Leasing Consultant

Leasing consultant roles at family-owned, multi-state operators tend to look different from those at institutional REITs. The training is more hands-on, the culture tends to be less siloed, and the people who rise fast are usually the ones who treat the job as a craft rather than a stepping stone. That's the environment Weinstein Properties has built over 70 years of continuous family ownership, and their opening at Bexley Westshore in Cumming, GA reflects that philosophy.

What the Role Actually Involves

This position covers the full leasing cycle: greeting prospects, conducting tours, following up on leads, and converting traffic into signed leases. But it also extends into the day-to-day work that keeps a community running well. You'll handle administrative tasks, respond to resident concerns, help maintain the appearance of the property, and assist with resident events when they come up. Weinstein is direct about this: everyone does a bit of everything. If you're someone who counts tasks and guards job descriptions, this probably isn't the right fit. If you like variety and want to understand how a property actually operates, it's a solid environment to learn in.

The schedule is worth understanding clearly. This is an alternate schedule position, working Saturdays and one weekday off each week. Hours run 9am to 6pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on Saturdays. Sundays are always off. Weinstein pays an additional $80 per pay period bonus for this schedule, which compounds meaningfully over a year on top of the base hourly rate starting at $20. If you have flexibility on which weekday you take off, that can also be accommodated.

What Weinstein Is Looking For

Prior leasing experience isn't required. Weinstein trains from the ground up, and they're direct about preferring attitude and drive over a polished resume. That said, the candidates who tend to thrive here share a few specific traits:

• Strong verbal and written communication, especially the ability to listen well before responding
• Genuine comfort with customer-facing work, including difficult conversations with residents
• The organizational discipline to manage administrative tasks alongside a busy leasing floor
• Physical readiness for a role that keeps you moving: walking units, inspecting make-ready homes, and staying engaged throughout the day
• A team orientation where pitching in outside your lane is the norm, not the exception

Where This Role Leads

Leasing consultant is one of the best entry points in property management because the skills compound quickly. You develop sales instincts, customer service depth, and operational awareness simultaneously. At Weinstein specifically, many current managers and corporate team members started in leasing. The path from consultant to assistant manager to property manager is well-worn here, and the company has enough geographic scale across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia to support lateral moves and promotions without having to leave the organization. If your goal is eventually managing a community's full NOI performance, understanding leasing fundamentals first makes you a sharper operator later.

Benefits include health, dental and vision insurance, a 401k with company match, rent discount, paid holidays, birthday time off, vacation and sick time, and an Employee Assistance Program. Quarterly bonuses are also part of the compensation structure beyond the hourly rate.
