About New Urban Residential

New Urban Residential is a vertically integrated multifamily owner and operator with offices in Raleigh and Charlotte. We own and manage apartment communities across North Carolina and our onsite teams handle leasing, resident service, and maintenance in house.

About the role

You will lease two New Urban Residential communities in Raleigh: Capital Flats and Magnolia Square, an 85 home boutique community of one bedroom apartments downtown, and Trails Corner, a 57 home community of two and three bedroom apartments on McMakin Street. As their Leasing Consultant, you are the first person a prospective resident meets. You work with each prospect from first inquiry through move in: the tour, the application, the lease, and the follow up after they get their keys. You report to the Community Manager. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

What you will do

• Respond to phone, email, and online leasing inquiries promptly, and follow up with every prospect on the community follow up schedule
• Tour prospects through available apartment homes and amenities, and explain the lease and all addenda clearly
• Meet the leasing, closing, and traffic conversion goals set by the Community Manager
• Take applications, collect fees and deposits (we do not accept cash), and submit every application for screening
• Prepare leases, addenda, and move in packets, and confirm each apartment is inspected and released before keys are issued
• Keep prospect, application, and lease data current in Yardi
• Shop competing communities and stay current on their rents, concessions, and availability
• Support renewals, resident events, online reviews, and outreach to local employers and businesses
• Enter maintenance requests and keep the leasing office, model, and tour path in show condition

Fair housing

We comply with the federal Fair Housing Act, the North Carolina Fair Housing Act, and all state and local fair housing laws. Our Leasing Consultants apply the same published qualifying standards to every applicant, show every prospect all available homes, and complete all assigned fair housing training.

What you bring

• At least one year in leasing, sales, hospitality, retail, or another customer facing role
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication
• Comfort with email, word processing, and property management or customer relationship management software
• Basic math to calculate prorated rent, concessions, and deposits
• Availability to work weekends
• A valid driver license, a satisfactory driving record, and reliable transportation for market surveys and outreach
• Ability to pass a background check

Preferred

• Multifamily leasing experience
• Yardi experience
• National Apartment Leasing Professional or Certified Apartment Leasing Professional designation
• Conversational Spanish

Schedule

Full time, 40 hours per week over five days, split between the two communities on a schedule set by the Community Manager. Weekend shifts are required, since weekends are our busiest leasing days. Extended hours may be needed during peak leasing season, at month end, and during lease up or heavy turnover.

Physical requirements

Touring means walking the community, climbing stairs, and working outdoors in all weather. You will occasionally lift up to 25 pounds, frequently up to 15 pounds, and spend extended periods at a computer. You will also drive for market surveys and outreach. Reasonable accommodation is available for individuals with disabilities.

Pay and benefits

• $20.00 to $23.00 per hour, based on experience
• Leasing and renewal commissions
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Retirement plan with company match
• Housing discount at New Urban Residential communities
