JOB OVERVIEW

TL;DR – Role Summary

Founder-led student housing company looking for a detail-obsessed, judgment-driven property manager. This is a long-term role built on trust, ownership, and clear communication.

You are going to be the HERO in what we do here — we offer reliable, modern student living for college students in the U.S. We have properties in the states of California, New York, and Arizona.



WHY work with us

Our mission is to provide reliable, high-quality modern housing for engineering students who are working incredibly hard to build their futures. We take pride in being the kind of landlord students can count on.

Our core values: Humility. Integrity. Ownership. Excellence.

We are a small and nimble team. You will be one of the first people we bring on — think of it as joining a founding team early. You will get to learn, grow, and help shape how things are done as we scale.

Here's what's in it for you:

Work fully from home — no commute, no gas, no office politics
Freedom and independence to manage your work and schedule
Build a diverse skill set across leasing, customer service, marketing, sales, and more
Work with people who are humble, considerate, and genuinely open to feedback
Be part of something meaningful — helping hard-working students find a safe, reliable place to live
If you have a great idea, pitch it. We grow faster through shared thinking and honest feedback.

This role starts at 10–20 hours per week during training. If things go well — and we expect they will — you'll likely move to 30–40 hours per week soon after. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us long-term, including into other businesses we plan to expand into.


Note: This is an individual contributor role to start. "Coordinator" refers to managing properties, processes, and responsibilities — not managing people, yet.



HOURS

Training / Probation: First 1–2 months, Monday–Friday, 9:30am–12pm EST, approximately 10–20 hours per week (actual hours subject to small variations).

Official work hours: 35–40 hours approximately; hours are for reference and will adjust slightly based on actual needs.

Regular Off-Peak Season: July–February (8 months)
Monday–Friday: 9am–4:30 pm EST (37.5 hrs)
Saturday OR Sunday: 2.5 hrs of your choice.

Peak Leasing Season: March–June (4 months), 2 weeks in late August (Move In).
Monday–Wednesday + Friday: 12 - 8pm EST (32 hrs)
Saturday OR Sunday: 10am–6pm EST (8 hrs; you pick the day)

**Hours subject to slight variation as business needs evolves.

During all official hours: available to answer calls immediately and respond to text messages within 30 minutes.

Weekend availability in EST Time is a firm requirement. Students are frequently home on weekends and leasing tours are commonly scheduled on weekends. This is non-negotiable.


The nature of property management fluctuates throughout the year. Peak periods include leasing season (March–June) and move-in/move-out season (May–August). Slower months may include additional admin or business support tasks.



SALARY

$3–$6/hr. We believe in happy, fairly compensated employees.

Please share:

How much you would like to earn per hour to start
Where do you see yourself professionally in 1 year?
Where do you see yourself professionally in 5 years?

Please be realistic — the higher your ask, the higher our performance expectations will be.


Responsibilities

You will help manage the entire life cycle of a student tenant: Leasing ? Move-in ? Maintenance ? Move-out.

Leasing

Post rental ads

Qualify and respond to leads

Coordinate open houses

Host open houses on Google Meet

SELL the rentals to the leads, convince them to sign - through VIDEO/ PHONE CALLS

Assist with lease signing and deposit coordination

Move-In

Coordinate move-in logistics

Provide keys or access codes

Ensure move-in instructions are completed

Maintenance

Intake maintenance requests from tenants

Escalate and approve maintenance requests per guidelines

Contact vendors for repairs

Follow through to confirm repairs are completed

Help mediate and resolve tenant-to-tenant conflicts with professionalism and neutrality, escalating to Landlord when needed


Move-Out

Coordinate move-out process

Ensure tenants follow move-out instructions

Review and assess move-out photos

As trust builds, this role may expand to include other responsibilities such as general admin, business analytics, and business support, such as inbox organization, research, scheduling, and document preparation.

These tasks will always be clearly scoped and secondary to real estate operations.



Required Skills & Experience

Prior real estate or property management experience is required. We do not have the bandwidth to train someone starting from zero — we need someone who already understands the basics and can hit the ground running.

Beyond experience, we are looking for someone who:

Remembers what we discussed and follows through without reminders
Understands WHY we do things a certain way, not just what to do
Thinks independently and proactively — identifies issues before they become problems
Can problem solve, make decisions, and execute on ideas with minimal hand-holding
Is open to being trained to eventually think like us

When you can make good decisions independently and we can trust you to handle our properties without us watching — that's when promotions and more responsibility happen. ????



Communication & Tools

Strong English proficiency, written and verbal

Comfortable using tools such as:

Property management software (MagicDoor, AppFolio)

Google Suite (Google Forms, Sheets, Doc, Gmail, etc)

Text-based communication systems (Quo/ Open Phone)

Non-Negotiables (Please Read Carefully)

Extreme attention to detail
No typos on critical information (phone numbers, emails, tenant names, addresses, etc.)

The expectation is that you double-check your work before submitting.

First critical error: warning and retraining

Second critical error: we may need to reassess whether this is a good fit

Honesty and reliability matter much more to us than speed.

If you think we could be a good fit, please APPLY with us by filling out this Google Form below:
