A Day in the Life of Our Leasing Team

Behind every smooth tenancy and happy landlord is a leasing team that runs like clockwork. At Cunninghams, our leasing specialists are the bridge between prospective tenants finding their perfect home and landlords securing the right fit — and their day is a dynamic mix of teamwork, precision, and people skills. Here’s a glimpse into how they make it all happen.

Rise & Align

The day kicks off with a team meeting — coffee cups in hand, ideas flowing, and energy high. This is where the leasing crew align on priorities, share updates, and set goals. Whether it’s fine-tuning marketing for a new property or reviewing upcoming open homes, this early huddle ensures everyone’s on the same page.

Prep & Power Up

From the meeting room to their desks, the team shifts into prep mode. Emails are answered, calls are returned, and keys are gathered. Every open home, private inspection, and tenant enquiry is mapped out for the day ahead, so nothing is left to chance.

 Lease Packs Locked & Loaded

A big part of our leasing success is organisation, and that means having lease packs ready to go. From application forms to compliance checks, every detail is triple-checked to ensure tenants have a seamless experience from first viewing to move-in day.

 The Open Home Hustle

Mid-morning, it’s all systems go. The team hit the road, armed with property brochures, key sets, and a friendly smile. Open homes are more than just quick walkthroughs — they’re an opportunity to answer questions, highlight unique features, and get a feel for which tenants are the perfect match.

 Team WIP – Progress Checkpoint

After a few hours on the road, the team reconvenes for a Work in Progress meeting. Here, they review applications, update landlords, and lock in next steps for any new tenancies. It’s also a chance to troubleshoot, brainstorm, and celebrate wins from the morning.

 Wrap Up & Wind Down

As the day draws to a close, final calls are made, inboxes are cleared, and the last applications are processed. With leases secured, inspections completed, and clients kept in the loop, the team heads home knowing they’ve helped connect another set of people with a place to call home.

At Cunninghams, our leasing team is more than just the first point of contact for tenants — they’re matchmakers, problem solvers, and a driving force behind happy clients on both sides of a lease. And they do it all with energy, professionalism, and a shared passion for making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
