Property Manager / Leasing Manager - 55+ Apartment Community

Location: Mustang, OK
Property: 82-unit 55+ apartment and cottage community
Job Type: Full-Time, On-Site
Schedule: Monday–Friday with occasional weekend availability as needed

About the Position

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Property Manager to oversee a well-established 82-unit 55+ apartment and cottage community in Mustang.

This is a stabilized property with a long operating history and currently approximately 95% occupancy. The community includes both traditional apartments and single-story cottage-style homes.

We are looking for someone who can step into the role with minimal training and take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the property.

Leasing and resident relations are especially important in this position. The ideal candidate is comfortable selling the value of a community, conducting tours, following up consistently with prospects, and asking for the lease.

Responsibilities

• Manage the day-to-day operation of the community
• Respond quickly and professionally to leasing inquiries
• Conduct property and unit tours
• Follow up consistently with prospects until they lease or are no longer interested
• Maintain high occupancy and minimize vacancy
• Process applications, leases, renewals, notices and move-ins
• Build strong relationships with current residents
• Coordinate maintenance requests and unit turns
• Inspect vacant units and ensure they are clean and show-ready
• Monitor delinquency and assist with collections
• Maintain accurate resident and prospect information in property-management software
• Help market available apartments and cottages
• Monitor local competitors, rents and concessions
• Maintain the appearance and presentation of the office, model/vacant units and community
• Communicate regularly with ownership regarding occupancy, leasing activity, maintenance and resident issues
• Work closely with ownership and remote administrative/marketing support

What We're Looking For

Property management or apartment leasing experience is strongly preferred.

The strongest candidates will have:

• Experience managing or leasing multifamily apartments
• A proven ability to convert inquiries into tours and tours into leases
• Strong sales and customer-service skills
• Excellent phone and in-person communication
• Experience with property-management or leasing software
• Good organizational and follow-up habits
• Ability to handle resident issues professionally
• Experience coordinating maintenance and unit turns
• Basic understanding of Fair Housing requirements
• Ability to work independently and make good decisions
• Reliable attendance and dependable follow-through

Experience with 55+, active-adult, independent-living or senior communities is a plus, but not required.

The Person We're Looking For

We place a high value on ownership mentality.

You should be comfortable talking with prospective residents about price and explaining why the community provides value, rather than simply quoting a rent amount and waiting for the prospect to decide.

The right person will be:

• Friendly and approachable
• Confident but not pushy
• Organized
• Responsive
• Dependable
• Comfortable working independently
• Good at building relationships with older adults
• Motivated by leasing and occupancy results

Compensation

$50,000-$60,000 annually, depending on experience

Plus:

• Flexible schedule
• Performance incentives

To Apply

Please submit your resume along with a brief response to the following:

1. How many years of apartment/property management or leasing experience do you have?

2. Approximately how many units were at the largest property you managed or leased?

3. What property-management software have you used?

4. Tell us briefly how you would respond to a prospect who likes the property but says, "Your rent is too expensive."

We are looking to fill this position promptly.
