Leasing Consultant - Part Time

Weinstein Properties has been family-owned for over 70 years, and they still run things the way small operators do: hands-on, relationship-driven, and attentive to the day-to-day details that larger institutional owners tend to overlook. They own and manage more than 60 apartment communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. This part-time leasing role serves two of their Cary/Morrisville communities, Bexley Panther Creek and Bexley at Preston, and it's a real working position with real expectations attached.

Twenty hours a week, most Saturdays included, with weekday scheduling that has some flexibility depending on what you can commit to. The pay starts at $18/hour and goes up based on experience, with quarterly bonuses on top. That's a reasonable structure for part-time leasing work, and the bonus component means your effort actually shows up in your paycheck.

The role itself covers the full leasing cycle: greeting prospects, touring apartments, following up on leads, and converting traffic into signed leases. But it's not only sales. You'll handle administrative work, respond to resident concerns, help with the appearance of the community, and occasionally support resident events or step in during weather-related situations. If you're expecting to clock in, run a few tours, and leave, that's not quite what this is. Everyone on site does a bit of everything.

Weinstein is direct about one thing: prior leasing experience isn't required. They train from the ground up and say some of their strongest consultants came in with no industry background at all. What they're actually screening for is work ethic, communication, and a genuine interest in helping people find a place to live. That said, if you've worked in retail, hospitality, or any customer-facing sales role, that experience translates cleanly to leasing work.

What separates solid leasing consultants from average ones in a setup like this is follow-through. Traffic and tours are the visible part of the job. The less glamorous part is consistent follow-up, accurate guest card documentation, and staying organized when the leasing office gets busy on a Saturday afternoon with three prospects waiting and a resident at the desk. The people who do well here are the ones who stay composed when that happens and don't let things fall through the cracks.

What you'll bring

• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Comfort with a sales-oriented, customer-service-heavy environment
• Ability to manage competing priorities without getting rattled
• Willingness to work most Saturdays consistently
• A team-first attitude. Credit-seeking doesn't work well in a small on-site team
• No leasing experience required, but relevant customer-facing experience is a plus

For the right person, part-time leasing at a well-run regional owner is a legitimate entry point into property management. Many people who start in leasing move into assistant manager or manager roles within a few years, and Weinstein says that path exists internally. Whether you're testing the industry or looking for a flexible role with growth potential, the setup here is honest about what it asks of you.
