Leasing consultants for brokerages, developers with rental stock, building owners and property management companies in Dubai. The leasing consultant turns enquiries into signed tenancies: fast replies to portal and WhatsApp leads, viewings that start on time, honest answers about the unit, tenant documents collected in one go and renewals started well before the end of the contract. We assess candidates on a live-looking lead list and a viewing role-play.
Hire a leasing consultantLooking for a job?A leasing consultant who answers a lead within minutes, shows the unit as it really is and keeps vacant days low without chasing the wrong tenant.
Many candidates have closed deals but cannot show how many leads they lost on the way. The checks are about speed, honesty and follow-through, because that is where vacant days come from.
Typical hiring mistake: judging a leasing consultant only by deals they say they closed. Ask how they handled the twenty leads that did not close. How it differs from neighbours: a real estate agent covers sales and lettings and earns on the deal; a leasing consultant focuses on rentals, often for one developer, building or portfolio, and hands the unit to the property manager after move-in.

Market estimate for 2026: about 4,000 - 6,000 AED base per month for a junior leasing consultant, 6,000 - 9,000 AED for an experienced one and 9,000 - 15,000 AED for a senior consultant or team lead. Commission per signed tenancy is often paid on top and can change the full package a lot.
A real estate agent usually works on sales and lettings and is paid mostly on commission. A leasing consultant focuses on rentals for a brokerage, a developer or a building owner, often on a base salary plus commission, and also handles renewals. If your goal is fewer vacant days in units you already own or manage, you need a leasing consultant.
