KPM • Arlington, TX

About The Position

KPM is seeking a dedicated and personable Leasing Consultant to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be the first point of contact for prospective tenants, responsible for showcasing our properties and guiding clients through the leasing process with professionalism and enthusiasm. The ideal candidate will have strong communication skills, a passion for customer service, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. As a Leasing Consultant at KPM, you will play a key role in driving occupancy rates and contributing to the overall success of our property management operations. You will collaborate closely with property managers and maintenance teams to ensure an exceptional living experience for residents. This position offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to build a career in real estate or property management, providing valuable industry experience and professional growth.

We're looking for a Leasing Consultant who genuinely likes people and likes to win. You'll be the first face a prospect sees and the reason many of them sign — giving tours, following up on leads, closing applications, and keeping current residents happy enough to renew.

This is a sales role wrapped in hospitality. If you can hold a conversation, keep your follow-up organized, and get satisfaction out of hitting a number, you'll do well here.
