What are the responsibilities and job description for the Leasing Consultant – Apartment Community position at E & E Capital Management, LLC?
Base pay above the Birmingham market — and commission on top of it.
Most leasing postings around Birmingham run $17 to $19 an hour, base only. We go to $22, and we pay a commission on every lease you sign.
We'd rather keep a good consultant than retrain a new one every eight months, and paying properly is the cheapest way to do that.
You'll be the first person a prospect meets at The Park at Sunderland, a 268-unit community in Birmingham, and the person a resident comes to when they're deciding whether to renew. Both matter more to this business than almost anything else we do.
What we pay and provide
- $18.00 – $22.00/hour base, paid regardless of leasing volume
- Commission on signed leases
- Medical insurance
- 14 days paid time off plus paid holidays
- Rent discount on-site
Schedule
Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM, with [choose one: rotating / weekly / peak-season] Saturday coverage.
What you'll do
Leasing — where your commission comes from
- Tour prospective residents and follow up until they sign. This is a sales seat; closing is the job
- Respond to calls, emails, and online inquiries fast—response speed drives conversion more than anything else you'll do
- Process applications, verify income and rental history, prepare lease paperwork accurately
- Keep the tour path, model unit, and leasing office showing well
Residents
- Manage move-ins and make the first week smooth
- Drive renewals throughout the year, not just at the 60-day mark
- Take resident concerns seriously and route maintenance requests promptly
- Plan and run resident events
Market and reporting
- Track traffic, conversion, and closing ratios; report weekly
- Run market surveys on comparable communities and flag pricing shifts
- Support listings, photos, and social content
- Apply fair housing standards consistently in every interaction, without exception
What you need
- 2 years in leasing, retail, hospitality, or another customer-facing sales role
- Comfort asking for the close—friendly isn't enough on its own
- Strong written and verbal communication; professional presence on the phone and in person
- Organized enough to run a pipeline without losing anyone
- High school diploma or GED
Nice to have
- Prior multifamily leasing experience
- Property management software (Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, Resman, OneSite, or RentCafe)
- Bilingual English/Spanish

To apply
