Leasing Consultant

Bozzuto operates across development, construction, and management, but the leasing consultant role is where their brand actually meets the resident. At a company with this kind of portfolio, you're expected to represent the property well from the first phone call through the signed lease.

What the Role Involves

This is a front-line leasing position at a Bozzuto-managed community in Newark, DE. The core work is converting prospect inquiries into tours and tours into leases. That means consistent follow-up with leads, delivering tours that are personalized rather than scripted, and keeping the resident experience solid enough that people actually want to renew. Bozzuto also expects their leasing staff to contribute to social media presence on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, so comfort with content creation is part of the job, not a bonus skill.

The schedule runs three weekends per month with two weekdays off in exchange. That's standard for leasing, since that's when traffic is highest. If you've worked a traditional Monday-Friday schedule and this is your first leasing role, the adjustment is real.

What Strong Candidates Actually Look Like

The candidates who do well in roles like this aren't just friendly. They're organized enough to manage a full pipeline, persistent enough to follow up without being pushy, and sharp enough to read what a prospect actually needs versus what they say they want. Written communication matters here too, not just verbal. Your email follow-up after a tour is often the difference between a lease and a loss.

• Customer-first mindset with genuine follow-through
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable with social media content creation (Facebook, Instagram)
• Professional presentation and sales instincts
• Proficient with software, apps, and property management platforms

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary for this role is $53,000, with additional bonus opportunities tied to performance. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement. Bozzuto has a documented track record of internal promotion, so leasing consultants who perform tend to have a clear path toward assistant manager and eventually property manager roles.

For someone early in their property management career, Bozzuto is a name that carries weight on a resume. The leasing skills you build here, pipeline management, closing, resident relations, translate directly into the operational side of the business if that's where you want to go.
