Residential Real Estate Property Management Assistant - Freelance, Remote

Department: Specialized Roles

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Philippines

Reporting To: Client via Magic

Compensation: $7.00 / hour

Description

About the Client
A fast-growing, owner-operated residential real estate business on the Gulf Coast manages roughly 100 long-term rental properties. The owners are licensed real estate professionals who currently handle leasing, tenant relations, rent collection, and maintenance in-house. They seek scalable support to streamline operations so they can reduce 12-hour days and focus on acquiring more properties.

Why does this role exist?
This role exists to relieve the owners from time-intensive, recurring property management work—especially rent collection and maintenance coordination—so operations run smoothly during Central Time business hours. By taking ownership of tenant communications, delinquency follow-ups, and vendor scheduling inside TurboTenant and via the client’s phone system, you’ll reduce operational bottlenecks. The objective is to increase on-time collections, speed up maintenance resolution, and create capacity for growth.


The Impact you’ll make

Rent collection and delinquency management
  • Monitor TurboTenant daily for payments, reconcile statuses, and flag discrepancies
  • Proactively follow up with late tenants via calls/texts/emails; send late/eviction notices per client guidance and local procedures
  • Maintain a clear tracker of promises-to-pay and outcomes
Tenant communications and service
  • Answer and triage inbound tenant calls via the client’s phone system; route emergencies appropriately during business hours
  • Respond to inquiries and service requests with clear, empathetic, and professional communication
  • Provide bilingual coordination when possible (Spanish nice-to-have; translation tools acceptable)
Maintenance coordination and vendor management
  • Dispatch and schedule handymen/plumbers/electricians; confirm access, scope, and timelines
  • Track work orders end-to-end in TurboTenant or shared tracker, including photos/progress and cost details
  • Follow up on open tickets until completion; escalate issues early when risks arise
Records, systems, and reporting
  • Keep accurate logs of payments, fees, notices, and maintenance expenses
  • Prepare daily email summaries and weekly roll-ups of collections, delinquencies, and open/closed tickets (copy the owner’s wife as needed)
  • Maintain vendor lists, rate cards, and feedback for continuous improvement
Compliance and process excellence
  • Prepare/send appropriate notices (late, pay-or-quit, eviction-related) using client-approved templates and instructions
  • Protect data privacy, follow Fair Housing principles, and document all communications for auditability
  • Recommend process tweaks to reduce cycle time, especially during the first 15 days of each month
