Leasing Consultant

Leasing is a people skill first. The ability to read a prospect's hesitation, pivot your pitch without making it feel like a pitch, and turn a casual tour into a signed lease, that's the core of what this role demands. Bozzuto is hiring a Leasing Consultant for their Clermont, FL community, and the skills that will carry you here are relational, communicative, and genuinely sales-minded in equal measure.

Skills This Role Puts to Work Daily

You'll spend a meaningful portion of your time converting inbound and outbound leads into scheduled tours, which means your written and verbal communication has to be sharp, warm, and persuasive without feeling scripted. Follow-up is where most leasing consultants either win or lose deals. Bozzuto expects you to stay on top of prospects with helpful, specific information about the community and the surrounding area, not just generic replies.

Touring skills matter just as much. A good tour isn't a walkthrough; it's a conversation where you listen for what the prospect actually values and connect it back to what the community offers. That takes curiosity and presence, not just a memorized script about square footage.

Social media is a genuine part of this job, not an afterthought. You'll create and post content on platforms like Facebook and Instagram to build community awareness and keep interest alive. Candidates who treat this as a creative outlet, rather than a chore, tend to do better here.

One honest note on schedule: this role requires working three weekends per month, with two weekday days off in exchange. Weekends are when most prospects are out looking, so it's where leasing happens. If your lifestyle can accommodate that rhythm, it works. If weekends are a hard limit, this role probably isn't the right fit.

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like

A typical day might start with reviewing new leads from overnight inquiries, sending personalized follow-ups, and confirming afternoon tours. Midday, you're walking prospects through the community, answering questions about lease terms, amenities, and the neighborhood. Clermont sits in Lake County, west of Orlando, with a growing residential base and strong demand from families and remote workers relocating from larger metros. Knowing the local area, nearby shopping, commute patterns, proximity to I-4 and the Turnpike, is a real advantage when talking to prospects who are still figuring out if Clermont is the right fit for them.

Between tours, you might be posting an Instagram story, updating your CRM notes, or following up with someone who toured last week and hasn't decided yet.

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

Bozzuto operates at a level where culture and resident experience are central to the brand, not just talking points. The consultants who thrive tend to genuinely care about the people moving in, not just closing the lease. That care shows up in the little things: remembering a prospect's dog's name, knowing which floor plan works for a home office, flagging a maintenance issue before a new resident notices it.

• Customer-focused mindset with real follow-through
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort with social media content creation
• Sales instincts paired with genuine warmth
• Proficiency with software, apps, and property management platforms
• Professional presentation and attention to detail

Compensation sits between $47,000 and $50,000 annually, with bonus opportunities on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401(k) with company match, and tuition reimbursement. For someone early in a property management career, this role builds a strong foundation. Leasing consultants who develop both their sales numbers and their resident relationship skills often move into assistant manager or leasing manager positions within a few years.
