Leasing Consultant- Russellville Commons

Leasing Consultant roles at established Western U.S. operators like MG Properties tend to be more substantive than they first appear. You're not just showing units. You're qualifying traffic, managing the full lease-up process from first contact to move-in, and sitting at the intersection of sales, compliance, and resident relations. That combination of skills, built consistently over a year or two, opens doors that surprise people.

What the Day-to-Day Looks Like

At Russellville Commons in Portland, you'll greet and qualify prospective residents, guide them through the application process, and coordinate with maintenance to make sure move-ins go cleanly. Punch list follow-through matters here because a rocky move-in often sets the tone for the entire residency. You'll prepare and oversee lease signings, keep rental files accurate and current, and enter data into the property management system with enough precision that reporting doesn't get muddied downstream.

Resident interaction doesn't stop at signing. You'll handle maintenance requests, field complaints professionally, and support rent collection follow-up. Monthly administrative tasks and paperwork organization also fall into your lane. MG Properties has been operating across the Western U.S. for over 30 years, so the systems and processes you'll work within are built by people who've seen a lot of property cycles.

What They're Looking For

• At least one year of property management experience (preferred, not required)
• Strong sales instincts and genuine customer service skills
• Comfort in a team environment where collaboration with maintenance is routine
• Professional communication, both written and verbal
• Accuracy with data entry and file management

Where This Role Can Lead

Leasing Consultant is one of the better starting points in residential property management because the skills compound fast. Learning to qualify applicants builds fair housing fluency. Coordinating move-ins builds operational instincts. Working delinquency conversations builds the resident relations muscle that Assistant Managers and Property Managers rely on constantly. MG Properties promotes from within, which means the path to a senior leasing or assistant manager title is a real near-term possibility if you perform and signal readiness. Companies with 30-plus years of acquisition and management history tend to have depth in their org charts, and that depth creates room to move.

The compensation package includes monthly and quarterly bonuses, profit sharing, a 401k with employer match, full medical, dental, and vision coverage, and a rental discount. PTO, paid holidays, personal days, and paid sick time are all included.
