Hi,
I'm looking for a terrific rental agent for our apartment buildings in (mostly) Northwest Portland. You can see them all at bestportlandrentals.com. We have 10 buildings with about 80 units (half in one 40 unit building where our office is) almost all within 12 blocks of NW 23rd. One building is just South of Downtown.
-
It is part time (Half day, 5 days a week Sun, M,Tu,W, Fr) 9:30-1:30.
-
Our pay is competitive (depends on experience, but I've been told we pay better than many big rental companies).
-
We do NOT include an apartment.
I'm really looking for someone who is right for the job and who takes pride and satisfaction in her or his work -- someone who is a responsible, organized, trustworthy, serious person who can work independently. You will not be micromanaged.This is for the longer haul and IS NOT A TEMPORARY JOB. If you're looking for just to fill till you find your real job, please do not apply.
Requirements:
- Apartment Management Experience Preferred (Similar experience will be considered)
- Computer Literacy Required.
- You MUST HAVE A RELIABLE CAR and proof of insurance.
- References from Previous Employers
- You must agree to a background check and drug test prior to acceptance.
- You must be physically capable of handling the job including maintenance work
Duties:
Rent Apartments (of course): Renting apartments means you are a salesperson. You show apartments. You answer calls. You tell people about our apartments so they will come and see them. It's a very one-to-one people oriented kind of thing requiring a postitive attitude and professional appearance.
Bookkeeping: You collect the rents, enter them in Quickbooks software, track late payments, notify tenants who are late, etc.
Customer Service: Tenants have issues (repairs, noise, bugs, ...). You listen to them and figure out what needs to be done.
You also write letters to tenants, post general notifications, track rent raises, and do some other computer work (Familiarity with Word, Excel, Quickbooks all very helpful).
Management: We have a full-time maintenance person. You will work with him to figure out priorities and schedules. You will also relay tenant requests. You will let the owners (me) know about the bigger stuff and things that require outside electricians, contractors, painters etc. And keep your eyes open to things around the buildings that need taking care of. You will also help our maintenace person with some semi-annual stuff (like getting fire extinguishers recharged, checking smoke detectors and the like).
Light Maintenance:Sometimes we don't have many apartments to rent or things can get slow. If other work is completed, you help with things like cleaning hallways, some light landscaping like weed spraying, and that kind of thing.
When your other duties aren't filling the time, you would do what needs doing.
