Leasing Agent; Independent Contractor

Leasing Agents/Independent Contractors are leasing apartments within our portfolios in San Francisco and in the Bay Area. Agents will be accepting leads from our Leasing Admin team or posting your own ads, receiving leads from these ads, contacting, and vetting prospective clients, scheduling appointments to tour units, and securing leases on apartments.

The Company is a property management company focused on managing residential apartment properties in the Bay Area. The Company seeks to attract and retain motivated real estate professionals who love the unique local Bay Area culture.

At Ballast, we believe it is possible for renters to experience San Francisco’s old-world charm without having to endure the 70's avocado fridge. We work hard to find historic apartment buildings in all the best San Francisco neighborhoods. Our architectural crew then carefully renovates each structure, restoring its unique characteristics, and builds modern amenities into the units. We believe living spaces should have integrity and are deeply committed to our tenants.
