Leasing Consultant

Most apartment companies want leasing consultants who already know the business. Weinstein Properties takes a different approach: they hire for attitude and train for skill. That's not a marketing line. Their internal track record backs it up, with many current managers who started exactly where this role begins.

The position is at Bexley Square at Concord Mills, one of Weinstein's 60-plus communities spread across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. The company is family-owned, Richmond-based, and has been running its own properties for over 70 years. No third-party management layers. The people making decisions are close to the work.

What the Job Actually Looks Like

You'll spend most of your day interacting with people: greeting walk-in traffic, following up with prospects, guiding apartment tours, and responding to resident questions. The administrative side is real too. Lease paperwork, follow-up calls, move-in coordination, and property walks are part of the routine. This isn't a role where you sit at a desk waiting for the phone to ring.

The schedule runs weekdays 9 to 6, Saturdays 9 to 5 on a team rotation, with Sundays off. Starting pay is $18 per hour, increases with experience, and the role includes quarterly bonuses. Benefits include rent discount, PTO, birthday time off, paid holidays, health, dental, and vision coverage, an Employee Assistance Program, and 401k.

What They're Looking For

• Strong communicator, comfortable in person and in writing
• Customer-first instinct: you solve problems without being asked twice
• Organized and goal-oriented, able to manage competing priorities mid-day
• Team-oriented: willing to pitch in outside your lane when the property needs it
• No prior leasing experience required, but prior sales, hospitality, or retail experience translates well

One thing worth knowing: leasing consultant roles at well-run companies like this one are genuinely strong career entry points. The skills you build here, qualifying prospects, closing leases, managing delinquency conversations, coordinating turns, reading occupancy trends, transfer directly to assistant manager and property manager roles. Weinstein has a stated pattern of promoting from within, and in property management, that path is faster than most people expect.

If you're coming from outside the industry, the adjustment is mostly about pace and multitasking. A busy Saturday with back-to-back tours, a resident complaint, and a lease renewal to process all happening at once is not unusual. The people who thrive here stay calm, stay organized, and don't need a quiet desk to get things done.
