Sales Leasing Agent

About Nova

Nova Asset Management is a Houston-based multifamily real estate investment and management company. We own and manage apartment communities across Houston and are looking for a driven retail-style sales person to help prospects turn into happy residents.

If you’ve ever sold cars, cell phones, jewelry, furniture, or worked at a mall kiosk, this is the same kind of sales energy—but instead of selling a product, you’re "selling" people on their next home.

Role Overview

The Bilingual Apartment Leasing Consultant is responsible for:

• Greeting every prospect (walk-ins, phone, internet leads)
• Understanding their needs and budget
• Touring apartment homes
• Closing leases and hitting monthly sales goals

This role is ideal for someone who loves talking to people, is comfortable working toward targets and commissions, and likes seeing a direct link between their effort and their paycheck—similar to top earners in auto, furniture, wireless, and jewelry sales roles.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer Engagement
• Greet and qualify prospects (in person, phone, email, online leads).
• Ask questions to understand their needs: size, price range, move-in date, location preferences.
• Present available apartment homes, amenities, and community features with enthusiasm and professionalism.
• Property Tours
• Conduct apartment and community tours that highlight benefits and value.
• Overcome objections about price, location, timing, and terms.
• Close leases and secure application fees and deposits.
• Lead Management & Follow-Up
• Respond quickly to leads from advertising, websites, ILS listings, and referrals.
• Maintain a follow-up system (calls, texts, emails) to keep prospects warm and move them toward a lease.
• Keep detailed notes in CRM/property management software (e.g., Yardi / other systems we use).
• Administrative & Coordination
• Assist with applications, screening, and lease paperwork.
• Coordinate with the property manager and maintenance to ensure units are ready to show.
• Help maintain a clean, welcoming leasing office and show units.
• Performance & Targets
• Work toward monthly leasing goals (new leases, renewals, occupancy).
• Understand and track your personal numbers: tours, applications, approvals, leases, closing ratio.

Requirements

• Experience
• 1+ year in a customer-facing sales or retail role:
• Car dealership, cell phone / wireless, mall kiosk, jewelry, furniture, or similar.
• Prior apartment leasing experience is a plus, but not required if you’re a strong closer.
• Bilingual : English and Spanish
• Skills & Traits
• Comfortable working in a base + commission environment where performance drives income.
• Strong communication and people skills; you enjoy talking to strangers and building rapport quickly.
• Confident in presenting options, explaining terms, and asking for the sale.
• Organized and able to manage multiple leads at once.
• Basic computer skills: email, calendars, CRM or POS-type systems.
• Education
• High school diploma or equivalent required.

What We Offer

• Base salary + commissions on new leases (and potential renewal or occupancy bonuses).
• Opportunities for advancement into Senior Leasing, Assistant Manager, or Property Manager roles for top performers.
• Training on our systems and sales approach—if you bring the energy and drive, we’ll teach you the real estate side.
