Assistant Property Manager
About the role
This Assistant Property Manager position at Morgan Ridge Apartments in Winston-Salem is ideal for someone with leasing or front-desk experience ready to transition into more operational responsibilities. You’ll handle rent collection, delinquency management, resident file maintenance, and paperwork for notices and formal correspondence. You’ll also coordinate with vendors, support leasing activities, and step in to run the site when the Property Manager is unavailable—requiring independent judgment and decision-making.
Cottonwood Residential uses self-guided tours, which shapes the leasing process differently than traditional agent-led communities. Expect a unique rhythm in prospect traffic and tour conversions.
Weekend availability is required, as is standard in the industry.
