Real Estate Operations Assistant (Part-Time)

About the Role

We are seeking a Real Estate Operations Assistant to support a growing real estate business in New York's Capital Region.

This hybrid role combines administrative support, property management coordination, and occasional hands-on property tasks. No two days are exactly the same. One day you may be scheduling contractors and organizing documents, while the next you may be checking on a property, meeting a prospective tenant, or picking up supplies.

The ideal candidate enjoys variety, is highly organized, proactive, reliable, and an excellent communicator. They are resourceful, comfortable working independently, and able to interact confidently and respectfully with tenants, vendors, and contractors. Most importantly, they are willing to jump in wherever needed and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

This position is currently part-time, with the potential to grow into a full-time role.
