What is a Leasing Specialist at AVE?

Leasing Specialists at AVE are talented sales professionals that play a hands-on role in driving results for their community's unfurnished leasing program. They are responsible for all activities related to our luxury unfurnished rentals, including leasing, move-ins, and renewals. Successful Leasing Specialists enjoy building relationships with prospects and residents to learn about their needs and exceed their expectations. They have extremely strong follow-up skills and are passionate about selling the AVE lifestyle and closing leases! Successful Leasing Specialists meet and exceed leasing goals and provide a high level of service to our prospects and residents.

• You hold yourself to high standards. Our communities and team members, on and off the property, exhibit the highest level of professional and presentation standards. Dress to impress, we wear a stylish business suit every day.
• You have basic computer and social media skills to learn and use industry tools and programs. Social selling is part of our sales culture.
