Affordable Property Manager
Who is Aimco?
Aimco
is a premier Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and the nation's
largest publicly traded owner and operator of apartment communities,
with assets of $10 billion, serving approximately one million residents
throughout the United States . As a leading S&P 500 company with over 25 years of proven performance, Aimco
has a unique blend of experience and ingenuity in apartment management,
financing and investing in conventional and affordable housing
communities.
We are looking for Affordable Housing Community Managers.
Community Managers run the show, so to speak. The Community Manager is business leader
responsible for the operations, finances, and staffing of a
multi-million dollar apartment community as defined by Aimco policies
and procedures. Aimco recognizes that the image of an
apartment community is in many ways a direct reflection of the
integrity and professionalism of the Manager.
The
Community Manager sets the standard on how Occupancy Specialist/Leasing
Consultants engage prospective and current residents. The
Manager trains Occupancy Specialist on isolating the needs of
prospective residents, addressing those needs with the right apartment
homes, and retaining our great residents. In addition, a great Affordable Community Manager models those successful sales techniques on a daily basis.
A Community Manager is a team leader. A
successful Manager builds and maintains a team-oriented office
environment and encourages the staff to rely on each others’ strengths. Aimco
believes that a successful Community Manager motivates, challenges, and
delegates, but has the know-how to perform the responsibilities of each
team member. The size of a team depends upon the size of
the apartment community, but typically a staff will consist of a
Community Manager, Assistant Community Manager, Leasing Consultants,
and the Service Team.
Finally, a Community Manager is a customer service leader. Being a “people” person is not enough. The
ideal candidate must be able to address the concerns of current and
prospective residents in a friendly and professional manner. A successful candidate must have strong organizational abilities, follow-up skills, and a great attention to detail.
