Leasing Consultant (Aldon at Powell & Broad Apartments)

A prospective resident walks in on a Saturday morning, still deciding between two communities. How you greet them, what you know about the floor plans, and how well you listen to what they actually need will likely determine whether Aldon at Powell & Broad ends up on their short list. That's the job in its most concentrated form.

What This Role Covers Day to Day

Van Metre is hiring a Leasing Consultant for Aldon at Powell & Broad, a residential community in Fuquay-Varina, NC. This is a front-line leasing role where you'll own the full prospect-to-resident experience: fielding inquiries, conducting tours, processing applications, and following up consistently enough to convert traffic into signed leases. Occupancy and retention both fall within your scope, which means your work doesn't stop at move-in. Lease renewals, resident check-ins, and helping coordinate community events are all part of keeping the community running well.

You'll also do the ground-level property work that keeps the product sharp. Three exterior inspections per week, vacant unit walkthroughs, and timely reporting of maintenance needs to the service team are standard expectations. Grassroots marketing efforts to build traffic round out the sales side of the position. Weekend availability is required.

What Van Metre Is Looking For

• Background in customer service, sales, hospitality, or a related field
• Prior leasing or property management experience preferred
• Comfortable conducting interior and exterior inspections in all weather conditions
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Organized, goal-oriented, and able to manage competing priorities without losing track of follow-up
• Bilingual candidates are preferred
• Social media savvy is a plus for community engagement and marketing efforts

Compensation runs $18 to $20 per hour depending on experience, with up to $5,000 in annual bonus potential plus leasing and renewal commissions. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a company-matched 401(k), tuition reimbursement, up to $900 in annual wellness reimbursement, and a notably generous PTO structure that includes holidays, sick days, volunteer days, personal days, a winter break, and even a day off for your birthday.

One thing worth knowing about this market: Fuquay-Varina sits in the southern Wake County corridor, an area that has seen consistent population growth as residents look for alternatives to higher-cost Raleigh submarkets. That growth has produced real leasing competition in the area, which means strong follow-up habits and genuine product knowledge will separate you from an average candidate far more than a polished tour script alone. Prospects here are often cross-shopping multiple new communities, and the consultants who build actual rapport during follow-up calls tend to win the lease.
