Leasing Consultant

Leasing Consultant roles at family-owned operators tend to look different than those at institutional REITs. Weinstein Properties has run apartment communities for over 70 years under the same family ownership, and that hands-on culture shows up in how they hire and train. At Bexley Village at Concord Mills, this position sits at the front line of occupancy: every tour, every follow-up call, every lease signed moves the needle directly.

The Work Itself

Your days will mix sales, service, and light administrative work in roughly equal measure. You'll greet prospects, guide them through tours, and work to convert traffic into signed leases. Between tours, you'll handle resident concerns, help keep the property presentable, and process the paperwork that keeps the office moving. Saturdays rotate among the team, and the occasional resident event or weather-related situation may pull you outside normal hours. The schedule is weekdays 9 to 6 and Saturdays 9 to 5, with Sundays off.

Pay starts at $18/hour and increases with experience. Quarterly bonuses are part of the compensation structure, which means your leasing performance has a direct line to your paycheck. Benefits include health, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k, PTO, paid holidays, a birthday day off, an Employee Assistance Program, and a rent discount.

What Weinstein Is Actually Looking For

Prior leasing experience is genuinely optional here. Weinstein has a documented track record of building strong consultants from scratch, so the hiring criteria centers on character over credentials. The traits that matter:

• Clear, warm communication in person and in writing
• Genuine interest in helping people solve problems
• Comfort with shifting priorities and an active, on-your-feet workday
• A team-first attitude. Everyone pitches in on tasks that fall outside the strict job description
• Goal orientation and the self-motivation to follow up consistently

What separates strong candidates from average ones in a role like this is follow-through after the tour. Plenty of people can give a pleasant showing. The consultants who move occupancy are the ones who follow up on time, remember details from the conversation, and close without being pushy. That skill is part instinct, part habit, and Weinstein's training is built to develop both.

Where This Role Can Go

Weinstein operates more than 60 communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. Leasing Consultant is the standard entry point into property management careers at operators this size, and the path forward is real. Many of their current site managers and corporate staff started in leasing roles. If you perform, the progression to Assistant Manager and eventually Property Manager is a documented pattern at this company, not just a line in a job posting.
