Assistant Property Manager - Join Our Team in University Place!
About The Position
Are you a customer service superstar looking for your next challenge? We’re searching for an Assistant Property Manager to support the day-to-day operations of our beautiful apartment community in Tacoma, WA. You don’t need property management experience—we’re happy to train the right person. If you’re organized, people-focused, and ready to learn, we want to hear from you. Who We Are At Targa Real Estate Services, we manage communities—not just buildings. With more than 150 multifamily properties across the Pacific Northwest, we pride ourselves on integrity, efficiency, and heart. Our Property Managers are leaders, problem solvers, and stewards of both people and property. We're not here for micromanaging or red tape. We're here to support your success, back your decisions, and let you lead. Who You Are You’re the glue. The type of person who anticipates needs, thrives under pressure, and makes chaos look easy. You love people—even the tough ones—and can juggle paperwork, phone calls, and a last-minute resident walk-in without missing a beat. You might be coming from a job in retail, dental front office, beauty services, or hospitality. That’s perfect. We can teach you the systems. What we need is your attitude, hustle, and heart.
