BLS publishes no leasing agent-only wage, so the figure here is for counter and rental clerks in the real estate industry (SOC 41-2021, NAICS 531), the closest available proxy (BLS has no leasing-agent occupation; O*NET lists leasing consultant as a sample title of this occupation).

The median wage for that occupation was $20.62 an hour in May 2025 (BLS OEWS, Counter and Rental Clerks (SOC 41-2021) in Real Estate (NAICS 531), May 2025).

Listing figures are computed from every active, paid leasing agent listing on PropertyManagerHires at the time shown, and refreshed every six hours.

Listings on a job board are not a random sample of all leasing agent jobs, so read them as a picture of current hiring, not of total employment.

This page is published only while the live sample has at least 300 listings from 25 employers.

Advertised pay is the midpoint of the range an employer posts, or its single figure, and hourly and annual postings are never converted into each other.

The headline is the employer median: each employer’s own median, then the median across employers, so a group posting hundreds of openings counts once.

A pay figure needs at least 30 listings from 10 employers and is withheld when one employer posted more than half of them.

Federal figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the other sources listed below, quoted as published, with the year in each sentence.

BLS has no leasing-agent occupation. The BLS figures on this page are for counter and rental clerks (SOC 41-2021), mainly those in the real estate industry (NAICS 531): the closest available proxy, labelled that way, not a count of leasing agents. OEWS covers payroll employees only.
