Are you experienced in residential property management, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with both property owners and tenants? We’re looking for a Property Specialist who takes pride in thorough inspections, clear communication, and following through.
This hands-on role combines office responsibilities with visits to properties throughout our service area. You’ll help document property conditions, coordinate move-ins and move-outs, handle security deposit accounting, and address owner and tenant needs.

- Identify maintenance concerns, property damage, and items requiring follow-up.
- Prepare security deposit dispositions, including gathering documentation, reviewing charges, and coordinating timely processing in accordance with applicable requirements and company procedures.
- Communicate professionally with owners and tenants about inspections, property conditions, security deposits, and next steps.
- Prepare, deliver, and post notices as directed, documenting completion accurately.
- Travel to properties as needed for inspections, access coordination, notice posting, and other property-related tasks.
- Coordinate with property managers, maintenance staff, and vendors to resolve issues and complete follow-up.
- Maintain organized records and accurate updates in our property management software.

Qualifications

- Experience handling security deposits and move-out accounting.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to handle difficult conversations calmly and professionally.
- Excellent organization, attention to detail, and time management.
- Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and follow tasks through to completion.
- Comfort using property management software, mobile inspection tools, email, and digital records.
- Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the ability to travel throughout our service area.
Preferred Experience
- Experience using AppFolio.
- Familiarity with EOS, including Rocks, Scorecards, and Level 10 Meetings.
- Comfort using AI tools to support communication, organization, and daily workflows, with sound judgment when reviewing outputs and handling confidential information.
- CA Real Estate License (not required but preferred)
