Full-Time Leasing Consultant

A prospect submits an inquiry at 9 a.m. By 9:15, you've called, sent a follow-up email, and booked a tour for Thursday. That kind of speed is the baseline here, not the exception.

PeakMade Real Estate is hiring a full-time Leasing Consultant for a community in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This is a front-line sales role. You'll own the leasing pipeline from first contact to signed lease, and you'll be expected to hit occupancy targets consistently.

What the Job Covers

Most of your day runs through lead conversion. You'll field inquiries by phone, email, and online platforms, then guide prospects through tours tailored to what they actually need. The goal is to create urgency and close. You'll track every lead in the CRM, execute multi-touch follow-up, and monitor pricing, availability, and competitor positioning so your conversations stay sharp.

Beyond leasing, you'll handle lease paperwork accurately, collect deposits, and support move-in and move-out events. You'll also pitch in on the annual turn process, help keep the model and office presentation ready, and assist with market surveys when needed. Weekends and peak leasing hours are part of the schedule.

What You Need to Bring

• At least one year of sales or leasing experience with measurable conversion results
• Comfort working in Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, or a comparable CRM
• Documented follow-up discipline: calls, emails, texts across multiple touchpoints
• Ability to work weekends and adjust to peak leasing demand

The pay range is $20 to $24 per hour, and the role is commission-eligible. Benefits include PTO, wellbeing days, a 401(k) match, wellness programs, and housing discounts that vary by community.

One thing that separates strong candidates in student and young professional markets like New Brunswick: the ability to read a prospect quickly and adjust your pitch on the spot. Generic tour scripts don't close here. Consultants who ask good questions, listen, and connect the apartment to what the prospect actually said they need will convert at a higher rate than those who rely on memorized talking points alone.
