Urban Land Co. is a real estate investment and development company that self-manages communities. While we share close ties with our affiliated partner, Link Real Estate Group, a third-party property management firm, this role is part of Urban’s in-house management team. Together, Urban and Link are committed to our people. From day one, you'll receive mentorship, regular feedback, and a leadership team that supports your development. As an Assistant Property Manager you’ll gain valuable business insight and experience, setting the stage for a rewarding career in property management.

If you have property management experience, awesome! If not, but your drive, personality, and customer-first mindset speak louder, we want to meet you!

What You’ll Be Doing:

As an Assistant Property Manager, you will help lead daily operations, support residents, ensure things are running smoothly, and maintain high operational standards. Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Own the Renewal Process. Take charge of the entire lease renewal cycle. Draft and deliver renewal notices 90 days in advance, follow up with residents, and ensure leases are signed at least 60 days before expiration.

• Team Up on Leasing. Partner with Leasing to support leasing efforts and maintain strong occupancy levels, manage leads and guide applicants through the leasing journey.

• Keep the System Running Smoothly. Maintain up-to-date records in our property management software, from move-ins/outs to household changes, lease updates, and more.

• Support Eviction Procedures. Assist the Property Manager with eviction processes, ensuring full compliance with state laws and company policies.

• Drive Rent Collection Success. Oversee rent collection efforts by managing communications, notices, and payment follow-ups.

• Deliver Excellent Resident Service. Respond to resident requests and concerns quickly and professionally, ensuring a welcoming and responsive environment.

• Maintain High Operational Standards. Work closely with the Property Manager to ensure daily operations run efficiently and that the property is well-maintained and visually appealing.

• Step into Leadership When Needed. Assist in staff management and take on leadership duties in the Property Manager's absence.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Sales oriented and people-first mindset. You have strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently. In person, over the phone, and in writing. You approach every interaction with professionalism and a sales driven mindset to engage prospects and understand their needs and wants as they find their new home.

• Driven and dependable. You’re a self-starter who takes initiative, follows through on tasks, and holds yourself accountable. You bring a strong sense of ownership to everything you do.

• Organized and adaptable. You can manage your time, stay organized, and juggle multiple priorities. Even in a fast-paced environment with shifting needs and occasional urgency.

• Detail-oriented and safety-conscious. You pay attention to the little things, stay accurate, and follow safety policies and procedures without cutting corners.

• Tech-savvy and eager to learn. You’re comfortable picking up new systems and can quickly learn the tools we use to manage leads, leases, and daily tasks.

• Collaboration and teamwork. You’re willing to pitch in wherever needed and inspire others with your attitude and actions.

• Previous work experience in property management and leasing is required.

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
