Leasing Consultant - Dockside Apartments

What You'll Actually Do

This is a front-line leasing role at Dockside Apartments in Kent, WA. You're the first face prospective residents see, which means your energy and follow-through directly affect occupancy. The job covers the full leasing cycle: greeting and qualifying prospects, preparing and executing leases, coordinating move-ins with the maintenance team, and keeping rental files tight and current in the property management system. You'll also handle the day-to-day resident interactions that come with the territory, rent collection questions, maintenance follow-ups, the occasional complaint that needs a calm and professional hand.

The administrative side is real. Monthly reporting, organized paperwork, accurate data entry. It's not glamorous, but it's what keeps a property running cleanly. If you're someone who treats a punch list walkthrough and a lease signing with the same attention to detail, you'll fit in here.

One honest note: leasing roles require consistency on the days traffic is slow just as much as the days it's busy. The consultants who advance are the ones who treat a quiet Tuesday the same as a Saturday with five tours on the books.

What You Bring

• At least one year of property management experience (preferred, not required)
• Genuine sales ability backed by solid customer service instincts
• Professional communication, written and verbal
• Comfort working in a team environment where you're not the only moving part
• Accuracy and organization when managing lease files and entering data

The Bigger Picture

MG Properties has been acquiring, developing, and managing apartment communities across the Western U.S. for over 30 years. They're a company that promotes from within, which in our industry means something specific: leasing consultant roles routinely feed into assistant manager and manager positions when the person shows they can handle both the sales side and the operational side. If you're thinking about a career path in property management rather than just a job, that context matters.

Compensation runs $21.50 to $24.00 per hour depending on experience, with monthly and quarterly bonuses and a company profit-sharing program. The benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with employer match, paid holidays, sick time, and rental discounts. Kent sits in the south King County submarket, which has seen steady multifamily demand from the industrial and logistics employment base in the area. It's a working-class renter market that rewards consultants who can connect with a broad range of applicants and communicate clearly without a lot of pretense.
