Leasing Consultant (Montrose)

Leasing roles at apartment communities in the Bay Area carry real weight. Mountain View's rental market stays competitive year-round, and the person on the front line of touring, qualifying, and closing future residents directly affects occupancy and NOI. This is that front-line role.

What the Job Actually Involves

Prometheus calls this position a Regional Neighbor Ambassador, which reflects something real about the scope. You're not just running tours and collecting applications. On any given day you might be conducting a market survey in the morning, preparing rental agreements at midday, posting updated availability, and then pivoting back to a walk-in prospect who has questions about move-in timelines. The mix of sales, customer service, and administrative work is genuine.

Weekends are a required part of the schedule. Traffic peaks on Saturdays and Sundays, so that's when the community needs coverage. Your regular days off will fall during the week. That trade-off is worth understanding before you apply.

Pay starts at $25.00 to $26.25 per hour, with a $200 incentive per signed lease on top of base. There's also a discretionary semi-annual bonus, weekend shift premium pay, and additional bonuses tied to referrals, lease-up performance, and training. Benefits include 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and eligible dependents.

Who Fits This Role

Prometheus explicitly hires across industries. A background in retail, hospitality, or any customer-facing sales environment translates well here. Prior property management experience isn't required.

Strong candidates in leasing roles like this one tend to share a few traits worth calling out:

• They move between tasks without losing momentum. Leasing offices don't queue work neatly.
• They follow up. A prospect who tours on Saturday and doesn't hear back by Monday afternoon is likely already looking elsewhere.
• They can read what a prospect actually needs and adjust their approach, rather than running the same script on everyone.
• They handle administrative details accurately. Errors in rental agreements or lease files create downstream problems for the whole team.

This role sits at the entry point of a property management career path that can move toward assistant manager, property manager, and eventually regional or portfolio-level positions. The administrative and sales exposure you get here builds a foundation that transfers directly into those steps.
