Leasing Consultant

Eagle Ridge is seeking a full-time Leasing Consultant to assist the Community Manager and staff in maintaining and developing the operations of a 240-unit apartment community in Maple Grove, MN.

Eagle Ridge Apartments is a 240-unit residential apartment community in Maple Grove, MN, set just off the 290 acre Eagle Lake. We’re a picturesque property with lots of mature landscaping, great amenities, and truly spacious 1- and 2-bedroom apartment homes. We’re minutes from Maple Grove’s retail, dining, arts, entertainment, and recreation options.

The Eagle Ridge staff work closely together on a daily basis to maintain our community’s operations. With our combined experience and our unique personalities and skill sets, we create a super-team of multi-housing professionals!

As a Leasing Consultant, you’ll enjoy working in a fast-paced environment in and outside of the Rental Office – our leasing staff positions are far from sedentary! We provide hands‑on service to both current and prospective residents.

The main focus of your role will be to generate traffic and secure apartment rentals through active engagement in the community’s sales and marketing strategy. You’ll also create genuine relationships with residents through quality, care, and service, and assist with the day‑to‑day operations of the property.

As part of our commitment to helping employees enjoy life to the fullest, we offer a range of benefits, including:

• Competitive pay ($23 – $28 per hour, depending on qualification)
• Vacation and sick time
• 6+ paid holidays
• Healthcare plans (we share the expense), plus HSA with additional employer contribution!
• Dental care options
• 401K with employer match (after 1 year of employment)
• Fun employee and community events
• Opportunity to live on site (with access to premium amenities)

On‑site living reduces commute times and work costs for our staff, allowing them to focus on what matters – spending time with family, pursuing hobbies and interests, and enjoying life!

We strongly believe that a positive attitude, genuine desire to do a good job, and eagerness to learn are more important than prior experience. We’re looking for someone with a superior work ethic who enjoys fostering and building relationships; someone who takes pride in their daily work; and someone who is detail-oriented and goes the extra mile.

Being able to work independently and be self‑motivated are musts, but we also value a team player who can effectively communicate with and contribute to the rest of the staff.

• Play an active role in the community’s sales, leasing, and marketing initiatives (including direct contact, phone, email, and limited work with online/digital marketing and advertising).
• Guide prospective residents on informative, compelling tours of the community and apartments, resulting in new leases.
• Maintain our brand of providing outstanding living and service at an exceptional value.
• Maintain a high closing ratio (35% minimum).

• Facilitate the move‑in process for new residents and the move‑out processes for current residents moving on.
