Our award-winning company helps clients evaluate options, operate properties, and create case-specific solutions to protect and improve asset value. Through our more than 70-year history, we have distinguished ourselves as a firm large enough to excel in assignments of any scale while continuing to employ a hands-on, proprietary approach in every facet of our business. We are well known as a single-source expert for leasing and managing retail properties, and we apply the same comprehensive management skills across other property types – including office and industrial. Our capabilities continue to evolve with new technologies, efficiencies, and sustainability-focused initiatives to serve a new generation of properties, investors, and tenants.
We are looking to expand our team with an ambitious and self-driven leasing representative. The leasing agent is responsible for the leasing, renewals and coordination of projects within their assigned portfolio of properties. The leasing agent responsibilities are of a varying and complex nature including, but not limited to, coordinating landlord and tenant work related tasks, status reporting, budgeting, estimating, scheduling, and coordinating any tasks required to process a new lease or renewal to a tenant. The leasing agent is the liaison between LMC, the tenant, and Landlord throughout the execution process of the lease. To be successful you need to balance the needs of property owners with those of tenants, and achieve occupancy and leasing goals. Top applicants are proficient multitaskers, organized, must be articulate; detail-oriented and have strong people skills.
