Front Desk & Executive Assistant (Office & Owner Support)

Accent Homes Inc Alexandria, VA Full-time Inoffice

About Accent Homes

Accent Homes is a 50 year, family-owned property management firm in Northern Virginia that treats rentals over $2,000/month like investments, so owners grow their wealth without getting dragged into daily management.

We manage with a business mindset: clear math, strong communication, and serious owner protection (21day lease guarantee, tenant replacement, rent protection, damage and eviction coverage).

Our longterm target: 4,000 doors under management and a $150M syndicated portfolio. This role keeps the office and leadership organized so we can get there.

You Will

• Run the front desk: phones, visitors, mail, keys, basic office coordination
• Support owners, tenants, and vendors with clear, timely communication
