Sales Manager

Overview

Morning View Communities is seeking a Sales Manager for Holiday City, our manufactured housing and apartment community in Jacksonville, NC. Morning View Communities is a property management company that operates manufactured housing communities across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. Our goal is to provide an affordable, high-quality, well-maintained environment where residents can live and thrive.

This is a sales and leasing role with real earning potential. You'll own every revenue-generating activity at the community: selling new and pre-owned homes, setting up lease-purchase options, and leasing rentals and apartments. With many homes available to sell right now, the opportunity is already in front of you. Hitting your quarterly goal adds significant commissions on top of your base, and you're eligible for this quarter's incentives (prorated) from day one.

You'll bring in leads, give tours, guide prospects through the application and financing, and close the deal. You'll work side by side with our Property Manager, who handles operations, maintenance, and collections, so you can stay focused on filling homes. We're looking for someone assertive and confident who likes working as part of an office team. If you like meeting people, following up, and asking for the sale, this is your seat.

What You'll Do

• Show, lease, and sell homes in the community, including new homes, pre-owned inventory, lease-purchase options (LPOs), rentals, and apartments
• Own quarterly sales, occupancy, and leasing goals and drive results
• Plan and run marketing and outreach to generate traffic and qualified leads, including video walk-throughs and social media content
• Meet prospective residents, tour available homes and units (including Saturday tours as needed), and guide them through the application and approval process
• Help buyers through lender financing, and offer lease-purchase options when traditional financing doesn't work out
• Prepare and execute leases, LPO contracts, and rental agreements in line with state rules and company pricing and policies
• Know current pricing, specials and concessions, lease terms, and represent the community well
• Manage the sales pipeline, keep accurate records of sales, leasing, and move-ins, and report on progress toward goals
• Work with the Property Manager to make sure homes are market-ready before they're shown or leased
• Lead renewals and retention efforts tied to leasing and revenue
• Coordinate move-ins with the Property Manager for a smooth handoff from leasing to operations

What We're Looking For

• Sales or leasing experience: apartments, manufactured housing, real estate, auto, or other commission-based sales
• Assertive and confident: you follow up with leads, handle objections, and ask for the sale
• A team player who works well in a busy office alongside the Property Manager and leadership
• Comfortable with direct feedback and handling difficult conversations professionally
• Organized, with a habit of tracking leads, paperwork, and deadlines
• Friendly, professional, and confident with prospects and residents
• Flexible schedule: this position is on call for the community's sales and leasing needs, and some weekend hours are scheduled
• Valid driver's license

Preferred (not required):

• Manufactured housing or property management experience
• Experience working with mortgage lenders or home financing
• NC real estate or manufactured housing sales license
• Experience with property management software

Pay & Benefits

• $40,000 – $50,000 per year base salary, based on experience
• Commission on every sale and lease-purchase, paid quarterly when the community meets its quarterly occupancy goal
• Eligible for prorated current-quarter incentives starting day one
• 10 days of paid time off
• 10 paid holidays
• $400 per month toward the company health plan
• 401(k) with company match

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with on-call availability and some weekends

Application Question(s):
