We seek to build and encourage relationships that create lasting memories. People will know why we love our work by how they feel after each encounter with our team and our communities. The extra degree of customer service makes all the difference. TDC looks for dynamic individuals eager to be the face of our company, brand, and property in our markets.

• Participating in seasonal team events, including turn‑over and quarterly unit inspections.
• Answering resident questions regarding lease terms, charges, and any lease violations.

As part of the on‑site management team, it is imperative that you be familiar with the company’s policies and procedures, as well as industry training, to ensure consistent compliance at the property level. This includes administrative tasks covering:

• Online coursework on fair housing, customer service, and company policies.
• Follow‑ups on prospect, resident, and maintenance surveys to ensure the highest level of customer service.
• Regular audits of lease files, resident ledgers, and property reports.
• Participation in daily reports on lead traffic and leasing efforts.
