Job description

As a Leasing Manager, you'll lead leasing efforts and administrative functions to ensure the property thrives at its highest potential. You'll act as a mentor and motivator for the leasing team, fostering collaboration and empowering success, while ensuring an exceptional experience for current and future residents. This full-time, non-exempt position reports to the Property Manager.

Where You'll Work:

The all-in student needs more than a quiet corner. The Prospect was designed around the real rhythm of student life: the late-night push before finals, the mental reset between back-to-back lectures, the tailgate you earned after a week of grinding. Dedicated study lounges, quiet zones, and intentional social spaces give you the range to go hard academically and still feel human doing it. This is a home base that works as hard as you do.

What You'll Own:

• Participate in and drive all aspects of the leasing process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and effectiveness:
  • Enter and manage leads in Entrata, ensuring timely follow-ups.
  • Welcome and engage prospects, providing tours that highlight the property's key features.
  • Effectively close the sale by addressing objections, highlighting benefits, and confidently guiding prospects through the leasing decision.
  • Guide prospects through the application and lease process, ensuring proper execution of leases and adherence to screening procedures.
  • Monitor and participate in resident renewal efforts.
  • Maintain clubhouse, model units, and tour routes to exceptional standards of cleanliness and appeal.
• Achieve both individual and team leasing goals, proactively identifying opportunities and addressing challenges in collaboration with the Property Manager.
• Stay informed of market trends and competitors by shopping the competition and keeping detailed records of market offerings.
• Cultivate a deep understanding of the property's selling points, common objections, leasing trends, traffic patterns, and unit availability to position it effectively in the market.
• Mentor and support the leasing team by setting clear expectations, offering guidance, and providing resources to achieve success.
• Foster superior service by addressing escalated resident concerns with professionalism and care.
• Coordinate and participate in marketing initiatives and resident events to attract prospects and retain residents.
• Assist in the preparation of weekly and monthly reports, contributing to the property’s overall performance and success.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What You'll Bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor's degree preferred.
• Willingness to obtain all licenses and/or certifications required by State or Local jurisdictions including but not limited to PA, IL, NJ and IA.
• Proven leasing and sales experience; experience in multifamily or student housing preferred.
• Familiarity with property management software such as Entrata, OneSite, or RealPage preferred.
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including formulas, sorting, and filtering, is a plus.
• Ability to participate in emergency duties as needed.
