About the Role

Insight Holdings is seeking a full-time Leasing Specialist to own the entire leasing funnel - from listing and lead generation to tours, closing, and tenant onboarding.

This is not a traditional leasing role.

You will be responsible for both execution and optimization:

• Filling units quickly with high-quality tenants
• Continuously improving how we market, position, and lease properties

The role is structured around Cleveland’s seasonal rental cycles, combining high-intensity leasing periods with off-season system building.

Responsibilities

Leasing & Conversions (Peak Season Focus)

• Manage inbound demand across all platforms
• Respond quickly to inquiries and qualify leads
• Conduct property tours
• Follow up and close deals efficiently
• Manage applications, approvals, and lease execution
• Minimize vacancy time across the portfolio

Listing & Positioning

• Create and continuously improve listings
• Write compelling, lifestyle-driven property descriptions
• Ensure high-quality photos and video walkthroughs
• Position each property based on its target audience
• Highlight location advantages and nearby amenities

Distribution & Lead Generation

• Publish listings across major platforms (Zillow, Apartments.com, etc.)
• Leverage Facebook Marketplace and local groups
• Support social media efforts, including short-form video and property showcases
• Assist with running and optimizing paid campaigns when needed

Speed & Tenant Experience

• Maintain fast response times to all inquiries
• Coordinate scheduling and tours efficiently
• Deliver a smooth application and move-in process
• Provide a professional, responsive experience for every prospect

Off-Season System Building (~4 Months/Year)

During slower leasing periods, focus shifts from closing to building systems and improving performance:

• Create content (property videos, social media assets, listing improvements)
• Analyze leasing performance and identify gaps
• Improve templates, messaging, and workflows
• Organize and maintain leasing data and pipeline
• Prepare listings and campaigns ahead of peak season
• Support back-office and operational tasks

What Success Looks Like

• Properties leased quickly with minimal vacancy
• Strong conversion rates from inquiry to signed lease
• High-quality, consistent listings across all platforms
• A repeatable leasing process that improves over time
• Faster ramp-up and stronger performance each peak season

Qualifications

• Experience in leasing, real estate, or sales preferred
• Strong communication and closing skills
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Comfortable with digital tools and listing platforms
• Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership
• Ability to operate in both fast-paced and structured environments

Compensation

• Base salary (year-round) $35K
• Commission during peak leasing periods Up to an additional $30k+
• Performance-based incentives

Why This Role

This role is designed for someone who wants to go beyond traditional leasing.

You won’t just fill units - you’ll help build a leasing engine that drives performance across the entire portfolio.
