About The Position

As a Property Manager, you are fully accountable for all property operations and serve as the leader of the on-site team — driving resident satisfaction, fostering a thriving community environment, and effectively coordinating activities and resources to meet property, owner, and company objectives. This includes maximizing occupancy and income, increasing property values, and controlling operating expenses while maintaining a quality product. This role is ideal for an experienced, results-driven leader who has managed large-scale, Class A communities and is comfortable overseeing multiple properties, including regular travel across the portfolio as needed. Our Property Managers are the cornerstone of the team: building motivated, trustworthy staff, training the Assistant Property Manager to step in during your absence, and keeping communities in excellent condition.

Willingness and ability to travel regularly, including occasional overnight travel, to support and manage multiple properties within the portfolio.
Proficiency in property management software, including YARDI®, RentCafé, and credit screening platforms, as well as Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
Strong leadership abilities with experience training, developing, and mentoring a high-performing team across one or more properties.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to resolve resident concerns professionally; bilingual ability may be required based on property needs.
Excellent organizational, multitasking, and time management skills with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
Strong integrity and professionalism, including confidentiality, fiduciary responsibility, and adherence to federal, state, and local Fair Housing laws, ADA, OSHA, and EPA requirements.
Basic understanding of Landlord/Tenant law and familiarity with state-specific leases and addendums.
Ability to adapt to change and work in a dynamic, team-oriented environment while maintaining a positive, motivating attitude.

Oversee all property operations — maintenance, capital improvements, lease administration, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, collections, evictions, vacancy anticipation, marketing, lease renewals, service contracts, expense control, and audits — in accordance with company policy and all applicable Fair Housing, ADA, Fair Credit Reporting Act, OSHA, EPA, and other Federal, State, and Local laws.
