How To Craft a Winning Commercial Real Estate Cover Letter

If you’re trying to make a career move within commercial real estate or trying to land your first job in the industry, this can prove to be a pretty tricky task.

Commercial real estate hiring managers are often looking for what they refer to as “No Risk Hires”, essentially those people who have done the job they’re applying for in the past.

But even if you don’t have direct experience doing everything that would be required of you in this new role from day one, all is not lost, and you can still set yourself up for success in landing the commercial real estate job you’re looking for.

In this article, we’ll break down how your cover letter can make (or break) your chances of landing an interview at top commercial real estate firms , and three things to add to that cover letter to land more interviews (even in a competitive job market).

If video is more your thing, you can watch the video version of this article here .

Why Commercial Real Estate Cover Letters Matter

When you’re applying for roles in commercial real estate, it’s easy for your resume to go into a black hole, never to hear back from the job poster again.

And with the commercial real estate industry becoming more institutionalized each year, the initial resume screening process is more competitive than it’s been in the last decade, making it much, much easier to end up with your own resume in that black hole of silence.

However, one tool that can help you sidestep that black hole is something that’s often overlooked by commercial real estate job seekers firing off dozens of applications per week, and that is the cover letter .

While your resume can do a great job of highlighting your experience and skill sets, a cover letter allows you to clearly tell your story about why you’re the best fit for the role, and gives the hiring manager an opportunity to get to know you better on a personal and professional level (even before getting to the interview phase).

With that said, writing a cover letter definitely isn’t the easiest thing in the world, and it’s tough to narrow down exactly what you want to put into the three or four paragraphs that are tasked with telling your story.

So, to make this process a little easier, this article will walk through three essential elements of any commercial real estate cover letter , and how these things might apply to your own specific situation.

Commercial Real Estate Cover Letters Should Be Concise

Before we get into the first point on this list, as a blanket statement overall, I want to emphasize the point that a commercial real estate cover letter should be concise, brief, and to-the-point . Just a few paragraphs will be sufficient, and anything more than a page is usually a good indication that your cover letter might be a little bit too lengthy (and might lose the attention of the reader as a result).

Treat each word on your commercial real estate cover letter as if it costs $100, and delete anything that isn’t absolutely necessary to tell your story in the way you want to tell it.

If you can do this, you cover letter can be an extremely powerful tool to grab the attention of a hiring manager or recruiter, and can help you set yourself apart from other applicants in a competitive job environment.

Let’s get started.

Commercial Real Estate Cover Letters Should Clearly State Why You’re Interested in the Role

The first point on this list is to start your commercial real estate cover letter off with why the role interests you over other opportunities in the job market .

It is extremely time consuming for commercial real estate firms to interview job candidates, and it’s not uncommon for online job postings to see several hundred applications come through the door for a single open position.

This means that recruiters and hiring managers need to set up some base “filters” to screen candidates quickly, and to make sure they have the time and bandwidth available to review all resumes submitted for the role.

One of the most common filters employers use, especially for companies which spend significant time or money training new employees, is whether or not the candidate shows clear interest in the company itself, and where the role will take them .

This means that if you’re applying for an asset management role at a small, start-up company that acquires and manages office buildings, this is your opportunity to talk about your career interests in office asset management, and your desire to work for a growing, entrepreneurial firm.

And on your cover letter for this position, you might consider starting this off with something along the lines of:

“Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Asset Management Associate role within your firm. My experience in office asset management working for large, institutional companies, coupled with my interest in contributing to the growth of a small, entrepreneurial real estate investment firm, makes this opportunity extremely exciting to me.”

Anything that can show that you’re serious about the role, and you’re not just firing off a bunch of generic resumes and cover letters to any firm that is even remotely related to a place you’d want to work, is going to help you a lot in passing through this initial screening process.

Intent Matters More Than You Think

While this might seem like a really trivial thing, I can promise you, this matters.

And despite how much this matters, a lot of people just don’t take this part of the process all too seriously.

I’ve reviewed multiple cover letters when hiring for positions where the candidate included another firm’s name when referring to our company , making it blatantly clear that they put zero time or thought into applying for the position.

I’ve also reviewed cover letters where candidates talked about their career interests in roles completely unrelated to our firm, or even unrelated to the real estate industry altogether.

Even though this seems extremely simple and basic, just adding one or two sentences solidifying that your career interests are aligned with the role can go a long, long way.

What If You’re Not Sure What You Want To Do Long-Term Yet?

A question you might be asking at this point is, “What if I’m not sure if this is really where I want to take my career long term?”

It makes sense that you might not have 100% certainty on where you want to be 30 years from now, especially if you’re just graduating from college or a few years out of school.

And with that said (especially for analyst and associate roles), you need to show a definite interest in the career path you’re currently looking to pursue within the firm, but not necessarily an in-depth explanation of how you plan to lock yourself into this specific career path forever.

Just make sure that you’re clear on paper about the job function you want to do right now , that you’re excited about the company you’ll be working with, and that you can see yourself growing within the firm in the future.

Even if that doesn’t materialize, if you’re able to convey this within your cover letter, this will make the cost in time and money to interview, hire, and train you much more “worth it” to that employer than if it came off as if you weren’t committed to the process and were flip-flopping on where you wanted to go over the next 3-5 years.

Commercial Real Estate Cover Letters Should Make It Clear Why You’re The Perfect Fit For The Role

Once you’ve talked about why the role interests you, the next paragraph in your commercial real estate cover letter is your opportunity to talk about the skill sets you have , the experiences you’ve had , and the things you’ve accomplished which have prepared you directly for the role you’re looking to take on .

I mentioned earlier in this article that employers are looking for “No Risk Hires”, and this is your opportunity to show the employer that you would fall into this category (even if you haven’t done the exact job before).

This section of your cover letter should explain 1-3 key skill sets, experiences, or things you’ve accomplished that are directly applicable to the responsibility bullet points contained in the job description .

This is your chance to show that you’ve done the job (or something similar) before, and could step in to the role successfully on day one with minimal training and oversight.

Again, even if your experience doesn’t perfectly align with everything you’ll be doing in the position, this is your opportunity to highlight that experience that does make you a clear fit for the role.

This could be a project you worked on, a responsibility you had, or any sort of adjacent skill set that would show your proficiency in the key tasks you’ll be responsible for on a day-to-day basis if you were hired at the firm.

What This Looks Like in Practice

For example, if you’re applying for an Acquisitions Analyst role at a multifamily investment firm, you might want to include any experience you have with underwriting multifamily properties, putting together offering memorandums and equity investor packages, managing the due diligence process, building pro forma models in Excel, or anything else that will be expected of you when you step into the role.

Again, if you’re feeling overwhelmed here or saying, “I don’t have all of the experience they’re looking for,” you don’t have to check every single one of these boxes for this to work .

For example, maybe you’re applying for that multifamily Acquisitions Analyst role, and you only have experience in corporate finance outside of real estate.

Well, in that corporate finance role, you probably worked quite a bit in Excel, you may have created pro forma models and cash flow projections, and your experience has very likely provided you with a strong understanding of how to interpret a cash flow statement and basic accounting principles.

You’ll also have a unique perspective and training coming from a different industry, which is often welcomed by commercial real estate firms looking to uncover their own blind spots.

Your cover letter is also an excellent opportunity for you to highlight any “must-have” skill sets that you’re currently building, by highlighting any coursework you’re currently working on, or certifications or licenses that are currently in progress.

Overall, this paragraph is where you’re able to describe to the employer why you’re a clear fit for the role you’re applying for , and how the transition will make perfect sense based on where you’ve been, what you’re able to do, and where you’re looking to go in the future.

Commercial Real Estate Cover Letters Should Start and End With Gratitude

Finally, once you’ve made your interests clear and you’ve shown your ability to do the job successfully, the final thing on this list I’d recommend is to make sure to start and end your commercial real estate cover letter with humility and gratitude .

Yes, I know this sounds a little bit “out there” or woo woo, but stick with me here.

Hiring managers do not want someone to come in on day one and act like they know everything and their way is always the right way, and this is especially true at the analyst and associate level.

In most cases, if you’re applying for a job requiring anywhere up to about 5 years of experience, the expectation will actually be that you’ll learn the company’s processes and way of doing things, and they’ll want to make sure that you’re still relatively malleable as far as how you do your job.

Cover letters, like resumes, are a delicate balance of showing confidence, but also not appearing cocky or arrogant.

You want to be clear about the things you can do and the experiences you’ve had, but you also want to be careful not to overstate or embellish experiences or skill sets you have (which is often more apparent than you’d think to experienced hiring managers).

The best way to go about walking this fine line is to express your excitement about applying your existing skill set to add value to the team, but also to mention how attracted you are to the learning and growth opportunities within the organization, as well.

Companies want a team player that is always willing to improve, someone who can assess their own strengths and weaknesses, and a person who acknowledges that they aren’t perfect or right 100% of the time.

And the candidate who clearly states their abilities and skill sets (and does so with humility) shows much better than the person who tries to make it sound like they know everything about everything, and clearly exaggerates their experiences and what they can do.

Purpose of a Letter of Intent

A letter of intent to lease is used to discuss the terms of a rental arrangement before signing a binding contract. Its contents can be negotiated until both parties are satisfied, after which the letter will act as the foundation for the final lease agreement.

Aside from being used as a negotiation tool, a letter of intent announces the applicant’s interest in renting a commercial space. Landlords sometimes require this display of interest when screening potential tenants.

Benefits of a Letter of Intent

Whether it’s written after an initial viewing of a commercial property or towards the final stages of a lease negotiation, a letter of intent can help the parties in the following ways:

• Documentation – It offers a quick and simple way to record the basic conditions of a potential lease agreement.
• Negotiation tool – It assists the negotiation process and documents the proposed terms.
• Builds trust – It promotes a relationship of trust and credibility between the parties.
• Helps avoid disputes – It outlines the parties’ rights and obligations, which can help reduce the possibility of costly legal disputes.
• Demonstrates commitment – It indicates that the lease applicant should be taken seriously as a potential tenant.

When to Use

A letter of intent is most commonly used when a landlord and tenant begin negotiating terms for a commercial lease agreement. Either party will fill out the letter to summarize their rental offer and demonstrate their desire to sign a binding contract.

The letter is also sometimes used after the parties reach a verbal arrangement to get some of the terms in writing before they draft the definitive contract.

Commercial Lease Application Form

Use our lease application to screen tenants before renting your commercial property.

Updated May 15, 2024 Written by Jana Freer | Reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A commercial lease application is a document a landlord or property manager uses to screen applicants for a commercial rental property. The occupants of commercial properties use the space for income-generating activities under specific terms the landlord or property manager outlines.

In contrast, a residential lease application focuses on an individual’s suitability to rent an apartment unit or private home.

What Is a Commercial Lease Application

How to screen an applicant, key things to remember as a landlord, what information do landlords look for, how to write a commercial lease application, commercial lease application sample, frequently asked questions.

A commercial lease application helps the landlord or property manager screen businesses to evaluate and decide on a tenant for a commercial space. Applications for commercial leases also give insight into a business’s financials and rental history, which helps the landlord minimize risk.

When commercial property owners want to rent out their space, they typically have a potential tenant fill out a simple commercial lease application.

When to Use

Commercial real estate owners should use a lease application to evaluate prospective tenants interested in renting their properties for business purposes. A landlord usually asks a business entity’s representative or owner to fill out an application before signing a commercial lease agreement .

Landlords of a commercial space include those who own:

• Strip malls
• High-rise buildings
• Shopping malls
• Retail kiosks
• Stand-alone commercial properties

Failing to screen businesses that want to rent a commercial space properly could mean the landlord ends up with a tenant who cannot or stops paying rent.

Screening also helps landlords better understand the prospective tenant and the business (and its principals or representatives) and determine whether they will add value to a property. Typical commercial leases applicants include:

• Retail businesses
• Childcare facilities
• Accounting, law, and other professional offices
• Service providers
• Restaurants
• Auto repair shops
• Shipping companies
• Manufacturing companies

Screening potential commercial rental applicants can help you find a high-quality tenant. Here are some steps to follow to screen your applicants properly:

Step 1 – Send a Rental Application

Begin by sending a commercial rental application. Ensure the tenant has provided all the requested details. Once you obtain this document, you can continue with the subsequent steps to verify the information.

Step 2 – Verify the Business With the State

All 50 states have a specific office, like a Secretary of State, with reputable businesses on file. Ensure your applicant’s business is in good standing with the state.

The resources below help verify a business’s status with its respective Secretary of State or equivalent office:

Step 3 – Look Up the Business’s PAYDEX Score

Look up the business’s credit score, which is a risk and creditworthiness score a third-party company assigns to a business owner or principal. The following companies (and more) provide business credit scores:

• Dun & Bradstreet

Dun & Bradstreet is popular in the business credit scoring industry, and it assigns PAYDEX scores that range from 1 to 100 based on past payment performance and creditworthiness. Below is a breakdown of what each score range represents:

• 0-49. High risk of late payment (an average of 30 to 120 days beyond terms)
• 50-79. Medium risk of late payment (average of 30 or fewer days beyond terms)
• 80-100. Low risk of late payment (average of prompt to 30 days within terms)

Step 4 – Conduct a Personal Credit Check

While it’s important to run a business credit check to understand the company’s financials better, you can also benefit from conducting a personal credit check of the business owner. Personal credit checks produce a score between 300 to 850. Ideally, you should consider tenants with a personal credit score of at least 700.

Obtain a personal credit score from one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, which are Transunion , Experian , and Equifax .

Step 5 – Contact References

As the landlord, you can verify the information a potential tenant provides by contacting the references they give. Consider contacting them by phone instead of via email for added legitimacy.

If you have to contact a bank to verify financial information, the bank may request the applicant’s consent before it provides sensitive financial information.

Step 6 – Obtain a Personal Guarantee

Confirm that the tenant will pay the lease regardless if their business succeeds with a personal guarantee. This statement affirms the tenant will keep paying the lease until the agreed-upon termination date.

Step 7 – Decide on the Tenant

Using the information from the previous steps, select a final tenant who has a strong likelihood to pay rent on time for the duration of the entire lease. Notify the tenant with a rental application approval letter . Then, you can start negotiating a lease with your tenant.

In case you decide to decline the applicant, you should send a rejection letter with the reasons. You must also tell the tenant if you take an adverse action due to the applicant’s background check [1] . Examples of adverse action include:

• Declining the commercial lease applicant
• Requesting a higher deposit amount
• Raising the rent amount
• Requesting a co-signer on the lease
• Adding a deposit that isn’t required for other applicants

Leasing a commercial space can be the most lucrative when you remember these key points:

Choose Your Tenant Carefully

Even if you receive dozens of commercial rental applications, you may not find the right tenant in your first batch. Take the time to narrow down your choices carefully. Instead of choosing a tenant to simply fill the space and start collecting rent money, select one you have full confidence in.

Understand Maintenance Responsibilities

Usually, maintenance relating to the property’s structure is your responsibility as the landlord. Any other maintenance related to fit-outs, which are the adjustments for making a commercial space suitable for the tenant’s needs, is typically the tenant’s responsibility.

Clarify maintenance responsibilities and ensure applicants understand them when you’re selecting a tenant.

Obtain a Guarantee

While you can obtain a personal guarantee the tenant will pay regardless of their business’s financial situation, consider getting a bank guarantee. A bank guarantee may be more reliable than a personal guarantee, as you can access cash from the bank in case the tenant stops paying their rent.

As a landlord or property manager, there are limitations to what you can ask while screening commercial tenants . Reduce potential legal issues by limiting your inquiries to the following:

The Business Name

You can ask your potential tenant the name of their business. You can search for customer reviews and complaints if it is an established business.

This allows you to determine whether the business has a good reputation and a stable client base.

The Business Structure

You can ask the tenant for their business structure. This helps you determine who pays rent and operates the business daily.

Business entity structures may differ for a limited liability company (LLC), corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship.

The Intended Use of the Space

You can request details about the type of business the tenant intends to operate. You need to know whether the owners will use the space in a manner consistent with legal and regulatory requirements. These details also allow you to determine whether the space is appropriate for the business’s intended use.

Previous Rental Information

You can request details about the tenant’s prior rental history, including their previous landlords’ contact information. References are an excellent way to determine if your potential commercial tenant will be reliable and respectful.

Business Owner Information

It is reasonable to ask for the business owners’ names and identifying information to conduct credit and background checks.

You have the right to know who will be renting your commercial space and whether they have any financial issues that could prevent them from meeting the lease terms.

Business Banking Information

You may request banking details from the business, including bank statements, tax returns, profit and loss statements, and a business plan. As the landlord, you have a right to confirm whether the business can meet the financial obligations of the agreement before you enter into the lease.

Credit References

Credit reports and references from banks, lending agencies, and businesses associated with your potential tenant can provide critical details. You can review the potential tenant’s credit history to confirm their financial reliability.

Authorization to Perform a Credit or Background Check

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires you to obtain permission before performing a credit or background check on any applicant. You can only use the background or credit check to evaluate the application.

To meet authorization requirements, use a  background and credit check authorization form to request the applicant’s name, date of birth, social security number, driver’s license number, and address. The form should include a signed and dated statement authorizing you to conduct the credit check.

Step 1 – Fill in Basic Information About the Property

A business rental application form needs to summarize basic information about the property the landlord is renting:

• Date of Application
• Landlord Name
• Property Address
• Property Square Footage

Step 2 – Enter Business Applicant Information

The next section of a commercial property application addresses the applicant’s basic information:

• Business name
• DBA name (if applicable)
• Type of entity (Corporation, LLC, Partnership, Sole Proprietorship, Other)
• Date of business formation
• State of business formation
• Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Tax Identification Number

It would be best if you also used this section to gather information about the business’s primary location (place of business) and contact information:

• Office address
• Business phone number
• Business email address

Remember to ask for the length of time the business has been at its current address (physical location).

Additionally, ask for the following information to get a better idea of how the business operates:

• Business industry or a description of the business
• Proposed use of premises
• Number of years in business
• Gross annual revenue
• Other business locations

Step 3 – Write the Name of the Person Signing the Lease/Individual Owner

The person (or persons) who will sign the lease agreement (often the business owner or owners) must provide their personal information on a commercial lease application. This identifying information helps the landlord conduct any credit and background checks necessary to determine risk and creditworthiness.

The following is what you should ask of each person legally responsible for entering into contracts for the business:

• Position title
• Date of birth
• Social Security number
• Personal address
• Personal phone number
• Personal email address
• Driver’s license number and state of issue

Step 4 – Identify the Name of the Person Guaranteeing the Lease

Landlords often ask for guarantors on a commercial lease. This person agrees to fulfill the primary debtholder’s contractual obligations should the debtholder fail to do so.

You may request more than one person to guarantee the lease. Collect the following information for each guarantor:

• Business title (if applicable)

Step 5 – Collect Bank References

Bank references are bank managers’ written opinions of their customer’s (your applicant’s) financial stability and creditworthiness.

On a business lease application form, gather the information necessary to contact the potential tenant’s banking institution:

• Bank contact name and title
• Bank address
• Bank phone number
• Bank email address
• Account type and number

Request bank references for at least two accounts, but you can request more.

Step 6 – Gather Business and Credit References

Business and credit references are companies or individuals who can vouch for prospective tenants’ business aptitude and ability to make timely lease payments.

When writing your application, request the following business and credit reference information:

• Title (if applicable)
• Business address
• Relationship to applicant
• Phone number
• Email address

Always ask for at least two credit or business references on your application.

Step 7 – Ask for Personal References

Personal references shed light on your applicant’s character .

Request at least two personal references and gather the following from each:

Step 8 – Get Lease History

A commercial lease history is a list of properties the business previously rented. If the applicant owned all prior places of occupancy, ask for addresses of real estate ownership. Also, ask if the business entity is paying rent on commercial real estate.

Collect this information for as many years as you see fit to help establish business stability. If the business rented property before applying for your space, contact the previous landlords to verify the applicant fulfilled all lease obligations.

Ask the applicant to provide the following:

• Current business address
• Dates of occupancy for current address
• Reason for leaving current address
• Whether the applicant owns or rents at its current location
• Monthly rent/mortgage payment
• Landlord/mortgage company and contact name
• Landlord/mortgage company phone number
• Landlord/mortgage company email address

Step 9 – Enter Assets and Sources of Income

Your applicant should provide information on assets and income sources for consideration in their application.

Request the following:

• Business assets and their value
• Sources of income
• The amount of money brought in monthly from each income source

Step 10 – Fill in Creditors/Liabilities

A business’s liabilities are losses, ongoing obligations, debt, and continued operating costs. Creditors are people or companies to which the applicant owes money.

Asking for a list of creditors and liabilities helps paint a picture of a potential tenant’s ability to pay rent.

Ask for the name of all creditors and the amount due to each applicant listed on the commercial lease application.

Step 11 – Identify Other Information to Collect

You can write other questions on your lease application to gauge whether the applicant will be a good tenant.

Ask if the applicant or any principal, officer, or partner has:

• Been evicted
• Breached a lease agreement
• Been sued for nonpayment of rent
• Been involved in other litigation
• Declared bankruptcy

If the applicant replies “yes” to any of the above questions, require an explanation.

Step 12 – Ask for Additional Documents

• Landlords use additional documents, including bank statements and financial reports, to verify assets and liabilities and to discern the business’s stability and creditworthiness:
• Business financial statements, profit and loss statements, balance sheet
• Personal financial statements
• Bank account statements
• Tax returns (business and personal)
• Business plan
• Credit report (business and personal)

Step 13 – Leave Room for Additional Comments

• Leave space on your business lease application form for additional comments and requirements related to the approval of the commercial lease.

Step 14 – Add an Authorization Statement

A commercial property lease application should include language that states the prospective tenant provides authorization to the landlord to verify all information.

This authorization also gives the property owner the right to conduct credit and background checks as appropriate.

• Require the applicant’s signature (and date) on your lease application to confirm such authorization.

What can a landlord ask for on a rental application?

A landlord can and should ask for important information, such as contact information, authorization for a credit check, and business income information. This guide’s “Contents of a Rental Application Form” contains a complete list .

Also, landlords can ask questions regarding references and business history but may not ask anything violating federal or state law. You cannot ask any questions that discriminate based on the following:

• National origin
• Sex or gender
• Sexual orientation
• Familial status
• Military or veteran status
• Receipt of public assistance or housing subsidies

Furthermore, property owners must adhere to applicable state and federal laws regarding applications and credit reports.

When is a commercial lease application used?

If you rent your properties to businesses , you should screen applicants with a commercial lease application. Not doing so could mean you rent to a tenant who lacks the ability and resources to pay, ultimately hurting your bottom line.

What are bank references on a rental application?

Potential tenants provide bank references to support their income, money in business accounts, and sometimes payment history.

A bank reference can be a bank statement or letter from a bank manager, and it is a helpful way to decide if a tenant will be the right fit for a commercial space.

What should your leasing consultant cover letter look like - formatting and organizing your information

Have you ever wondered what are the must-have sections you need to include in your leasing consultant cover letter? Our builder sets those up for you with:

• Header - dedicated to your contact information, the role you're applying for, and the date (don't forget to include your name);
• Greeting and opening paragraph - to create a personalized and memorable experience for recruiters;
• Body paragraph - emphasizing your skill set and knowledge that aligns with the role and helps you to stand out;
• Closing paragraph - leaving a great impression and ending with an optional signature.

Use a cover letter template to discover the best formatting for your leasing consultant cover letter: that is single-spaced paragraphs and wrapping your content in a one-inch margin.

Ensure that both your resume and leasing consultant cover letter are in the same font . Stand apart from the crowd by using modern, yet simple fonts, like Chivo and Rubik, instead of the overused Arial and Times New Roman.

Did you know that the Applicant Tracker System (or ATS) won't be assessing your leasing consultant cover letter? Instead, submit your profile in PDF to recruiters to keep the same formatting and the design intact.

The top sections on a leasing consultant cover letter

• Header: This should include the applicant’s name, address, phone number, email, and date which are essential for the recruiter to identify and contact the candidate, followed by the employer's contact information.
• Opening Greeting: Tailor this section with the hiring manager's name if possible, demonstrating attention to detail and a personalized approach, which is key in a customer-centric role like leasing consulting.
• Introduction: Briefly state the purpose of the letter, the specific leasing consultant position being applied for, and a compelling reason why the candidate is interested in this role, showcasing enthusiasm and genuine interest.
• Body: Highlight relevant experience in real estate or customer service, discussing specific skills like sales abilities, knowledge of leasing laws, and relationship-building that are critical for a successful leasing consultant.
• Closing: Politely express anticipation for an interview, affirm your enthusiasm for the opportunity, and include a proactive statement about following up, which reflects the proactive engagement necessary in the leasing industry.

Key qualities recruiters search for in a candidate’s cover letter

What greeting should you use in your leasing consultant cover letter salutation

A simple "Hello" or "Hey" just won't work.

With your leasing consultant cover letter salutation , you set the tone of the whole communication.

You should thus address the hiring managers by using their first (or last name) in your greeting.

But how do you find out who's recruiting for the role?

The easiest way is to look up the role on LinkedIn or the corporate website.

Alternatively, you could also contact the organization via social media or email, for more information.

Unable to still obtain the recruiter's name?

Don't go down the "To whom it may concern path". Instead, start your cover letter with a "Dear HR team".

List of salutations you can use

• Dear Hiring Manager,
• Dear [Company Name] Team,
• Dear [Department] Team,
• Dear [Hiring Manager's Name],
• Dear [Mr./Ms. Last Name],
• Good day [Hiring Manager's Name],

Using your leasing consultant cover letter intro to show your dedication

We know just how difficult it is to start writing your leasing consultant cover letter introduction .

There are so many great qualities you have as a professional, which one should you choose?

How about writing up to two sentences about your passion and commitment to the work you do or are set to do?

Try to describe exactly what you enjoy about the potential role.

A positive attitude from the get-go will help you stand out as a motivated leasing consultant professional.

Structuring your leasing consultant cover letter body to add more value

You've hinted at your value as a professional (this may be your passion for the job or interest in the company) in your introduction.

Next, it's time to pan out the body or middle of your leasing consultant cover letter .

When creating your resume, you've probably gone over the advert a million times to select the most relevant skills.

Well, it's time to repeat this activity. Or just copy and paste your previous list of job-crucial requirements.

Then, select one of your past accomplishments, which is relevant and would impress hiring managers.

Write between three and six paragraphs to focus on the value your professional achievement would bring to your potential, new organization.

Tell a story around your success that ultimately shows off your real value as a professional.

A sincere and original way to end your leasing consultant cover letter

When writing their leasing consultant cover letter, candidates tend to use one of these phrases, "Sincerely yours" or "I look forward to hearing from you".

Both statements show good manners, but your cover letter should end in a more actionable manner .

Write about:

• how you see yourself growing in the role/organization;
• the benefits you would bring about (you'd impress even more with tangible metrics);
• the next steps in the process (provide your availability for interviews).

What to write on your leasing consultant cover letter, when you have zero experience

The best advice for candidates, writing their leasing consultant cover letters with no experience , is this - be honest.

If you have no past professional roles in your portfolio, focus recruiters' attention on your strengths - like your unique, transferrable skill set (gained as a result of your whole life), backed up by one key achievement.

Or, maybe you dream big and have huge motivation to join the company. Use your leasing consultant cover letter to describe your career ambition - that one that keeps you up at night, dreaming about your future.

Finally, always ensure you've answered why employers should hire precisely you and how your skills would benefit their organization.

Key takeaways

Summarizing the most important aspects in writing your leasing consultant cover letter, remember to:

• Create a personalized leasing consultant cover letter for each role you apply for, that includes the recruiter's name in the salutation;
• Format your leasing consultant cover letter with single-spacing, one-inch margins, and a modern, yet ATS-friendly font;
• Always start off your leasing consultant cover letter with two sentences that reflect what is most important about your application;
• Your leasing consultant cover letter body should feature your biggest accomplishments and the job-relevant skills it has taught you;
• Instead of opting for the "Sincerely yours" ending, close your leasing consultant cover letter with a nod to the future with what you aim to achieve in this potential role.
