Leasing Consultant - Alternative Schedule

Leasing is one of the few entry points into property management where the ceiling is genuinely high. Traffic converts to signed leases, leases build occupancy, and occupancy drives NOI. The people who understand that connection early tend to move fast. This role at Weinstein Properties in Cumming, GA is a real starting point for that trajectory.

Weinstein is a family-owned operator with more than 70 years in the business and over 60 communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. That kind of longevity in a consolidating industry means something. They're not a REIT optimizing for quarterly earnings. They run their properties hands-on, and they've built a reputation for training people from scratch rather than just hiring experience. The Bexley Westshore community in Cumming is where this particular role sits.

The Schedule and What It Actually Means

This is an alternative schedule position, which is worth understanding before you apply. You'll work five days a week including Saturdays, with Sundays and one weekday off. Weekday hours run 9am to 6pm; Saturdays are 9am to 5pm. Weinstein pays an extra $80 per pay period specifically for this schedule commitment. Saturday availability is genuinely valuable in leasing because that's when most prospective residents tour. If you can work Saturdays consistently, you're covering the highest-traffic window of the week.

Pay starts at $20 per hour and increases with experience, plus quarterly bonuses. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401k with company match, paid holidays, vacation and sick time, birthday time off, a rent discount, and an Employee Assistance Program.

What You're Actually Building Here

No leasing experience is required. Weinstein is explicit about this, and it's not just recruiting language. They're looking for communication skills, a customer-first approach, and the ability to stay organized when priorities shift. The role covers a real range: guiding prospects through tours and applications, handling resident concerns, supporting property appearance, and managing administrative work. Nobody does just one thing.

• Strong verbal and written communication, comfortable with both in-person and digital interactions
• A genuine interest in helping people find a home, not just closing a deal
• Comfort with a physical, on-your-feet role that includes walking the property and inspecting units
• Ability to stay organized and composed when the day doesn't go as planned
• Team orientation over individual credit

What separates strong candidates here isn't polish or a resume full of property management titles. It's consistency. Showing up with the same energy on a slow Tuesday as on a busy Saturday open house, following through on administrative tasks that don't feel glamorous, and building resident relationships that reduce turnover before it starts. Those habits, built early in a leasing role, translate directly into assistant manager and property manager positions down the road. Many of Weinstein's current leaders came up through leasing. That's not a marketing line; it's how the company is structured.

If you're coming from retail, hospitality, customer service, or any role where you've managed people and competing priorities at the same time, the skill set is closer than you think.
