Dear Mr. Laurent Martin,
I am excited to apply for the Leasing Assistant position at CBRE's Paris office. With three years of hands-on experience supporting leasing operations in both residential and commercial portfolios, I am enthusiastic about contributing to a market-leading team that values client service, operational excellence, and compliance. CBRE's reputation for delivering best-in-class property management solutions and its commitment to creating value for tenants and owners aligns closely with my professional goals.
In my current role at a boutique property management firm in Lyon, I manage the leasing lifecycle for over 120 residential units and five small commercial storefronts. I coordinate showings, process applications, draft lease agreements, and conduct move-in/move-out inspections. My efforts helped increase occupancy from 88% to 95% over 18 months and reduced average days on market for new listings by 30%. I also implemented a tenant communication template and follow-up schedule that improved lease renewal rates by 12% year-over-year. Technically, I am proficient with Yardi and MRI, fluent in MS Excel (including pivot tables and vlookups), and comfortable using digital signature platforms and cloud-based document management to streamline workflows.
Beyond transactional duties, I prioritize tenant satisfaction and regulatory compliance. I have experience handling sensitive tenant data in line with GDPR requirements, mediating disputes to achieve amicable outcomes, and coordinating with maintenance teams and external contractors to ensure timely repairs and minimal service disruption. Having collaborated with corporate clients and brokers from firms such as JLL and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield on joint leasing initiatives, I understand the high level of professionalism and attention to detail required to support strategic leasing objectives.
I am particularly drawn to CBRE's integrated approach to real estate services and its focus on leveraging technology and data to improve asset performance. My background in streamlining leasing processes, improving tenant retention, and supporting property teams would allow me to contribute immediately to your leasing operations. I am eager to bring my customer-focused mindset, organizational skills, and local market knowledge to support CBRE's growth in the Île-de-France region.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can support your leasing team and contribute to continued improvements in occupancy, tenant satisfaction, and operational efficiency. I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to the possibility of contributing to CBRE's success.
Sincerely,
Alexandre Moreau
