About The Position

Bluestone Property Management is seeking an energetic, results-driven Leasing Consultant for its urban apartment communities in midtown and downtown Omaha. The role focuses on showing luxury apartments and guiding prospective residents through the leasing process. It offers a competitive base wage, commissions of $150 for each lease, additional $50–$100 commissions for certain pre-leased or notice-to-vacate units, and additional pacesetter commissions for employees who consistently meet goals. The posting states that leasing consultants average $26 per hour including commissions and describes this as an elevated sales opportunity, not an entry-level role. The Leasing Consultant works with prospects and residents, maintains accurate records and follow-up, supports resident move-ins and retention, and assists with property marketing and outreach. The role also includes attending sales meetings and occasional marketing events outside standard hours, helping cover other team members, and supporting projects as needed. Bluestone describes its purpose as creating housing that matters and identifies its core values as caring, honoring its word, and doing the right thing at tough times.
