Physical Demands & Work Environment

The role is intermittently sedentary but requires mobility (e.g., climbing stairs) to tour, show, and inspect apartments daily. It involves repetitive hand‑wrist motion from computer use and writing, and work in a typical office setting with daily exposure to outdoor conditions (heat, cold, damp, rain) when touring the community. Hazards can be minimized with proper lifting techniques, safety training, and appropriate personal protective equipment. The position demands handling stressful, urgent, novel, and diverse situations, emotional stability, and personal maturity. Employees may work long hours, odd schedules (including weekends), and may be required to travel by automobile, and occasionally by airline for out‑of‑town or overnight trips. Attendance and punctuality are essential.
