Leasing Consultant
The Scion GroupWhat You'll Actually Do
At Redpoint Gainesville, the Experience Team Member role sits at the center of daily community life. You're the person prospective residents meet on a tour, the one current residents flag down about a maintenance request, and the face of the community at events. Scion operates in student living, which means the energy here is genuinely different from conventional multifamily. Move-in season and Turn periods hit hard and fast, and your ability to stay organized and upbeat when the leasing office is buzzing matters a lot.
On a typical day, you might conduct apartment tours in the morning, help a resident track down a package, post to the community's social channels, follow up on open maintenance requests, and close out the office before rotating onto after-hours on-call duty. The role blends leasing, marketing, and resident relations into one position, and the mix shifts depending on the time of year. During Turn, expect the pace to intensify significantly as units flip and incoming residents arrive.
You'll also relay real-time feedback to the management team on what's working in sales conversations and where prospects are pushing back. That kind of ground-level input shapes how the community adjusts its messaging and concessions strategy, so your observations carry actual weight.
What You Bring
- Genuine comfort talking with a wide range of people, including students, parents, and community partners
- Strong reliability and self-discipline, especially for on-call responsibilities
- Flexibility when priorities shift quickly, which they will
- Availability during summers, holidays, and Turn periods without exception
- Clear, professional communication across in-person, phone, and social media channels
- A customer-first instinct that doesn't switch off when things get hectic
The Honest Picture
Student housing communities operate on an academic calendar, which creates predictable but intense pressure points. The weeks around move-in and move-out are demanding, and after-hours lockout calls are part of the rotation, not a rarity. If you're someone who finds variety energizing and genuinely enjoys working with a college-age population, those dynamics tend to feel manageable rather than draining.
For candidates thinking about where this role leads: Experience Team Members in student living who develop strong leasing skills and community management instincts often move into assistant community manager or leasing manager positions. The combination of sales, marketing, and operations exposure you get here is transferable well beyond student housing if you ever want to pivot to conventional or mixed-use multifamily later on.
Scion requires that candidates be eligible to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
