Residential Property Manager
Job Description
A privately owned residential property portfolio in the Columbia, SC area is seeking an experienced Property Manager to lead day-to-day operations and drive occupancy growth across a multi-property portfolio.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can diagnose operational gaps, direct an on-site team, and deliver measurable improvement in occupancy and collections. You'll oversee leasing performance, unit turn timelines, and delinquent account resolution, working closely with on-site leasing and maintenance staff as well as outside contractor crews.
What You'll Own:
- Portfolio-wide occupancy and leasing performance
- Unit turn timelines — coordinating with maintenance and contractor crews to get vacant units rent-ready quickly
- Delinquent account management, including enforcement of lease terms and timely notices when needed
- Lease renewal compliance (insurance requirements, rent adjustments, terms enforcement)
- Team leadership — directing on-site leasing and maintenance staff
- Regular reporting to ownership on occupancy, collections, and turn status
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience managing a multi-unit residential portfolio (100+ units preferred)
- A track record of improving occupancy and/or reducing delinquency in a prior role
- Comfortable directing a small team rather than working solo
- Strong organizational and reporting skills — you're comfortable owning real numbers, not just narratives
- Property management software experience (Buildium or similar) a plus
- Based in or willing to work in the greater Columbia, SC area
Compensation:
Competitive base salary plus a quarterly performance bonus tied to measurable portfolio improvement (occupancy, collections, turn timelines).
Interviews:
In-person interviews will be conducted in the Columbia, SC area the week of August 31, 2026. Local candidates or those able to meet in person during this window are strongly encouraged to apply.
