The Role

Are you ready to be a part of an extraordinary leasing team and revolutionize the apartment living experience? At Vivmark Residential, we don't just manage properties; we pioneer exceptional living experiences. If you're an accomplished office professional with a passion for innovation and a vision for excellence, your next career move is here.

Join us in redefining what it means to live in style and comfort – the future of apartment management starts here! As a Leasing Consultant you will be the driving force in helping residents find the best place to call home. Your creative and thoughtful tours will be customized to individual tastes, from recommending the perfect floorplan to outlining the best new neighborhood restaurants. You know what makes people tick, and follow through on every lead to ensure that our prospective residents know you care. With weekends being the most high‑traffic time for future residents to explore their home options, Saturday availability is required.

• Follow-through. By understanding what’s important to our prospective residents, you continuously reach out with tailored updates - from the ideal floorplan they’ve been eyeing, to the newest hot‑spot openings, to the best food truck in the neighborhood – you help to paint a picture of what it’s like to call your community home.
• A genuine desire to help both residents and colleagues in Creating a Better Way to Live.

You Have

• A high school diploma or equivalent (GED) required.
• 1-2 years of experience in a leasing or customer service role, preferably in the real estate or property management industry.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Proficiency in using property management software and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Knowledge of fair housing laws and regulations.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Excellent organizational and multitasking abilities.
