- Compare rental rates and unit offerings at competing properties, including conducting physical site visits, to evaluate market positioning, amenities, and pricing strategies.
Resident Relations
- Serve as a professional and responsive point of contact for residents, prospects, and property ownership.
- Promote resident retention and satisfaction through timely resolution of questions, concerns, and service requests.
- Oversee changes in rental agreements, including communication, resident events, and move-out coordination.
Financial & Operational Management

- Ensure compliance with company policies, Washington State landlord-tenant laws, and local jurisdictional requirements.
