Good Place to work

Leasing consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked for this company for many years (going on 5) and I can confidently say this is one of the best companies I have had the privilege of working for. The hourly rate is above industry standard and commission is higher than other companies. The job itself is fun and not overly stressful! Work life balance ( for a leasing consultant) is very fair! I would recommend this company to friends and family.

Cons

Davis development offers seasonal wardrobe 2 times a year - roughly every 6 months. The company pays $600 out of the $1200 spent on new wardrobe. This would be a pro, however we are VERY restricted on what we can buy. Over the years it seems like the restrictions have gotten more and more strict. As someone with almost 10 seasons worth of wardrobe, and every possible color in dress, skirt and shirt, It is hard to justify paying $600 out of my check every 6 months on clothing that I might already own. Another con would be that there is very little room for growth.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this—it’s helpful to hear directly how policies are landing with the team. The wardrobe program is meant to keep everyone looking sharp without becoming a burden, so if it’s starting to feel that way, that’s something we need to look at. I hear you on the restrictions and the cost adding up over time. And your point about growth is also noted—we always want to be better on that front. Thanks again for the honest input.

The Davis FAMILY

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work/life balance Good pay Real family atmosphere with upper management constantly communicating with on-site teams Top of the line properties

Cons

There should be more incentives for Property Managers, Assistants and Maintenance to get bonuses. Leasing agents make very good bonuses that sometimes make them have a higher salary than the Property Manager. The company used to pay a bonus to the PM and AM for every lease that the team got and that seemed more fair since the PM and AM do alot of the work with these leases and move ins. Also our maintenance team works really hard to get these apartments ready. They get a lot dumped on them with no incentive to help us get these leased.

Thanks for sharing this - it’s thoughtful and honest, and I appreciate it. You’re right that leasing bonuses are strong, and I hear you on the imbalance. PMs, Assistants, and Maintenance put in serious work to make everything happen, and it’s important we keep looking at how we reward the whole team, not just part of it. Also agree that having a solid SOP - especially with input from folks who’ve worked at different companies - could make a real difference. No promises here, but I’ll keep this feedback front and center as we continue trying to grow the right way. Thanks for what you do every day.

Thanks for this – your words mean a lot. We don’t take it lightly when someone says we’re the best company they’ve ever worked for. That’s exactly the kind of environment we want to create – supportive, transparent, and team-first. I’m glad you feel that from the top down. If there's ever anything we can do to keep earning that kind of feedback, don't hesitate to speak up. Appreciate you being part of the Davis family.
