Floating Leasing Specialist

Lease-up velocity is one of the hardest metrics to control in new construction multifamily. You can have a great product and strong market demand, but if you don't have the leasing bandwidth on the ground when traffic peaks, deals walk out the door. Hillpointe built its floating specialist role to solve exactly that problem across its Sun Belt workforce housing portfolio.

Hillpointe develops and manages market-rate workforce housing, and its integrated model means they control everything from land acquisition through construction and asset management. That context matters for this role: the communities you'll support aren't stabilized, third-party managed assets where traffic is predictable. You'll be deployed during lease-ups, high-volume periods, and new community launches where converting traffic to signed leases directly moves occupancy and NOI.

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like

On any given week, you might be covering a lease-up in one submarket while another community is short-staffed during a team transition. Your job is to walk in, get oriented fast, and start converting prospects. That means touring units, tailoring your pitch to what each prospect actually cares about, following up by phone, text, and email, and keeping tour paths and model units presentation-ready. The ability to absorb a new community's features and comps quickly is what separates a strong floating specialist from someone who struggles in this role. You're not just filling a seat. You're expected to perform at the same level as a permanent leasing consultant from day one at each site.

The role requires weekend availability, flexibility to travel between properties, and willingness to relocate temporarily or permanently if the business needs it. Hillpointe offers free rent at an assigned community as part of the compensation package, subject to company policy.

Qualifications Worth Highlighting

• Prior experience in leasing, sales, hospitality, or customer service (multifamily experience is a plus, not a requirement)
• Genuine comfort working with people from varied backgrounds and adapting your communication style accordingly
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently across the portfolio
• Flexible scheduling availability, including weekends and evenings during peak periods
• Valid driver's license and physical ability to tour all property areas, including stairs and outdoor spaces in varying weather
• High school diploma or equivalent

One honest note on what makes someone thrive here versus struggle: floating roles reward people who are energized by new environments, not worn down by them. If you need weeks to get comfortable somewhere before you perform, this structure will work against you. But if you're someone who reads a room fast, builds rapport quickly, and likes the variety of working across multiple communities rather than the same leasing office every day, this role keeps the work interesting and builds a resume that covers far more leasing scenarios than a single-site position ever would.
