Leasing Associate

Vervic Inc, Nashville, TN, United States


As a Leasing Associate, you will work directly with our Leasing Manager (and company leadership) to source and qualify new tenants, market vacant spaces, manage leasing materials, and help fill our shopping centers with thriving local and national retailers.

We're seeking a candidate who embodies optimism, hard work, follow-through, creative problem solving and a passion for learning the business of commercial real estate.

Role Overview This is an entry-level, full-time role designed for someone ready to grow within a high-performing and purposeful real estate team. You will receive hands‑on training, mentorship, and the opportunity to see how deals get done from first call to signed lease. Your work will show up in occupied storefronts and thriving shopping centers - and along the way, you'll build real relationships with brokers, business owners, and national retailers.

This is an in-office role based in Nashville. While some property travel is required, the majority of prospecting and deal coordination is conducted via phone, email, and CRM tools from the office.

This role is a great fit for someone who is

Passionate about building a career in commercial real estate

Relationally confident and comfortable communicating with all types of people

A self‑starter who takes initiative to solve problems and figure things out on their own

Tech‑savvy and excited about using modern tools (heavy Ai usage required) to work faster and smarter

Comfortable with cold outreach and not discouraged by hearing "no"

Driven by achieving results and building momentum through strong follow‑up

Detail‑oriented with strong accuracy in reviewing leases, LOIs, and deal materials

Before you apply, the following statements should resonate deeply with you

I thrive in environments where positivity is not just a choice, but a way of life, and I contribute to fostering that atmosphere.

When I say something is taken care of, it's a guarantee, delivered with precision and follow‑through.

I am resilient and adaptable, capable of navigating multiple challenges and tasks at once with a positive mindset and determination to succeed.

Excellence is a standard I uphold in every task, big or small.

I am a humble learner, never hesitating to seek guidance or ask questions to better serve the company's mission.

I am comfortable engaging in direct and honest conversations, tactfully navigating negotiations and relationship‑building efforts.

My organizational skills keep chaos at bay, ensuring smooth sailing for those around me through efficient task management.

I'm always a team player who is not afraid to respectfully push back to ensure tasks align with our collective goals.

I proactively see needs and meet them, allowing me to effectively support teammates without missing a beat.

Representing Anchor Investments is an honor I uphold with professionalism and integrity in every interaction.

I am willing to put in the hours it takes (50 to 60 hours) per week to learn the industry and be successful.

We imagine this candidate will deeply resonate with the phrase "To whom much is given, much is required." and Our corporate Vision - "To build America's most generous real estate company, redeeming CRE one team member, experience, and property at a time"
