Full-Time Leasing Consultant

It's a Tuesday afternoon, and there are four prospects booked for tours in the next two hours. One came in through an online lead form this morning, one's been in the CRM for nine days without a response from anyone, and two are walk-ins. That's the rhythm of leasing at a well-run student or multifamily community in Murfreesboro, and it's exactly the environment this role is built for.

What This Role Actually Requires

PeakMade Real Estate is hiring a full-time Leasing Consultant at one of their Murfreesboro communities. This is a front-line sales role with a direct line to occupancy. You're converting leads across phone, email, text, and in-person visits, and the expectation is clear: speed matters. Leads that go cold in the first hour cost occupancy points. The highest-performing consultants here run disciplined multi-touch outreach, they know the pricing and availability matrix cold, and they can pivot a tour on the fly based on what a prospect actually needs.

Day-to-day responsibilities cover the full leasing cycle: generating and nurturing leads, delivering tours that create real urgency, closing leases, processing paperwork accurately, and collecting deposits. You'll maintain CRM records in platforms like Yardi, Entrata, or RealPage, keeping prospect data clean and follow-up cadences on track. When the annual turn comes around, you'll support the make-ready process. Market surveys are part of the job too, so you'll stay sharp on what the competition is offering and how this community stacks up.

Renewals and referrals don't happen by accident. Resident satisfaction starts at the first tour, and the way you handle that initial experience has a downstream effect on retention numbers. Strong consultants here think about the full resident lifecycle, not just the signed lease.

What You'll Need to Compete

• At least one year of sales or leasing experience with measurable conversion results
• Demonstrated follow-up discipline across multiple outreach channels
• Working knowledge of a CRM platform (Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, or similar)
• Comfort working weekends and peak leasing hours
• Strong product knowledge habits, including competitive awareness

What separates the consultants who hit commission targets from those who don't usually comes down to follow-up consistency. Multi-touch outreach isn't a preference here; it's the baseline. If your instinct is to send one email and wait, this role will be a grind. If you track your own conversion rates and adjust your approach when the numbers slip, you'll find real earning potential in the commission structure.

PeakMade offers housing discounts (community-dependent), PTO plus dedicated wellbeing days, 401(k) matching, and structured opportunities for growth into leadership. For consultants with strong closing numbers and an interest in moving into an Assistant Manager or Property Manager track, leasing roles at companies with regional portfolios like this one are a well-worn path to that next step.
