START A CAREER IN COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT WITHOUT PRIOR EXPERIENCE!
We are looking for positive and motivated professionals who would like to make a complete career change in property and HOA community management. We do not require prior experience as we have our own education company that will provide you with an industry-leading education foundation. The initial training will take one year, and you will be an industry expert in three years. You will also have mentors assigned to provide real-life support to advance your skill set. The education in property management will serve you well in future roles in our company or in your external career progression.
The starting compensation is $55,000 a year with reviews and performance increase opportunities every 6-months.
Typical background could be from retail, restaurants, hospitality, administrative roles, department managers, office management, operations, and many more. Candidates typically have 8 to 10 years of professional experience in roles where pro-active effort and decisions are required.
In this role, you will learn customer services, administration, communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, insurance, budgets, financials, legal matters, vendor management, and much more. Please think of it as a solid foundation for general business matters and administration.
A little about us:

We do not hire employees… We hire work family.
