiry all the way through move-in — handling applications, income certifications, and LIHTC compliance like the pro you are.
• Resident Champion: Be friendly, dependable face of the community for current residents — answering questions, logging service requests, and keeping the good vibes going.
• Marketing Hustler: Generate traffic and drive move-ins through creative outreach, Craigslist ads, and whatever platforms are working right now. Occupancy is always the goal.
• Detail Keeper: Complete pre-move-in inspections, file accurately, and keep everything buttoned up in the system. In LIHTC, the details matter.
• Office All-Star: Answer phones, assist with office tasks, and support the Property Manager to keep operations running smoothly.

The Perks & Culture

• Competitive Pay: Starting at $18.00/hr DOE + bonus structure.
• Solid Benefits: Multiple Health and Dental plan options. Vision, Life & Short-Term Disability are 100% company-paid. Optional AFLAC plans available too.
• Invest in You: 401(k) with company match to help you build your financial future.
• Life-Work Balance: Paid Time Off, paid holidays, and flexible summer hours.
• Good Vibes: The FUN Committee hosts quarterly events to keep the team connected and energized.
• Referral Bonus: Earn extra cash for bringing people on board.
• Casual Fridays: Jeans are always welcome on Fridays.
