Leasing Consultant (Mansion Grove)

It's a Saturday afternoon, the leasing office is buzzing, and three prospects are touring back-to-back while two more are waiting to ask questions. This is a normal weekend at Mansion Grove, and it's where this role earns its keep.

Prometheus Real Estate Group is the largest privately held apartment owner in the Bay Area, with a portfolio of over 13,000 units across Silicon Valley, Portland, and Seattle. They've been at it since 1965, and as a vertically integrated company with in-house acquisitions, development, value-add, and operations, they move differently than a typical third-party management shop. This is a company that holds assets long-term and reinvests in them. That context matters when you're talking to a prospect about why they should call a Prometheus community home.

What This Role Actually Involves

Prometheus calls the position "Neighbor Ambassador" rather than Leasing Consultant, and it's not just branding. The scope is wider than a standard leasing role. You're managing traffic, guiding prospects through the leasing process, and working to close on applications. You're also handling the administrative side: market surveys, rental agreement prep, occupancy reporting, and keeping listings current. Customer service doesn't stop at move-in. Existing residents are your neighbors too, and keeping them feeling at home is part of the job description.

Weekend availability is required. Traffic peaks on Saturdays and Sundays, and your days off will fall on weekdays instead. That's a real scheduling consideration worth thinking through before you apply.

What Prometheus Is Looking For

• A background in customer service, sales, or a client-facing environment (prior property management experience is not required)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently without waiting to be told what to do next
• Comfort with administrative tasks alongside the people-facing side of the role
• Weekend availability as a consistent part of your schedule
• A personality that fits a team-oriented, entrepreneurial culture

Compensation runs $25.00 to $28.75 per hour, with a $200 incentive per lease signed, a discretionary semi-annual bonus, and a weekend shift premium. There are additional bonus opportunities tied to referrals, training, renovations, lease-up performance, and occupancy contests. Benefits include company-paid medical, vision, and dental for employees and eligible dependents, 401(k) with employer matching, paid holidays including your birthday, and tenure-based housing discounts, among others.

One thing worth noting for candidates thinking about where this role leads: leasing consultant positions at well-run companies like this are a legitimate on-ramp into property management. The administrative exposure you get here, including occupancy tracking, market comps, and lease execution, builds a foundation that transfers directly to an Assistant Manager or Property Manager track. Prometheus's scale across the Bay Area means internal mobility is a real option, not just a line in a job posting.
