Venterra Realty Careers

The Opportunity

As a Leasing Consultant, your primary focus is leasing apartments, generating prospective resident traffic, and creating an exceptional experience from the first interaction through move-in.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, providing excellent customer service, resolving concerns, and working toward sales goals.

• Guide prospects through the application and leasing process while maintaining clear and timely communication.
• Help create a smooth and welcoming move-in experience for new residents.
• Provide responsive and professional customer service to prospective and current residents.
• Listen to resident questions and concerns, remain professional during difficult interactions, and connect residents with the appropriate team member when additional support is needed.
• Maintain accurate prospect information and follow-up notes in the company's leasing, CRM, or property management system.
• Keep the leasing office, model apartment, available homes, and tour route clean, neat, organized, and ready for visitors.
• Work closely with the Community Manager, maintenance team, and other community team members to support the resident experience.
• Follow Fair Housing requirements, leasing procedures, and company policies.
