- You communicate clearly and professionally with both tenants and vendors
- You remain calm and solutions-focused during emergencies or scheduling issues
- You are highly organized and process-driven
- You proactively follow up instead of waiting for issues to escalate
Required Experience & Skills- 2+ years of experience in property management, maintenance coordination, or facilities operations
- Experience using property management systems such as Buildium, AppFolio, or Yardi
- Strong organizational and multitasking skills
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
