About The Position

The TOPS Leasing Specialist is a floating, assignment-based leasing role within Asset Living’s internal talent agency. The position provides short-term assignments of 1–30 days at properties needing leasing support because of vacancies, staffing gaps, transitions, or performance needs. The specialist performs the leasing, marketing, customer service, and administrative duties expected of an Asset Living Leasing Consultant and integrates quickly into each assigned community’s operations.
