The Role
Aishel Real Estate manages nearly 400 residential units across six Pittsburgh-area properties. We need an experienced Property Manager who enforces lease terms, drives rent collections, and isn't afraid of hard conversations with residents. This is a field-heavy position; 75% of your time is on-site across multiple properties and 25% in the office. If you need daily guidance on where to be or what to prioritize, this role is not a good fit.
What You'll Be Doing
- Walking all six properties on a regular schedule, inspecting all areas, not just common spaces, to catch issues before they become problems
- Managing rent collections and delinquency enforcement: calls, notices, payment plans, and escalation when warranted; your job is to resolve issues at the property level before they need to go to accounting or court, not to pass them along
- Enforcing lease compliance and handling violations through proper notice procedures
- Conducting move-in and move-out inspections, plus routine unit condition checks, maintaining accurate records throughout
- Managing the full tenant lifecycle: applications, screening, lease execution, renewals, and move-outs
- Directly overseeing the maintenance team's performance on your properties: assigning priority, reviewing work quality, and holding maintenance staff accountable for results
- Researching current market rates across unit types and finish levels and bringing recommendations to ownership for final pricing decisions
- Maintaining accurate records in RentManager
- Reporting directly to senior operations on collections status, property performance, and resident issues
What We Require
- 5+ years of residential property management experience, required
- Active collections management experience; you know how to hold the line and when a payment plan is real vs. a stall
- Familiarity with Pennsylvania landlord-tenant law and the eviction process is valuable; direct court experience is a plus but not required
- Valid Pennsylvania driver's license and reliable personal vehicle; you are on the road daily
- RentManager experience strongly preferred; proficiency with property management software required
- Strong organizational capacity across multiple properties and competing priorities
- Comfortable managing and holding maintenance staff accountable for performance
Who You Are
You can deliver a lease violation notice in the morning and handle a maintenance complaint with patience in the afternoon. You hold the line on compliance without losing your humanity. You are self-directed, meaning you build your own schedule, you know what needs to happen, and you execute without being managed. You understand that structure protects residents as much as it protects ownership.
Compensation
- Base Salary: $60,000-$65,000, depending on experience
- Travel stipend: $500/month ($6,000/year)
- Performance bonus: up to an additional $5,000/year, tied to independent judgment and decision-making; the more of the job you can run without escalating to ownership, the more you earn
- Health insurance: company covers 50% of premium
- Occasional after-hours availability required for genuine emergencies; this is not a regular on-call rotation
