• Coordinate leasing, renewals, terminations, vacancy marketing, showings, inspections, repairs, and timely unit turnover; monitor vacancy levels, rental rates, and market conditions to support occupancy and tenant retention.

• Conduct regular property inspections and ensure safety, environmental, regulatory, COR, fire, permit, and documentation requirements are met.
• Obtain quotes, negotiate and manage service contracts, and monitor vendor performance, timelines, safety documentation, and service standards.
• Identify opportunities to improve revenue, control expenses, increase energy efficiency, and support long-term property performance.
• Support the onboarding of new properties and portfolio growth through practical planning, stakeholder coordination, and transition follow-through.
