What is a Leasing Manager at AVE?
Leasing Managers at AVE are seasoned sales professionals that play a hands-on role in driving results for their community's leasing program. They take full ownership for all activities related to our luxury apartment rentals, including leasing, move-ins, and renewals. Successful Leasing Managers enjoy building relationships with prospects and residents to learn about their needs and exceed their expectations. They have extremely strong follow-up skills and are passionate about selling the AVE lifestyle and closing leases!
Successful Leasing Managers meet and exceed leasing goals and provide a high level of service to our prospects and residents. They own their geographic territory, nothing happens in their towns without them knowing first. They generate new business opportunities through outreach efforts and cultivating relationships with Realtors, insurance agents, local chambers, area corporations, neighborhood businesses, and having a strong presence at both community and professional events.
