Leasing Consultant

A prospective resident fills out an online form at 11pm. By the time they're checking email the next morning, you've already followed up with a personalized note about the community. That's the rhythm of this role.

What This Job Actually Involves

Bozzuto is hiring a Leasing Consultant at their Santa Clara, CA community. The core of the job is converting interest into signed leases. That means following up with every lead, conducting tours that feel personal rather than scripted, and staying consistent enough with the resident experience that people tell their friends.

You'll also manage social media presence for the community. Think Instagram and Facebook content that reflects the property's personality, not just stock photos and generic captions. This is a sales role with a marketing component built in.

The schedule runs three weekends per month, with two weekdays off in exchange. Weekends are when traffic peaks, so that's when the role earns its value.

Base salary runs $48,000 to $52,000 annually, with additional bonus opportunities on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

What Bozzuto Expects From You

• Strong written and verbal communication. You're often the first human voice a prospect hears.
• Comfort with social media platforms, specifically Facebook and Instagram, and an ability to create content that actually gets attention
• A sales instinct. You can read what a prospect needs and adjust your approach accordingly.
• Professional presentation. Bozzuto operates in a premium space; appearance and demeanor reflect the brand.
• Competency with software, apps, and general tech tools used in leasing operations

What separates strong candidates here is follow-through. Average leasing consultants give a good tour. Strong ones follow up the same day, answer questions before the prospect thinks to ask them, and keep the relationship warm through the application process. Santa Clara's rental market is competitive, and prospects are often comparing several communities at once. The consultants who close are the ones who stay in the conversation longest.

This role is a common entry point into property management careers. Leasing consultants who perform well often move into Assistant Community Manager roles, which brings exposure to financials, delinquency, and operations. It's a practical foundation for anyone who wants to manage a property rather than just lease it.
