Leasing Manager

Student housing leasing has its own rhythm. Lease-up cycles compress into short windows, renewals require early and consistent outreach, and traffic management demands both speed and warmth. The Leasing Manager role at Redstone Residential in Kent, Ohio sits squarely inside that rhythm, supporting the Community Manager across daily operations while owning the leasing function as its primary focus. Redstone is one of the larger third-party student housing operators in the country, managing over 38,000 beds across 20 states. Their Kent property is part of a growing conventional portfolio alongside their student housing base, which means this role carries real operational weight at the community level.

Responsibilities

• Handle the full leasing cycle: prospect calls, property tours, email follow-up, and renewal campaigns
• Work inside Entrata's leasing workflow
• Manage online and social marketing touchpoints
• Apply basic SEO thinking to the property's digital presence
• Maintain resident ledger accuracy, including attention to account balances

Requirements

• Strong customer service and sales instincts, especially under volume
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Gmail, Google Drive, and Dropbox
• High school diploma or GED required; some college experience is preferred
• Ability to stay organized and composed during high-traffic leasing periods

About the Role

Leasing Manager is one of the clearest development paths in property management. The skills you'll sharpen here—running leasing strategy, motivating a team around occupancy goals, keeping delinquency in check, and reading what's working in your marketing mix—translate directly into Community Manager readiness. You'll also gain exposure to budget performance and staff administration, disciplines most pure leasing consultant roles don't touch.

Working inside a large third-party management platform like Redstone's provides standardized systems, professional development programming, and a continued education benefit that rewards growth.
