Apartment Locator (Real Estate Sales)

Smart City Apartment Locating · Nashville Metropolitan Area · 2 mo ago

On-siteManagement$70k–$100k/yrFull-time

About the role

People are moving to Nashville every day, and apartment hunting is a nightmare—47 open tabs, unanswered phone calls, and "special move-in pricing" on an apartment's website with zero additional context. We remove the complexity and mystery of the apartment hunting process for our clients. Our marketing and CX teams bring in the leads (check us out @smartcitynashville on Instagram and TikTok). You chat with renters, learn what they actually want, tour apartments all over Nashville with them, and lease them at their next place. Client pays rent → the apartment complex pays you → our service remains free to the client. Win/Win/Win.

Responsibilities

Manage the client relationship from "help, I need an apartment" to lease signed
Chat with clients via text, phone, and email (you're their go-to person)
Build hyper-personalized apartment lists based on what they actually care about
Tour properties, work with leasing agent partners, get people into places they love

Qualities of successful candidates

Empathetic, social, a little bit of a hype person
Self-driven and goal-oriented — you like winning
Can laugh at yourself when things go sideways (they will, occasionally)
Organized in your own way, a follow-up whiz, persistent (in an endearing way)

Pay

This role is commission-based. Full-time agents averaging 8-12 leased clients/month land between $70K–$100K+ per year. Top performers clear $100K+.

Benefits

We generate the leads. No cold calling, ever. People come to us.
A launchpad into residential real estate; if that's a future goal, this is where you start.
Flexibility, with an asterisk. Your schedule follows your clients. Some evenings, some weekend tours, but you own your time off as long as clients get 5-star service.
Get paid faster. We advance 30% of the invoice at move-in confirmation, so you're paid 60-90 days sooner than most brokerages.
Tenure pays. Your commission percentage grows the longer you're here, up to 90%.
We promote from within. 90% of our exec leadership team started as agents.

Requirements

Willingness to complete your Tennessee Real Estate License coursework within 4 weeks of your offer (we'll walk you through it)
A laptop (MacBook strongly encouraged) — you're reachable and searching on the go
An iPhone (our custom CRM's mobile app is iOS-only)
Comfort with local travel around Nashville for tours
