• Athens, GA CityBlock Properties is a locally owned student housing company in Athens. We own every property we manage, and have done so since 2002. We're heading into pre-lease season and need someone to get our properties in front of UGA students, in person and online, and to turn that interest into showings. This role suits someone who has finished their degree, is staying in Athens for at least the next year, and wants hands‑on marketing and real estate experience they can point to.

What you'll do Marketing and advertising

• Keep ads live and accurate, take them down when a unit is leased, and place and track "For Rent" signage Leads and showings
• Respond to and follow up with leasing inquiries during your shifts
• Schedule and run property showings, including one or two on Saturdays during pre-lease season

Where it can go

You’ll start with marketing and leasing. As you complete our training, you can take on maintenance coordination and tenant services, with pay increases tied to the added responsibility. You’ll work directly with our team lead and the owner, not a corporate hierarchy.

• You’ve finished your undergraduate degree (any field; marketing, business or communications is a plus)
• You’ll be in Athens through at least August 2027, and live within 15 minutes of our properties

• Weekday availability (flexible, including some afternoons) and Saturdays for showings
• Customer service, sales or hospitality experience is a plus. We train thoroughly.
