The goal is to restore the property to a safe and presentable condition, making it ready for sale, rent, or occupancy.

To thrive as a Property Clean Up professional, you need strong attention to detail, physical stamina, and knowledge of cleaning procedures, often requiring experience or training in janitorial or sanitation services. Familiarity with cleaning equipment, chemical handling, and sometimes certifications in hazardous material disposal or OSHA safety standards are typically required. Reliability, time management, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for meeting client expectations and working efficiently in teams or independently. These skills ensure thorough, safe, and timely property restoration, which is vital for customer satisfaction and maintaining property value.

What challenges are common in property clean up, and how can they be managed?

Property Clean Up professionals often encounter challenges such as dealing with hazardous materials, navigating cluttered or unsafe environments, and managing time-sensitive projects.

Adapting to varying property conditions and collaborating closely with other staff ensures tasks are completed efficiently and safely.

Job description

Position Overview

Newbury Living is seeking a driven, results-oriented Property Manager to lead a 108-unit market-rate community. This role is built for a leader who knows how to drive occupancy, push revenue, and create a standout resident experience.

You’ll take full ownership of the asset—leading leasing strategy, maximizing NOI, and building a high-performing team that consistently delivers results.

What You’ll Own

Leasing & Revenue Growth

  • Drive occupancy and pricing strategy to consistently outperform market targets
  • Track traffic, conversion, and leasing metrics—then take action to improve results
  • Lead from the front: coach, close, and elevate leasing performance

Operations & Team Leadership

  • Build and lead a motivated, accountable team focused on performance
  • Set the tone for professionalism, urgency, and customer experience
  • Maintain a community that looks and operates at a high level every day

Financial Performance

  • Own the budget, control expenses, and push revenue growth
  • Monitor delinquency and take proactive steps to protect income
  • Make strategic decisions that directly impact NOI

Resident Experience & Retention

  • Deliver fast, effective resolutions to resident concerns
  • Create a community residents choose to stay in
  • Drive renewals and minimize turnover

Maintenance & Asset Quality

  • Partner with maintenance to ensure fast turns and strong unit presentation
  • Keep the property clean, safe, and competitive in the market
What We’re Looking For
  • No prior property management experience required — we'll train the right person
  • Track record of hitting goals in any past role (sports, school, retail, service industry all count)
  • Natural leader — someone others already turn to, even informally
  • Comfortable with numbers; willing to learn budgets and reporting
  • Tech-comfortable and able to learn new software quickly
  • Self-starter with a "whatever it takes" mentality — shows up, solves problems, doesn't wait to be told
