Leasing Consultant

Skills That Drive This Role

Leasing is fundamentally a people skill. The ability to read a room, listen past the surface question, and make someone feel genuinely welcomed matters far more here than knowing what an NOI is on day one. At Bexley Steelecroft in Charlotte's Steele Creek area, Weinstein Properties is looking for a Leasing Consultant who leads with warmth and follows through with organization. If you've worked in hospitality, retail, customer service, or any role where you had to earn someone's trust quickly, you already have the foundation this job builds on.

Strong written communication matters too. You'll respond to inquiries, follow up with prospects, and handle resident correspondence regularly. Clear, friendly writing that doesn't feel robotic is a real differentiator in leasing, and it's something Weinstein trains for if you're still developing it.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Day to day, you're the first face prospects see and often the first call a current resident makes when something needs attention. You'll guide people through tours, field questions about availability and pricing, and help move them from interested to signed. But the role extends well beyond that transaction. Inspecting homes, supporting the property's overall appearance, handling administrative work, and addressing resident concerns are all part of the regular rhythm. Saturdays rotate among the team, so the schedule is manageable, and Sundays are off entirely.

Weinstein is direct about expectations: this is a high-energy, on-your-feet position. Some days you'll shift gears a dozen times before lunch. The people who do well here aren't thrown by that. They actually prefer it.

Compensation starts at $18 per hour and increases with experience, plus quarterly bonuses. Benefits include a rent discount, health, dental, and vision coverage, PTO, paid holidays, birthday time off, and a 401k.

What Makes Weinstein Worth Considering

Weinstein Properties has been family-owned for over 70 years, with more than 60 communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. That kind of longevity in property management doesn't happen without genuine investment in the people running the properties. They're candid that many of their current leaders started in leasing roles exactly like this one. The career path is real: strong leasing consultants move into assistant manager roles, then property management, and sometimes into regional or corporate positions. The training program is hands-on and structured, which matters if you're newer to the industry.

One thing worth knowing: leasing roles at family-operated companies tend to carry a different accountability than at large institutional operators. There's less anonymity. Your contributions are noticed, and so are gaps. That's a genuine advantage if you're motivated and want recognition to feel personal rather than procedural. It also means the culture is collaborative in a practical sense. Everyone pitches in, and that expectation is consistent across the team.

• Prior leasing experience is not required
• Strong interpersonal and written communication skills are essential
• Comfort with a varied, active daily schedule is important
• Goal orientation and follow-through matter more than a polished resume
