Leasing Consultant (Madera, 100 Moffett, & Hiro)

What This Role Is Really About

Leasing Consultant roles at larger property management companies often skew heavily toward sales metrics and not much else. Prometheus takes a different approach. This position, covering three Mountain View communities (Madera, 100 Moffett, and Hiro), blends genuine hospitality with the leasing fundamentals you'd expect: guiding prospects through tours, preparing rental agreements, conducting market surveys, and keeping occupancy healthy. You're not just filling units. You're the first real relationship a future resident builds with the community they'll call home.

Prometheus is the largest privately held apartment owner in the Bay Area, with over 13,000 units across Silicon Valley, Portland, and Seattle. They're vertically integrated, meaning acquisitions, development, value-add renovations, and property management all happen under one roof. That structure matters for someone in this role because decisions don't travel through layers of distant corporate bureaucracy. It also means there's genuine room to grow within the company once you've built your leasing foundation.

Day to Day

Your week will move between a few different modes. Some days you're in full leasing mode: responding to inquiries, booking and running tours, following up with prospects, and closing applications. Other days lean more administrative: pulling comp reports, posting availability, preparing lease documents, or helping with neighborhood-level reporting. And woven through all of it is resident interaction. Current residents have questions, maintenance concerns, and sometimes complaints. How you handle those moments shapes how a community actually feels to the people living there.

Weekend availability is a real requirement here, not a footnote. Saturday and Sunday are peak traffic days for apartment communities, and Prometheus structures schedules accordingly with weekday time off in return. If your personal commitments make consistent weekend availability difficult, that's worth thinking through honestly before applying.

• Guide prospective residents through the leasing process from first contact to signed lease
• Conduct market surveys and contribute to occupancy reporting
• Prepare and process rental agreements and related documentation
• Support current residents with day-to-day needs and service requests
• Represent the brand across three distinct Mountain View communities

Who Tends to Thrive Here

Prometheus hires across industries, so a background in hospitality, retail, or customer-facing service translates well. What separates stronger candidates isn't a leasing license or years of property management experience. It's the ability to read people quickly, communicate clearly under pressure, and stay organized when the weekend rush hits all three properties at once. The leasing skills can be taught. The interpersonal instincts are harder to develop on the job.

Compensation runs $25.00 to $28.75 per hour with a $200 per-lease incentive, a semi-annual discretionary bonus, and weekend shift premium pay. The benefits package is notably strong for this level of role: fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision (including eligible dependents), 401(k) with employer matching, tenure-based housing discounts, and tuition reimbursement. For someone treating this as a career entry point, those last two perks carry real long-term value.

This role is a legitimate on-ramp into property management. Leasing Consultants who learn the operational side of the business alongside the sales side often move into Assistant Manager or Property Manager roles within a few years. At a company with a portfolio this size, those paths exist internally.
