Leasing Consultant - Olympus Falcon Landing

Leasing is a skill set, not just a personality type. The best consultants know how to read a prospect's hesitation, adjust their pitch mid-tour, and close without being pushy. They also know how to pivot from a lease signing to a maintenance call to a renewal conversation inside the same hour. If that kind of range sounds normal to you, this role at Olympus Falcon Landing in Katy, TX is worth a close look.

What This Role Actually Requires

The leasing consultant is the first real impression a prospect gets of the property, and the ongoing face residents see when something's wrong. That dual function demands more than a friendly attitude. You'll need genuine product knowledge: floor plan differences, unit locations, amenity details, pricing variations. Prospects ask detailed questions, and vague answers cost leases.

On the sales side, you'll work traffic from multiple channels, including locator referrals and walk-ins, and you'll be expected to hit monthly leasing goals. Commission and renewal bonuses are part of the compensation structure here, which means your income has real upside tied directly to your close rate. Base pay starts in the $18.50 to $19.25 per hour range, and the bonus structure adds meaningful earning potential on top of that.

Administratively, the job carries a full paperwork load: lease preparation, database entry, move-in coordination. None of that is glamorous, but it's where errors create real problems for residents and the team. Accuracy matters as much as salesmanship.

The Schedule Is Worth Understanding Before You Apply

This is a full-time, seven-day-operation role. Weekday hours run 9 AM to 6 PM, and both Saturday and Sunday are required. Monthly after-hours commitments exist for resident events, with dates and frequency that shift. If your availability doesn't accommodate weekends consistently, this role isn't the right fit. That's not a knock on the job. It's just the reality of leasing in residential multifamily.

Olympus lists bilingual ability as preferred, which reflects the Katy market. The Houston metro's west suburbs have a substantial Spanish-speaking population, and a bilingual consultant can connect with a wider prospect pool and handle resident concerns more effectively. It's a practical advantage, not a checkbox.

What Sets Strong Candidates Apart Here

At least one year of apartment leasing experience is required. Beyond that baseline, the consultants who tend to thrive in roles like this are the ones who treat renewals as seriously as new leases. Occupancy is easier to maintain than to recover, and a consultant who builds genuine relationships with current residents directly supports renewal rates. That's a skill that compounds over time and one that property management companies notice when evaluating candidates for assistant manager tracks.

Olympus Property has been recognized as a top employer by the National Apartment Association three consecutive years (2023, 2024, 2025), which reflects something real about how the company manages its teams. Culture claims are easy to make. That kind of repeat recognition from an industry body is harder to manufacture.

• Minimum 1 year of apartment leasing experience required
