About the Role
This is not a role where you wait to be told what to do next. You’ll own a portfolio of single-family and small multi-family rentals across the Wilmington market – but unlike most PM jobs, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be backed by a dedicated leasing agent, a maintenance coordinator, and in-house maintenance technicians, so you can focus on what matters most: owner relationships, portfolio performance, and keeping things running smoothly.
You’ll report directly to ownership, which means quick decisions, real autonomy, and direct impact. We run on AppFolio and well-defined workflows – your job is to execute and improve them, not build them from scratch. The team is genuinely collaborative, and we hold each other to a high standard without the politics.

What You’ll Own
- Day-to-day management of a residential portfolio – owner communication, lease renewals, rent collections, and financial performance
- Overseeing maintenance coordination through your maintenance coordinator and in-house technicians – you direct; they execute

- Monthly review of operating statements; flagging issues and recommending action
- Setting the standard for service quality across your team

- Know NC landlord-tenant law well enough to make confident decisions without looking everything up
- Are comfortable in AppFolio (or a comparable platform) and pick up new software quickly
