Leasing Consultant (Hearth)

A prospective resident walks in on a Saturday afternoon, unsure whether a studio or one-bedroom fits their budget. By the time they leave, they've toured the apartment, asked every question they had, and feel genuinely good about the decision in front of them. That moment is the center of this role.

What This Role Actually Covers

Prometheus Real Estate Group calls this position a Neighbor Ambassador rather than a Leasing Consultant, and that distinction reflects how the job is structured. You're responsible for the full leasing cycle: responding to inquiries, guiding prospects through tours, preparing rental agreements, and following up to convert interest into signed leases. At the same time, you're a day-to-day point of contact for current residents, which means customer service runs alongside sales rather than separate from it.

The administrative layer is real and worth understanding before you apply. You'll conduct market surveys, generate neighborhood reports, and post apartment listings. These tasks build operational fluency that most entry-level leasing roles don't offer as deliberately. If you've worked in retail, hospitality, or any customer-facing sales environment, the interpersonal skills transfer directly. The property management side is what you'll build here.

Weekend availability is a firm requirement. Leasing traffic peaks on Saturdays and Sundays, so your regular days off will fall during the week. This schedule suits some people well and frustrates others. Know which category you fall into before you apply.

Qualifications and Compensation

Prometheus hires across industries and doesn't require prior property management experience. What they're looking for is genuine customer orientation, comfort in a sales environment, and the kind of self-direction that makes someone effective without constant supervision. Strong written communication matters too, since much of the administrative work involves drafting-facing content and reports.

Compensation for this role includes:

• Hourly pay range of $25.00 to $26.25, plus a weekend shift premium
• $200 per lease incentive
• Discretionary semi-annual bonus
• Additional bonuses tied to referrals, training, renovation projects, and lease-up assignments
• 100% company-paid medical, vision, and dental coverage including eligible dependents
• 401(k) with employer matching
• Tenure-based housing discounts
• Educational assistance and tuition reimbursement
• Paid volunteer time and 12 paid holidays, including your birthday

One thing worth noting for career-minded candidates: leasing consultant roles at well-structured companies like this one tend to feed directly into assistant manager and property manager tracks. The combination of sales performance, resident relations, and administrative exposure you get here covers the core competencies that most promotion decisions in property management are based on. If you treat this as a training ground rather than just a job, the path forward is clear.
