Leasing Consultant

What You'll Actually Do

This role sits at the front line of a student housing community in San Marcos, Texas, home to Texas State University. As an Experience Team Member (Scion's title for a leasing consultant), you're the first person a prospective resident meets, the one who turns a tour into a signed lease, and often the person a current resident calls when something goes sideways after hours. The work combines genuine sales with community building. You'll conduct tours, field objections, assist with social media content, help plan resident events, and keep the office and common areas in shape. Package logging, maintenance request follow-ups, and lockout calls are part of the rotation too. None of it is glamorous in isolation, but together it forms the full picture of how a student housing community actually runs.

San Marcos is a college town where lease-up season is intense and turn is one of the most compressed, high-stakes periods in student housing. If you're here for a summer, expect turn to test your stamina. Move-outs, inspections, make-readies, and new move-ins stack on top of each other in a narrow window. How you handle that period will say more about your aptitude for property management than anything else on your resume.

What You Bring

• A customer-first approach that holds up under pressure, not just during slow office hours
• Clear, confident communication across a diverse resident population
• Reliability during critical coverage periods: summers, holidays, and turn
• Comfort with after-hours on-call responsibilities, including lockouts
• Self-discipline to manage administrative tasks without constant direction
• Eligibility to work in the United States (visa sponsorship is not available)

What This Role Builds

Strong candidates here aren't just friendly. They close. There's a real distinction between someone who gives a good tour and someone who listens for objections, addresses them directly, and moves a prospect toward a decision. Scion operates in a competitive student housing market where traffic matters and every leased bed counts. The ability to articulate what makes the community worth the rent, and to do it naturally, is what separates a top-performing ETM from someone just filling a shift.

Beyond the immediate role, this position builds a skill set that transfers directly into assistant manager or leasing manager roles. You'll develop working knowledge of property operations, resident relations, and marketing execution. People who take this role seriously and show aptitude for the administrative and sales sides tend to move up within student housing portfolios or transition into conventional multifamily with a concrete track record behind them.
