A REIT that has added more than $100 million in assets over the last 18 months and recently joined the NYSE wants experienced leasing professionals to join its Houston team. The leasing associate position is a ground-floor opportunity in a company that prizes its high standards and promotes professional development. This REIT rewards achievement, offering its associates strategic input into operations and equity incentives that align the interests of team members with those of shareholders. What’s more, this is an aggressively growing company that aims to double its size in the next three to five years. Its properties create value in both established and developing neighborhoods notable for their growth potential and cultural diversity, all while matching tenants to the needs of their neighbors. This company also seeks to serve Houston’s growing Hispanic business community and population, making Spanish fluency a critical part of the position.
Leasing associates make this happen. Duties include systematic tenant prospecting, marketing strategy development, networking with brokers, expanding contact lists and negotiating new leases. All of this, and more, takes place in an environment of high ethical standards and fast-paced, self-directed work.
The position requires a bachelor’s degree in business, finance or a related field, plus at least three years of experience in commercial real estate, preferably retail, office or flex. This REIT will be looking for a track record of leasing success and the ability to quickly ramp up the leasing of new and redeveloped properties. Candidates should also show their ability to work independently and to build relationships within the broader commercial real estate community.
Christopher Frederick Search Consultants, a trusted national executive search firm, has been retained to help find the perfect people to fill this critical leasing position.
