Leasing Agent Jobs in Michigan

A Leasing Agent, also known as a Property Leasing Consultant, plays a crucial role in the real estate industry. They are responsible for finding tenants for vacant properties, showing the property to potential tenants, and negotiating lease agreements. They work closely with property owners to determine rental rates and contract terms, conduct background checks and credit reports on prospective tenants, and ensure all leasing paperwork is completed accurately and in a timely manner. Leasing Agents also handle tenant complaints and coordinate with maintenance staff to resolve issues.

To become a successful Leasing Agent, one should have excellent communication and negotiation skills, be detail-oriented, and have a good understanding of the local real estate market. A high school diploma or equivalent is typically required, though some employers prefer a bachelor's degree in real estate, business, or a related field. Some states require Leasing Agents to be licensed, which typically involves completing a specific number of real estate courses and passing a licensing exam. Prior to becoming a Leasing Agent, one might work as a Real Estate Sales Agent, Property Manager, or Customer Service Representative in the real estate industry to gain relevant experience.
