You will work with our property management team, including team leader Jennie, our local showing contacts, leasing agents when assigned, and our content team, including Scott and Vienna.
We provide property information, photos, videos, approved document templates, and company procedures. You bring experience, clear communication, organization, and dependable follow-through.

3. Follow up and coordinate applications
Contact prospects after viewings, answer questions using approved information, and guide interested renters to apply.
Review applications against our Buildium checklist.
Request missing documents and clarify incomplete information.

Direct tenants to online payment and verify payment status in the system.
Coordinate authorized move-in dates and key handoffs with property management and local contacts.
Keep notes, documents, tasks, calendars, and team updates complete.

Update renewal records and flag expected vacancies.

Careful handling of confidential applicant and tenant information.
