Regional Leasing Consultant (Santa Clara)

Prometheus Real Estate Group operates a sizable portfolio of communities across the Bay Area, and this Regional Leasing Consultant role sits at the intersection of sales, customer service, and day-to-day leasing operations. At properties with real traffic volume, the person in this seat shapes occupancy numbers more directly than most people outside the leasing office realize.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

Your days will shift between guiding prospects through the leasing experience, handling the administrative side of the role (market surveys, rental agreements, ad postings, neighborhood reports), and making sure current residents feel genuinely taken care of. The sales piece is real: you're converting future residents into signed leases, which means understanding the product, reading the prospect, and knowing when to move someone forward. The admin piece is also real, and it's where a lot of newer leasing consultants get surprised. Good lease files and accurate reporting aren't glamorous, but they matter to how a property runs.

Weekend availability is required. That's not a footnote. Bay Area apartment communities see their heaviest foot traffic on Saturdays and Sundays, and Prometheus schedules accordingly. Your days off will fall mid-week. If that works for your life, great. If it doesn't, this particular role won't be a fit.

Compensation and Benefits

The hourly range runs $25.00 to $28.75, with a $200 per-lease incentive and a discretionary semi-annual bonus on top of that. Weekend shifts carry a premium. There are also additional bonus opportunities tied to referrals, renovations, and lease-up activity, which means a strong performer can meaningfully exceed base pay. Benefits include fully company-paid medical, vision, and dental (dependents included), 401(k) with employer match, tuition reimbursement, and tenure-based housing discounts, among others.

Who Does Well in This Role

• Prior customer-facing experience in any industry, not necessarily property management
• Comfortable with both the people side and the paperwork side of the job
• Self-directed enough to manage a busy leasing floor without waiting to be told what to do next
• Weekend availability that actually works with your schedule

For someone early in a property management career, this kind of role builds the foundation that makes everything else easier. Leasing consultants who get strong here tend to move into assistant manager or property manager roles faster than people who come in from the back-office side. You learn traffic, you learn what drives a lease decision, and you learn the operational rhythm of a property all at once. That's a solid starting point.
