Property Manager – Multi-family Specialist |
Full-Time | In Person
Affordable Housing Experience Required | Lease-Up Experience Strongly Preferred
A lease-up doesn't run itself. Can you run it?
We're looking for a Property Manager who's done this before — someone who knows what it takes to lease a community from the ground up, navigate affordable housing compliance, and lead a team through the intensity of a lease-up without losing momentum or standards.
This is not a "maintain what's already working" role. You'll be building systems, driving occupancy, managing affordable housing documentation, and leading by example from day one. If you've been waiting for a high-visibility role where your results actually matter — this is it.
What You'll Be Accountable For
Lease-Up Performance
- Own and execute the full lease-up strategy — marketing, outreach, traffic generation, and conversion
- Conduct tours, close leases, and personally model the sales process for your leasing team
- Maintain disciplined prospect follow-up until the community hits stabilization
- Bring creative thinking to outreach: you know what moves the needle, and you'll use it
Affordable Housing Compliance
- Work directly with housing authorities to manage applications, certifications, and ongoing compliance requirements
- Ensure all tenant files, documentation, and reporting meet program standards — accurately and on time
- Stay current on affordable housing regulations and Fair Housing requirements
Operations & Team Leadership
- Recruit, train, supervise, and hold accountable a team of leasing and maintenance staff
- Provide hands-on oversight of maintenance operations: work order completion, preventive maintenance schedules, and property condition
- Manage vendor relationships, operational expenses, and budget performance
- Oversee daily curb appeal, resident experience, and community culture from move-in through renewal
Financial & Reporting
- Track leasing activity, resident files, and financial performance — ResMan experience preferred
- Report on occupancy, traffic, conversion, and budget variances with accuracy and timeliness
Availability
- One evening per week availability required
- Saturday availability as needed during peak leasing periods
- On-call for property emergencies — you're the decision-maker, and this role requires that ownership
What We Require — Read Before Applying
All of the following are required. Applications missing these qualifications will not be considered.
- 7+ years of property management experience, with demonstrated progression in responsibility
- 5+ years supervising on-site teams — leasing staff, maintenance, or both
- Direct experience with housing authorities and affordable housing programs — compliance, documentation, and resident file management
- Proven lease-up experience — you've taken a community from pre-leasing through stabilization and can speak to your strategy and results
- Strong command of property management software; ResMan experience strongly preferred
- High energy, sales-driven communication style with the discipline to back it up operationally
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Willingness to work the schedule this role requires, including evenings and Saturdays as needed
- Willingness to accept the position within the posted compensation range
What Moves You to the Top
- Resman Software experience
- Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Business, Real Estate, or a related field
- NALP, CAM, or ARM designation
- Track record of lease-up success: timeline, occupancy targets hit, compliance maintained
Compensation & Benefits
- $65,000 – $69,000/year — placement based on experience, lease-up track record, and affordable housing expertise
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company matching
- Paid time off
- Professional development assistance
Why This Role Is Worth Your Attention
Lease-ups are hard. They require more energy, more creativity, and more leadership than a stabilized property. We know that — and we compensate and support accordingly.
You'll have real authority to execute your leasing strategy, build your team culture, and put your stamp on this community. Your performance will be visible, your contributions will be recognized, and there is a clear path forward for a leader who delivers.
If you've done lease-ups before, you know the difference between a company that understands the work and one that doesn't. We do. Apply and let's talk about what you've built.
