Leasing Consultant Cover Letter Example

A great leasing consultant makes a prospective resident feel at home before they have signed anything, and that has been my approach throughout my career in residential leasing. I am applying for the Leasing Consultant position at Oakwood Properties because your communities have a reputation for service that I would be proud to represent.

As a leasing consultant at Skyline Residential, I reached 115% of my annual leasing target by following up personally with every prospect and hosting more than 30 community events a year. When vacancies crept up, I led outreach and targeted marketing campaigns that reduced our vacancy rate by 18% within six months. I also prepared lease documents and coordinated move-ins for more than 50 units a month, which helped our team hold a 95% occupancy rate.

I began as a leasing assistant at Oakwood Property Group, managing a pipeline of more than 200 prospects in Yardi with complete, accurate records and prompt communication. I later trained and mentored three new leasing staff, and our team consistently ranked in the top three for regional occupancy. I am comfortable with Yardi and ResMan, lease renewals and negotiations, and tenant screening under fair housing rules, and I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Texas at Dallas.

I would welcome the chance to visit one of your properties and talk about how I could help fill it. Thank you for your consideration.
