Company Introduction
Fergmar is a fully integrated real estate company with 19 years of excellence in South Texas markets. We specialize in investment strategy, asset management, and property operations throughout Victoria, TX and surrounding areas—enhancing communities through strategic real estate investment.
Role Summary
The Asset Manager is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who knows how to run properties and operates at a higher level. This person manages Fergmar's directly held portfolio — multifamily, single-family, commercial, and self storage — while supporting the Director of Asset Management with reporting, third-party coordination, and portfolio administration. The right person for this role does not need to be told twice. They take direction, own their work, and get things done.
Core Values
- Take Initiative: We challenge each other, take risks, and adapt to new situations.
- Be Passionate: We take pride in our work and care deeply about our communities.
- Have Fun: We create a positive workspace and build strong relationships with our team and residents.
- Value Teamwork: We approach problems with a “we over me” mentality, recognizing that our collective strength is greater than individual efforts.
- Be Relentless: We demand more of ourselves than anyone else expects, constantly striving for excellence.
Job Duties
Portfolio Operations
- Oversee day-to-day operations across multiple assets.
- Manage tenant relationships, maintenance coordination, rent collection, and vendor activity.
- Monitor property performance and escalate issues with a recommended solution — not just a problem.
- Keep properties running to ownership standards without requiring Director involvement in routine matters.
Asset Management Support
- Support the Director in tracking third-party manager performance and following through on open action items.
- Prepare recurring reports, occupancy and budget trackers, and project status updates on defined timelines.
- Coordinate with third-party and internal property managers on operational follow-through on behalf of the Director.
- Assist with data gathering and document preparation for investor reporting as directed.
Commercial Asset Management
- Manage commercial tenant relationships, rent collection, and lease compliance across assigned assets.
- Coordinate vendors and contractors at commercial properties — scope, performance, and cost.
- Maintain organized lease files, tenant records, and compliance documentation.
- Support the Director with commercial asset planning and capital coordination.
Communication & Follow-Through
- Serve as the primary contact for vendors, contractors, and tenants across the direct portfolio.
- Bring issues to the Director with context and a recommended next step — not just an update.
- Manage your own workload, deadlines, and follow-through without prompting.
- Keep property records, files, and trackers current and organized at all times.
Basic Requirements
- Proven experience managing residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties — tenure matters less than track record.
- Ability to read, build, and execute property-level budgets and track performance against them.
- Comfortable managing multiple asset types and shifting between operational and administrative work.
- Strong organizational skills — manages their own priorities and delivers without being chased.
- Proficiency with property management software (AppFolio, Yardi, RealPage, or similar).
- Valid Texas driver's license and reliable transportation — regular property visits required.
Preferred Qualifications
The following are not required but beneficial:
- Experience across more than one asset type — multifamily, single-family, commercial, and/or self storage.
- Familiarity with third-party management structures and owner-manager reporting.
- Exposure to investor reporting or asset-level performance tracking.
Ideal Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone who has been around real estate long enough to know what good looks like — and who is ready to operate without someone looking over their shoulder. This is not an entry-level role and it is not a role for someone who needs structure handed to them. It is a role for a seasoned operator who is organized, accountable, and ready to take ownership of a portfolio and run it well.
The right person is a problem-solver who communicates clearly, follows through consistently, and takes pride in the condition and performance of the assets they manage. If you are someone who gets things done, keeps your own house in order, and is energized by variety and ownership — this role was built for you.
Benefits Package
- Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance with spouse/family options available.
- Life Insurance: Basic policy provided at no cost.
- Retirement: 401(k) with 100% company match up to 5% of gross earnings.
- Paid Time Off: Competitive PTO including sick, family, bereavement, and vacation—increases with tenure.
- Professional Development: Ongoing education and training support.
- Additional Perks: Role-dependent benefits such as fuel allowance or mileage reimbursement for property visits.
Compensation
The salary range for this position is $68,000–$72,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
Expectations
- Portfolio occupancy and collections maintained at or above ownership targets across all directly managed assets.
- All recurring reporting deliverables delivered to the Director on time and without follow-up.
- Maintenance and vendor issues resolved within agreed timelines — proactive identification expected.
- Third-party manager action items tracked and closed without Director-initiated reminders.
- Property records, lease files, and trackers maintained in current, organized status at all times.
Pay: $68,000.00 - $72,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
