Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Property Manager with a strong background in remote residential property management to oversee day-to-day operations across our portfolio. In this role, you will lead property maintenance workflows, operational administration, and tenant customer service during standard Los Angeles business hours.

• Source, vet, schedule, and oversee local vendors, contractors, and maintenance staff.
• Review maintenance quotes, approve repair invoices, and ensure work is completed to standard and within budget.
• Oversee preventative maintenance schedules, move-in/move-out property inspections, and turn processes with meticulous attention to detail.

Resident Relations & Customer Service

• Serve as the primary point of contact for resident inquiries, maintenance requests, and escalated operational issues.
• Maintain high resident satisfaction and retention through prompt, empathetic, and professional communication in English and Spanish.
• Handle dispute resolution, tenancy enforcement, and lease compliance issues professionally.

Operational Administration & Portfolio Oversight

• Maintain accurate property, tenant, and vendor records within AppFolio.
• Assist with utility transfers, delinquency tracking, invoice coding, and monthly owner reporting inputs.
• Coordinate unit turnovers (turn-key process), including security deposit dispositions and vendor scheduling.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Remote Residential Property Management Experience: 3+ years of experience managing residential properties in a remote capacity.
• AppFolio Proficiency: Hands-on, proven experience using AppFolio Property Manager is strictly required.
• Los Angeles / California Experience: Prior experience managing residential properties in the Los Angeles market (understanding local property standards, vendor dynamics, and regulations) is highly preferred.
• Language Skills: Excellent spoken and written English communication skills paired with native/fluent Spanish.
• Work Hours: Absolute willingness and availability to work full-time during Los Angeles / Pacific Standard Time (PST) business hours.
• Attention to Detail: Exceptional organizational skills, thorough documentation habits, and high operational precision.
• Location: Based in Mexico (preferred) or Colombia with a reliable high-speed internet connection and dedicated home office setup.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: Paid in USD (commensurate with experience).
• Fully Remote Role: Work remotely from Mexico or Colombia.
• Focused Scope: Clear operational focus—no cold outreach, marketing, or leasing responsibilities required.
• Growth Opportunity: Take direct ownership of operational workflows and vendor management within a growing property portfolio.
