We are looking for an energetic, polished, and highly motivated Showing & Leasing Sales Representative to join our team on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

We are looking for someone who loves sales, enjoys working with people, understands how to present a property, and knows how to move a prospect from a showing to a signed lease.

This is not just a showing position. We want a true salesperson and closer who can create excitement around the property, understand the prospect’s needs, overcome objections, follow up consistently, and convert qualified leads into residents.

The Right Candidate

You should enjoy the sales process.

You should be someone who sees a prospect walk into the building and immediately starts thinking about how to understand what they want, match them with the right apartment, create urgency, follow up, and close the lease.

We want someone who is competitive, personable, responsive, organized, and excited about helping build a successful luxury residential property.
