## Description

**Lease-Up Specialist Wanted: Single-Family Build-to-Rent Community, Irmo, SC**

A growing owner-operator of build-to-rent communities is hiring a high-energy, results-driven Onsite Leasing Agent for a new single-family build-to-rent community in Irmo, South Carolina. This community consists entirely of standalone single-family homes, not townhomes or attached product.

This role combines initial lease-up with ongoing second-generation leasing. You will drive the community’s initial fill period, then transition into managing renewals, turnover leasing and resident retention as the community stabilizes. Prior hands-on lease-up experience is required. This is not a role in which to learn lease-up on the job.

This is a commission-eligible sales role for someone who thinks like a closer, not a gatekeeper.

### Lease-Up Execution

•    Own the leasing funnel from first point of contact through signed lease: inquiry, tour, application, approval and move-in.

•    Drive lease-up pace against a defined absorption schedule and escalate pacing risk proactively.

### Second-Generation Leasing

•    Once the community stabilizes, transition focus from initial fill to renewal and turnover leasing, managing lease renewals, re-leasing vacated homes and sustaining occupancy.

•    Proactively engage current residents ahead of lease expiration to drive renewal conversion and minimize avoidable turnover.

•    Apply the same sales and closing approach used in lease-up to second-generation prospects. This is not a passive, order-taking leasing function.

### Traffic Generation

•    Proactively source prospects beyond passive inbound leads: local business partnerships, community events, corporate relocation outreach, referral programs, social media presence and grassroots marketing specific to the Irmo market.

•    Identify and test creative, low-cost traffic-driving tactics appropriate for a new community that does not have an established reputation yet.

•    Partner with the marketing and regional team to flag what is converting and what is not, in real time.

### Sales and Closing

•    Convert tours into signed leases through a consultative, high-energy sales approach rather than order-taking.

•    Handle objections on price, timing and competing communities with confidence, and offer creative, policy-compliant solutions to get deals across the line.

•    Maintain accurate, timely CRM and guest card documentation on every prospect touchpoint.

### Compliance and Documentation

•    Ensure every lease, application and screening decision complies with Fair Housing, FCRA and company policy.

•    Maintain licensure requirements and complete required continuing education.

•    Escalate any fair housing, applicant dispute or legally sensitive situation to the SVP of Operations immediately rather than resolving it independently.

### Community Presentation

•    Maintain model units, the leasing office and community common areas in show-ready condition at all times.

•    Coordinate with construction and turnover teams to ensure homes are tour-ready and move-in-ready on schedule.

### Reporting

•    Provide regular leasing activity reports on a daily or weekly cadence: traffic, tours, applications, approvals, denials and closed leases.

•    Flag pacing gaps, competitive pricing intelligence and market feedback that could affect lease-up strategy.

Reports to the SVP of Operations.

## Requirements

**Schedule: Wednesday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Onsite presence is required all five days, with no remote or hybrid flexibility during the lease-up phase. The schedule may require adjustment around move-in events, marketing pushes or leasing deadlines at management discretion.**

### REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

•    Active South Carolina real estate license in good standing. This is a non-negotiable requirement for this position.

•    Minimum 2 years of lease-up-specific experience in new construction, build-to-rent or single-family rental lease-up. General stabilized-property leasing experience alone does not satisfy this requirement.

•    Must reside in or be willing to relocate to the greater Irmo, SC area prior to start. This is a fully onsite role with no remote flexibility.

•    Working familiarity with the Irmo, SC rental market: competitive set, pricing dynamics, seasonal demand patterns and local renter profile.

•    Comfort working in a fast-paced, target-driven, unstabilized-community environment.

•    Strong verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to build rapport quickly with prospective residents.

•    Working knowledge of Fair Housing laws and the ability to lease in full compliance with federal, state and local regulations.

•    Reliable transportation and the ability to work the required weekend-inclusive schedule.

### REQUIRED SYSTEMS PROFICIENCY

•    Yardi, for leasing, applications and reporting

•    HubSpot, for lead management and CRM follow-up

•    RingCentral, for phone and communications

•    Power BI, for leasing pacing dashboards and reporting

### PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

•    Experience with single-family home product specifically, including standalone home tours and yard and exterior grounds presentation.

•    A history of exceeding leasing velocity goals in a commission-based structure.

•    An existing local network or referral relationships within the Irmo market.

•    Familiarity with digital lead generation tools: ILS platforms, social media leasing campaigns and CRM follow-up systems.

### CORE COMPETENCIES

•    Sales mentality: sees every tour as a closable deal, not a maybe.

•    Creativity: generates non-obvious ways to drive traffic to a community that has no brand recognition yet.

•    Urgency: operates with a lease-up clock in mind, because every vacant day carries a cost.

•    Resilience: handles rejection and slow weeks without losing momentum.

•    Judgment: knows the difference between creative and non-compliant, and escalates gray areas rather than guessing.

### PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

•    Ability to walk the community and show homes multiple times daily, including yards and exterior grounds. Single-family product is spread across a larger community footprint than an attached-product layout.

•    Ability to work outdoors during tours in varying weather conditions.

## Benefits

This is a commission-eligible sales role. Compensation is a competitive hourly base commensurate with experience, plus a per-lease commission structure built to reward volume and speed-to-lease during the lease-up period. Specific base and commission figures are reviewed during the screening call.
