Full-time, on-site Compensation: hourly rate and commission.

University Edge & Dickinson Lofts is a student-focused community in the heart of Greenville, North Carolina — the “Emerald City” — serving East Carolina University’s 27,000+ students. Located steps from ECU’s campus at 550 Pitt-Greene Connector, the community features fully furnished studio, one-, two-, and four-bedroom floor plans, a private bathroom in every bedroom, a heated pool and sundeck, a clubhouse with fitness center and game room, and study space with a computer lab.

We’re one of the top choices in the Greenville student market — and the Leasing Agent is the face of it. If you love people, thrive on hitting goals, and want to be at the center of a high-energy pre-leasing season, this is your role.

As a Leasing Agent, you’re the first point of contact for prospective residents and their families — from the moment they inquire to the day they sign. You’ll give tours, follow up on leads, close leases, and help drive the property to 100% occupancy on the academic-year calendar. This is a sales-and-service role built for someone outgoing, organized, and motivated by targets, with plenty of room to grow into leadership.

• Greet prospects, conduct property tours, and confidently sell the community’s floor plans, amenities, and location to students and parents.
• Follow up on leads by phone, text, email, and CRM in a timely, persistent, and professional way.
• Close leases and hit individual and team leasing goals, especially through the high-intensity pre-leasing season.
• Accurately complete lease paperwork, applications, guarantor forms, and roommate-matching details for by-the-bed, individual liability leases.
• Support renewal campaigns to keep current residents in the community year over year.

• Help execute the property’s marketing plan through campus outreach, on-campus events, social media, referrals, and listing sites tied to the ECU calendar.
• Represent the community at tabling events, housing fairs, and student organization partnerships.
• Contribute ideas and content for social media and resident events that keep the property visible to a student audience.

• Deliver a service-first experience, answering questions and resolving concerns for residents, parents, and guarantors.
• Maintain accurate records in the property management/CRM system (e.g., Entrata, Real Page/One Site, Yardi), including traffic, follow-ups, and conversion data.
• Assist with move-in coordination, resident events, and general front-office operations.
• Keep leasing interactions compliant with Fair Housing and North Carolina landlord-tenant requirements.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you’re comfortable and confident talking with students, parents, and guarantors.
• A sales-minded, goal-oriented attitude and the drive to close leases and hit targets.
• Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage many leads at once.
• Professionalism, reliability, and a service-first mindset.
• Comfort with computers, CRM/leasing software, and social media.
• Availability to work a schedule that ramps up during pre-leasing season, turn, and move-in, including some weekends.

• Prior leasing, sales, retail, hospitality, or customer-service experience.
• Familiarity with student housing, by-the-bed leasing, and the academic-year cycle.
• Experience with property management/leasing software (Entrata, Real Page/One Site, Yardi) and CRM tools.
• Knowledge of the Greenville / East Carolina University market — bonus if you’re an ECU student or alum.
• Basic Fair Housing awareness.

• A high-visibility, top-of-market community steps from ECU’s campus in one of eastern North Carolina’s fastest-growing college towns.
• Real earning potential through per-lease and renewal commissions on top of base pay.
• A clear path to grow into senior leasing, assistant management, and beyond.
