About GMR Real Estate

GMR Real Estate is a property management company focused on residential properties within the Montreal market. As a relatively young and evolving organization, we are continuously improving our operations, processes, and resident experience as our portfolio expands. We value adaptability, accountability, strong service, and individuals who are motivated to contribute within a fast-moving environment. As a smaller organization, each team member has the opportunity to gain broad exposure, contribute to operational improvements, and play an active role in shaping how we operate and evolve.

About This Position

The Leasing Representative plays a key role in shaping the experience of prospective and new tenants across GMR's residential portfolio.

Working closely with the Marketing & Leasing Manager, Property Managers, and the Operations team, the Leasing Representative contributes to leasing success while helping new tenants begin their relationship with GMR on a positive note. The role requires travel among properties in Côte Saint-Luc, Hampstead, Côte-des-Neiges–NDG, Saint-Laurent, and downtown Montréal.

• Build relationships with prospective tenants, provide information on available units, and follow up on inquiries to support successful leasing outcomes.
• Create and maintain online rental listings, including photos, videos, and descriptions, in accordance with GMR's listing policies.
• Coordinate the rental application process by ensuring all required documentation is collected and complete, conducting background and credit checks, and collaborating with the team to facilitate timely lease approvals and preparation of lease agreements.
• Collaborate closely with Property Managers to coordinate unit availability, property showings, unit readiness, and move-in arrangements, ensuring a smooth experience for prospective and new tenants.
• Maintain accurate records of leasing activity in property management systems and provide regular updates on vacancies, inquiries, and leasing results.
• Collaborate with the Marketing & Leasing Manager and other team members on leasing initiatives and opportunities to improve occupancy.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1 year of experience in residential leasing, sales, or a customer-facing role involving sales, with demonstrated success in achieving sales results.

• Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to delivering a positive tenant experience.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage a high volume of inquiries and property showings, particularly during peak leasing season.
• Self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable working independently while collaborating effectively with multiple teams.
• Comfortable taking quality photos and videos and creating appealing online rental listings.
• Experience with Yardi, Rentsync, Building Stack, or other property management and leasing platforms is considered an asset.
