A tenant's kitchen faucet starts leaking on a Friday evening. Somebody has to notice the maintenance request, get a plumber scheduled before the weekend turns into a bigger problem, and let the tenant know it's actually being handled. That somebody, working from a laptop instead of a leasing office, is the
Remote Assistant Property Manager.
The role pays
$68,500 a year and is fully remote.
What the Job Actually Involves
Property management runs on a lot of small, unglamorous follow-through — a vendor who needs a reminder call, a lease renewal that needs to go out before it's forgotten, a tenant email that needs an answer today rather than sometime this week. This role handles that layer directly, working alongside a property manager rather than replacing one.
- Scheduling repairs and following up with vendors until the work is actually done
- Keeping digital records current — lease agreements, inspection reports, tenant communications
- Managing shared inboxes and responding to tenant questions promptly and accurately
- Helping resolve resident concerns before they turn into bigger complaints
- Drafting lease renewal notices, rent reminders, and community updates
- Putting together reports and updates for property owners
- Suggesting process improvements — a script, an automation, a better scheduling approach
What You'd Need
- Education: High school diploma or equivalent — this is the floor, not a preference
- Experience: 1+ years in property management or a related administrative role
- Strong written and verbal communication, since most tenant contact happens by email or phone
- Sharp attention to detail — a missed follow-up here can turn into a bigger issue fast
- Solid time management, since you'd be handling several open items at once
- Comfort with cloud-based tools and remote collaboration software

The Tools You'd Be Using
Day-to-day, that's property management software like AppFolio or Buildium to keep operations centralized, Slack and Zoom to stay connected across time zones, and Zapier, Notion, or Trello to automate the repetitive parts of the job. Google Workspace handles file sharing and storage. If you've worked with something different before, that's fine — the team is open to trying new tools when they work better.
What Working Here Is Actually Like
The team is spread across time zones, so much of the coordination happens asynchronously — a message left for someone to pick up when their day starts, rather than everyone stacked into back-to-back calls. Nobody's watching whether you're at a desk at 9 a.m. sharp. What matters is whether tenant requests get handled and vendors get followed up with. New hires are paired with an experienced colleague for their first few weeks, which helps when a tenant issue gets complicated quickly.
Compensation and Benefits
- Fully remote, with flexible hours across a distributed team
- Paid time off, plus additional recharge days on top of standard PTO
- A remote work stipend and monthly Wi-Fi reimbursement
- Bonus opportunities tied to performance
- Access to wellness resources and career development programs
Where This Role Can Lead
People in this role tend to move toward leading special projects, mentoring newer team members, or helping shape new service offerings as the company grows. The company's roadmap includes expanding into commercial properties and building out new tenant-facing tools, and there's real room to be part of that as it develops.
Who Tends to Do Well Here
Usually someone who can stay calm when three things go wrong at once, who follows up without being asked twice, and who can write a lease renewal notice that doesn't read like a form letter. Technical skill matters less than reliability — tenants and owners both notice when someone actually follows through.
Applying
Send in your resume along with a short note on your property management or administrative background — specific examples of what you've handled carry more weight than a general list of skills. Review happens on a rolling basis — no fixed deadline to work against — and if things look like a fit, the next step is a conversation that walks through a few real scenarios from the role.
