Property Manager; Leasing, Inspections + Maintenance Residential Rentals | On-site; Davis, CA)

Our client is a small property management company that looks after rental homes in Davis and Woodland, California, for individual owners. It's been running since 2008 with a team of 5 to 10 people, and the owners still run it day to day.

It keeps pricing simple for owners: showings, tenant placement and vendor visits are part of the service, not extra charges. That only works when someone on the ground keeps leasing, inspections and repairs moving, which is this role.

You'll run the day-to-day for the company's rental homes: showing units and signing leases, walking units at move-in and move-out, coordinating repairs with vendors, and keeping tenants and owners informed. You'll report to one of the owners, who steps in on anything that affects an owner's money or a tenant dispute that could grow.

Most of the work is on site across Davis and Woodland, with some admin possible from home. Davis is a college town, so move-outs and move-ins tend to bunch up around the academic year.

Success looks like condition reports and deposit returns that hold up if anyone questions them, and repair requests that get closed rather than just scheduled.
