Leasing Consultant (Floating)

Berkshire Residential Investments is looking for a Floating Leasing Consultant to cover communities across New Jersey as staffing needs shift. The base salary runs $43,500 to $50,000, depending on experience.

This is a travel-heavy role. You won't be anchored to one property. Berkshire will move you between communities based on where the leasing team needs coverage, so adaptability isn't optional. You need to walk into an unfamiliar office, get oriented quickly, and start contributing the same day.

The core of the job is leasing. You're working leads, conducting tours, following up, and closing. Berkshire sets a minimum 20% closing ratio as a baseline expectation, so this isn't a role where showing people around counts as success. You're converting traffic into signed leases. Beyond that, you're keeping the leasing office and tour routes in good shape, staying current on local market conditions, and communicating professionally with both prospects and current residents.

The administrative side matters here too. Floating consultants often step into communities mid-process, which means picking up where someone else left off. Clean notes, accurate records, and attention to detail keep things from falling apart during transitions.

What separates a strong floating consultant from an average one is the ability to read a community fast. Every property has its own rhythm: different resident demographics, different competitive pressures, different objections in the leasing office. The consultants who do well in this structure don't need weeks to get comfortable. They ask the right questions on day one and adjust.

What you'll bring

• At least two years of customer service experience, ideally in leasing or a sales environment
• Comfort with technology and the ability to pick up new platforms quickly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel across New Jersey communities

Berkshire owns and manages its own portfolio, so you're working within a single organization rather than a third-party management structure. That tends to mean more consistency in systems and standards across properties, which helps when you're moving between sites regularly.
