Why This Role

This position offers exposure to all areas of property management, not just a single function. You’ll work for a stable, 40‑plus‑year company with a strong Texas footprint, be part of a growing portfolio with real advancement opportunities, and learn from experienced leaders in a collaborative environment.

What You’ll Do

As an Assistant Property Manager, you’ll work side‑by‑side with the Property Manager to keep communities running smoothly and residents supported. The role is hands‑on, varied, and relies on strong organization, people skills, and problem‑solving.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted support to the Property Manager, guiding day‑to‑day operations.
• Serve as a friendly, professional point of contact for residents, answering questions and resolving concerns.
• Assist with leasing activities, renewals, and accurate recordkeeping using AppFolio.
• Coordinate maintenance requests and follow up to ensure timely, quality completion.
• Help conduct property inspections and support ongoing improvement projects.
• Assist with vendor coordination, contracts, and service agreements.
• Support compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Help manage operations across multiple properties while staying organized and detail‑oriented.

What We Are Looking For

• Prior experience in property management or a related real estate, housing, or hospitality role.
• Working knowledge of leasing processes and basic property operations.
• Comfort using property management systems (AppFolio experience a plus, but not required).
• Strong communication skills—written, verbal, and over the phone.
• A team‑oriented mindset with a customer‑service focus.
• Organized, dependable, and able to juggle multiple priorities with confidence.
