    Coordinate with Section 8/housing authorities for inspections and documentation

    Represent the company during in-person showings and leasing support

    Administrative & Vendor Support:

    Schedule and coordinate vendors, ensuring compliance and completion

    Document all tenant communication and property updates in AppFolio
