Leasing Consultant - Part Time

Skills That Drive This Role

Leasing is equal parts sales, hospitality, and administration, and this part-time role with Weinstein Properties calls on all three. The skills you'll use most: active listening, written and verbal communication, time management across a short shift, and the ability to read what a prospect actually needs versus what they say they want. Weinstein explicitly values these traits over prior leasing experience, which makes this a genuine entry point into property management for someone coming from retail, hospitality, or customer service.

The Cary/Morrisville corridor is one of the more competitive apartment submarkets in the Triangle. Proximity to RTP, SAS, and a steady stream of corporate relocations means prospects are often comparing several communities in a single weekend. Your ability to connect quickly, answer questions confidently, and follow up well can be the difference between a signed lease and a lost lead.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

This is a 20-hour-per-week position, and Saturdays are a consistent part of the schedule. Most of your time will be spent interacting with prospective residents: touring apartments, answering questions about availability and pricing, and guiding people through the application process. But it doesn't stop there. You'll also handle administrative tasks, help maintain the appearance of the property, and respond to current resident concerns when they come up. On a busy Saturday, you might tour four prospects, process an application, walk a vacant unit for a quick inspection, and help resolve a parking question before your shift ends.

Weinstein runs a hands-on training program, so prior leasing experience isn't required. What you do need is the kind of attitude that doesn't deflate when priorities shift mid-morning. Property leasing moves in bursts. Quiet stretches, then three people walk in at once. Adaptability isn't a soft skill here; it's a core job requirement.

What Makes Weinstein Worth Considering

Weinstein Properties has been family-owned for more than 70 years, with a portfolio of over 60 communities across five states. That kind of longevity in property management typically signals stable operations and consistent culture, not a company that's perpetually restructuring. For a part-time leasing role, that matters. You're more likely to get real training, consistent management, and a clear path forward if you want it.

Speaking of paths: leasing consultant roles at well-run operators are a well-worn entry point into property management careers. Many Assistant Managers and Community Managers started exactly here, learning traffic patterns, conversion rates, and resident relations before stepping into full operational responsibility. Weinstein notes this directly, and it's consistent with how the broader industry works.

• Starting pay at $18/hour, with increases based on experience
• Quarterly bonuses on top of hourly pay
• Flexible weekday scheduling around the Saturday requirement
• No prior leasing experience required
• Opportunities to grow into full-time and leadership roles

If you're organized, genuinely enjoy working with people, and want to build real skills in a field with strong career upside, this role is worth a close look.
