Education: Generally, a high school diploma is sufficient to become a leasing consultant. Some college courses in marketing and communication may be beneficial.
Career Path: Depending on the size of the employer, a leasing consultant may be promoted to leasing manager or general manager of all properties. In some cases, a leasing consultant may work independently. When working independently, the consultant will have agreements with several property companies to show properties to prospective renters.
