Property Management Assistant
Remote, Full-Time | Independent Contractor
Orange County, CA Property Management Company
About the Role
A fast-growing, highly regarded property management company in Orange County is looking for a Property Management Assistant to support its team of Property Managers. The company manages a high volume of residential portfolios and is known for keeping its PMs in the field building relationships rather than buried in back-office work - that's where you come in.
This role is central to keeping operations running smoothly, especially during a period of high demand: you'll be a key point of support for maintenance coordination, tenant and vendor communication, and day-to-day portfolio administration across AppFolio and Property Meld.
What We’re Looking For
• Deep AppFolio & Realm X Proficiency: You are a power user of AppFolio. You don’t just navigate the system; you optimize it. You have proven experience implementing, customizing, and managing Realm X workflows to drive operational efficiency and automate manual tasks.
• Process Owner: You have a proactive, ownership-driven mindset. We need someone who identifies inefficiencies, builds better automated workflows, and takes full responsibility for our back-office health.
• Tech Stack Proficiency: Experience with Property Meld (or comparable tools) and Asana is required. You can integrate these tools seamlessly into our AppFolio-driven ecosystem.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills - you'll be working closely with the internal team daily, and directly reporting to the CEO
• Experience in residential property management, ideally supporting a Property Manager or portfolio directly
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset - someone who can be trusted to run with tasks and coordinate vendors independently
• Comfortable handling sensitive owner and tenant information with discretion, background check may be required
What You’ll Do
• Optimize Workflows: Act as the internal lead for our AppFolio environment. You will design, implement, and maintain Realm X workflows that reduce manual effort and improve consistency across our portfolio.
• Manage Maintenance Cycles: Oversee the full lifecycle of maintenance in Property Meld—from work order creation to vendor coordination and vendor/tenant communication.
• Leasing & Admin Automation: Refine and execute our leasing and sales flow automations within AppFolio to ensure high-quality prospect communication and pipeline velocity.
• Communicate directly with property owners to request approvals on expenses above the company's set threshold
• Help fine-tune and run AppFolio's sales and leasing flow automations
• Provide general back-office support across the portfolio, including light administrative and accounting tasks
• Act as a proactive operational partner to the Property Managers - not just a task processor, but someone who can take ownership of a problem and see it through
Schedule & Compensation
• Full-time, U.S. business hours (Pacific Time)
• Compensation: $10–$16/hour, based on experience
• Independent contractor position, paid via Wise or Remotely
