Requirements

  • Active Texas Real Estate License
  • Ability to work remotely
  • Strong communication and follow-up skills
  • Basic comfort with technology and digital tools

Who This Is For

This role is a good fit for someone who:

  • Has an active Texas real estate license
  • Based in San Antonio
  • Wants to work with renters and apartment communities
  • Is comfortable using CRM tools, property search tools, email, text, and social media
  • Can respond quickly and professionally to client inquiries
  • Is self-motivated, organized, and coachable
  • Has sales, leasing, customer service, or real estate experience
