Leasing Consultant

Miami Beach's rental market runs hot, and the leasing teams that perform there deal with a distinctive mix of short-term-minded prospects, international renters, and buyers-turned-renters who want to experience the market before committing. A Leasing Consultant role in that environment rewards people who can read a prospect quickly, adapt their pitch, and close without being pushy. Bozzuto, which manages a substantial portfolio of Class A communities up and down the East Coast and into Florida, brings a brand-oriented approach to leasing that leans on storytelling, resident experience, and strong digital presence.

What This Role Actually Involves

Your core job is converting interest into signed leases. That starts well before the tour: following up with leads, giving prospects the kind of neighborhood context they can't get from a listing site, and turning a phone call or email thread into a scheduled visit. On tour, you're not running a script. You're reading what matters to a specific person and connecting the apartment to their life.

Social media is a real part of the workload here, not an afterthought. Bozzuto expects its leasing teams to build community awareness through platforms like Instagram and Facebook, which means creating content that actually reflects the property's personality rather than posting generic graphics. If you've built a following or produced content that drove engagement, that's a genuine differentiator in this role.

Weekend availability is built into the schedule: three weekends per month, with two weekdays off in exchange. That's a standard trade-off in leasing, and in a market like Miami Beach where weekend foot traffic from prospects is significant, those Saturday and Sunday hours often drive a disproportionate share of monthly traffic and signed leases.

What Strong Candidates Bring

• A customer-first instinct that shows up in how you listen, not just how you talk
• Written and verbal communication skills that hold up across email, phone, and in-person
• Real comfort with social media content creation, including Instagram and Facebook
• Sales aptitude grounded in genuine problem-solving rather than pressure tactics
• Proficiency with leasing software, CRM tools, and general tech fluency
• A polished, professional presence that fits a Class A leasing environment

The candidates who stand out in roles like this aren't necessarily the highest-energy closers. They're the ones who make a prospect feel genuinely heard during a tour and follow up with something specific to the conversation, not a boilerplate email. In a coastal market where renters have options and can be selective, that quality of follow-through is what actually moves the needle on occupancy.

Compensation sits between $50,000 and $53,000 annually, with bonus eligibility on top of base. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401(k) with company match, and tuition reimbursement.
