About Benchmark

Benchmark Real Estate Group is a New York City–based multifamily investment and management firm specializing in value-add repositioning. We own and operate a growing portfolio across Manhattan and Westchester, with active expansion into the Southeast market. Our team is lean, fast-moving, and hands-on, and we take pride in running a professional, well-documented, compliant operation across every property we touch.

The Role

We're looking for a detail-obsessed Leasing Coordinator to be the operational backbone of our leasing function. You'll own the administrative lifecycle of every lease — from application through renewal — and keep our records, compliance filings, and tenant ledgers clean and current. This is a high-accountability support role for someone who likes checklists, deadlines, and getting the details exactly right. It's also a strong entry point into institutional multifamily real estate for someone eager to grow.

What You'll Do

• Prepare, distribute, and track new leases, renewals, and riders across the portfolio, ensuring every document is complete, accurate, and executed on time
• Manage renewal pipelines proactively — flag upcoming expirations well in advance and coordinate notice deadlines so nothing lapses
• Process rental applications: collect documentation, run and organize credit/background screening, and prepare files for approval
• Coordinate move-ins and move-outs, including scheduling, key handoffs, unit inspections, and security deposit paperwork
• Maintain tenant and property records in RentManager, keeping ledgers, charges, and payment activity reconciled and up to date
• Prepare and track required disclosures and compliance documents (e.g., lead-based paint, window guard, sprinkler, and Good Cause / rent-regulation notices)
• Support accounts receivable: monitor delinquencies, prepare rent demands and notices for review, and coordinate with counsel on escalations
• Serve as a first point of contact for tenant inquiries, delivering prompt, professional, and organized communication

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in residential leasing, property management, or real estate administration (NYC multifamily strongly preferred)
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail
• Comfort managing multiple deadlines simultaneously without dropping any
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and a professional, service-oriented demeanor
• Proficiency with property management software (RentManager experience a plus) and Microsoft Office
• Working familiarity with NYC/NYS residential requirements (rent stabilization, Good Cause Eviction, HSTPA notice periods, mandatory disclosures) — or the aptitude and eagerness to learn them quickly

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $55,000–$75,000, commensurate with experience
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and holidays
• Opportunity for growth within a fast-scaling multifamily investment platform
