The Leasing Consultant greets prospective residents, assesses their housing needs, and conducts eligibility interviews. They showcase vacant and model suites, explain property amenities, and quote rental rates and promotions. Follow‑up calls, literature, and status tracking are performed, while funds for applications, security deposits and rentals are collected.

Keys, move‑in packages, safety videos and required paperwork are distributed at lease signing.
Staying knowledgeable about current marketing and leasing techniques is required to meet affirmative marketing goals. The consultant seeks new residents through outreach, direct marketing, cold calling, literature distribution and contacts with government, social, religious and community organizations. Competitive rates and promotions are monitored by visiting rival properties and analyzing their marketing and sales tactics.
