Job description

Affordable housing communities run on precision. Compliance requirements, income certifications, and delinquency tracking demand a different level of attention than conventional market-rate leasing, and that's exactly the environment this role sits inside. John M. Corcoran & Company, a New England real estate operator with roots going back to 1951, is hiring an Assistant Property Manager for Townhouse Apartments in Whitman, MA. The schedule runs Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 5, which is worth knowing upfront since it shapes your week.

What the Job Actually Covers

This is a full operational support role, not a pure leasing seat. You'll handle leasing activity from traffic through application approval, but you'll also own rent collection, delinquency follow-up, move-in and move-out coordination, inspections, and resident account management. Accurate resident files and timely reporting are part of the daily rhythm. Affordable housing compliance sits at the center of this position, so a working knowledge of Fair Housing regulations and program requirements isn't optional. The property runs on Yardi, and comfort with Microsoft Office is expected from day one.

Resident relations is a meaningful part of the load. You'll field questions, address concerns, and coordinate community activities. That resident-facing work directly affects retention, and retention directly affects occupancy. On a stabilized affordable asset, keeping occupancy tight and delinquency low is how the property performs. You'll be helping manage both.

What Strong Candidates Bring

• At least three years of property management experience, with direct exposure to affordable housing programs and compliance processes
• Demonstrated ability to manage leasing activity and rental applications with accuracy
• Solid delinquency follow-up habits, including early outreach before balances compound
• Comfort with Yardi for resident ledgers, reporting, and file maintenance
• A high school diploma or equivalent; relevant experience carries real weight here

The candidates who stand out in affordable housing APM roles tend to be detail-oriented under administrative pressure and consistent communicators with residents who may be navigating difficult circumstances. The compliance piece rewards people who treat paperwork as a discipline rather than a burden. A missed certification or a documentation gap creates real exposure on an affordable asset, so thoroughness matters as much as leasing energy.

JMC offers a $2,500 sign-on bonus, a pay range of $25.50 to $36.00 per hour, medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid time off and holidays, and a 401(k) with company match.

The company has built a reputation for internal mobility, with many team members growing their careers there over the long term. For someone coming from a leasing or resident services background who wants to step into a role with real operational responsibility on an affordable community, this is a solid next move.
