Comstock has built a reputation in the DMV as one of the more serious mixed-use developers working the transit-oriented corridor, and their Reston presence reflects that. This leasing consultant position sits at a luxury high-rise community where the product sells itself to a point, but converting traffic into signed leases still takes real skill. Reston's rental market draws a tech-forward, commuter-conscious renter base, many of them relocating for work near the Dulles corridor or Silver Line stations. That buyer profile rewards consultants who can speak to lifestyle and convenience with specificity, not just show a unit and hand over a brochure.
The core of this role is owning the full leasing cycle. That means following up on leads before they go cold, walking prospects through the community with enough product knowledge to handle objections on the spot, preparing accurate lease paperwork, and tracking your own activity through weekly and monthly reporting. Yardi experience will help you hit the ground running, though it's listed as a plus rather than a requirement. You'll also carry some responsibility for the community's online presence, including social media, which at a high-rise property often means showcasing amenities, views, and local neighborhood context to prospects who are shopping remotely before they ever schedule a tour.
What separates strong candidates here from average ones is the ability to build genuine rapport quickly without losing the thread of the sales process. High-rise leasing at a community like this tends to attract prospects who've done their research. They're comparing you against other Class A options in Reston and Tysons. The consultants who perform well in that environment listen more than they pitch, know how to read where a prospect is in their decision timeline, and follow up in a way that feels helpful rather than pressured.
This kind of role is a real entry point into property management as a career. Leasing consultants who develop both their sales instincts and their administrative discipline often move into assistant manager or leasing manager positions within a few years. At a company with Comstock's portfolio depth, internal mobility is worth factoring into how you think about this opportunity.
