Leasing Consultant

Where Sales, Relationship-Building, and Campus Life Overlap

Student housing leasing runs on a different rhythm than conventional multifamily. Prospects are often first-time renters, their parents are frequently part of the conversation, and the leasing cycle compresses hard around academic calendars. At Redpoint Tempe, a Scion Group community serving the Arizona State University market, the Experience Team Member role sits at the center of all of it. This is a position built around interpersonal skill, and it calls on that skill constantly.

You'll conduct community and amenity tours, handle prospect follow-up, and execute sales and engagement initiatives set by the management team. Beyond the leasing floor, the role pulls in light marketing work: contributing ideas for local outreach, helping manage social media presence, and assisting with resident events. Property administration is part of the mix too. Package retrieval, office organization, maintenance request coordination, and after-hours lockout coverage all fall within scope. The range is real, and candidates who prefer narrow, task-specific work tend to find student housing ETM roles uncomfortable.

The Skills This Role Develops and Demands

Strong candidates bring communication skills that adapt quickly. You might be walking a high-energy sophomore through a floor plan, then shifting to a detailed phone call with a concerned parent, then following up with a prospect who raised objections during a tour earlier in the week. The ability to read a situation and adjust tone without losing momentum is the core competency here.

Reliability matters more than most postings acknowledge. Student housing turns are concentrated and intense. When the summer turn hits at a property like this, everyone is needed and tardiness or inconsistency creates real downstream problems for the operations team. Scion specifically requires availability during turn periods, summer, and holidays. That's not boilerplate. It reflects how student housing actually works.

• Customer-facing communication with a diverse population of residents, prospects, and guarantors
• Sales and objection handling at the leasing level
• Social media and community engagement support
• Package management, office maintenance, and general administrative support
• After-hours on-call rotation for lockout assistance
• Maintenance request tracking and follow-up coordination

What Makes This Role at Scion Worth Noting

Scion Group operates at scale in the student housing sector, which means the systems, training, and operational standards here are more developed than what you'd find at a smaller independent operator. For someone early in a property management career, that structure matters. The skills you build in a student housing ETM role, specifically high-volume prospect communication, creative marketing execution, and turn-cycle operations, transfer directly to conventional multifamily leasing roles and set a strong foundation for moving into assistant manager or leasing manager positions over time.

Tempe's rental market around ASU is genuinely competitive, with a steady supply of purpose-built student communities. That means leasing here isn't passive. Traffic needs to be converted with intention, and the feedback you provide to management about sales barriers and objections has real operational value. Candidates who treat that feedback loop seriously tend to stand out.
