While both roles involve working directly with tenants and properties, the Onsite Property Manager oversees overall property operations and tenant relations, whereas the Leasing Agent primarily handles leasing activities like showing units and processing applications. The Onsite Property Manager has broader responsibilities, including maintenance coordination and rent collection, making it a more comprehensive role in property management.
