Senior Property Manager: New Development Lease-Up

Carrollton, Georgia
Full-Time | $65,000–$80,000/year + Lease-Up Incentives

At Vision Realty & Management, we make property management easy for everyone. We are looking for an experienced Senior Property Manager to lead the launch, lease-up, and ongoing management of a brand-new 80-unit multifamily development in Carrollton, Georgia, with retail/commercial space on the ground floor.

This is not a position where you step into an already stabilized portfolio. You will be responsible for helping bring a new property to market, building momentum before opening, driving the initial lease-up, establishing strong operating systems, and creating the resident experience from the beginning.

Once the property reaches stabilization, additional properties will be added to your portfolio, expanding the scope and responsibility of the role.

Compensation is $65,000–$80,000/year, based on experience, with additional leasing incentives tied to achieving defined lease-up KPIs.

Benefits include:

• Healthcare with 100% of the employee premium covered

• Two weeks of paid time off annually, with additional PTO based on tenure

• Four floating holidays

• SIMPLE IRA

• Performance-based lease-up incentives

ABOUT VISION REALTY & MANAGEMENT

Vision Realty & Management has roots dating back to 1975 and has grown into a full-service property management company serving West Georgia, Metro Atlanta, Charleston, and surrounding markets.

Today, we manage a diverse portfolio of residential, multifamily, and commercial properties while continuing to expand into new developments and markets.

Our company operates around these core values:

Integrity. Growth Takes Courage. Teamwork. Manners Matter. Guide with Clarity.

We expect our leaders to take ownership, communicate clearly, solve problems before they become larger problems, and continually improve the systems and properties they manage.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Your primary responsibility will initially be the successful opening and lease-up of a new 80-unit mixed-use development in Carrollton.

You will take ownership of the property through preleasing, opening, initial occupancy, stabilization, and ongoing operations.

During the lease-up period, responsibilities will include:

• Developing and executing the property's preleasing strategy

• Managing leasing activity, lead follow-up, tours, applications, and move-ins

• Tracking leasing velocity, occupancy, traffic, conversion rates, and other lease-up KPIs

• Helping establish rental rates, concessions, leasing promotions, and competitive positioning

• Coordinating property launch and opening events

• Building relationships with local businesses, employers, organizations, and referral sources

• Creating a strong resident experience from the first move-in forward

• Overseeing resident communications and issue resolution

• Coordinating maintenance, vendors, turns, inspections, and property readiness

• Ensuring units and common areas are ready for tours and move-ins

• Managing collections, delinquency, lease enforcement, and dispossessory processes when necessary

• Working with accounting to ensure property financials, charges, deposits, and reporting are accurate

• Managing the operational needs of the ground-floor retail/commercial component

• Monitoring property performance and providing clear reporting to company leadership and ownership

The first 90 days will be heavily focused on preleasing and opening the property. This period will require flexibility in scheduling, including some evenings, weekends, leasing events, and other activities based on prospect traffic and the needs of the lease-up.

This is an on-site and field-focused position during the initial lease-up.

After the property is successfully leased and stabilized, there will be an opportunity for some work-from-home flexibility, while additional properties are gradually added to the Senior Property Manager's portfolio.

As the portfolio grows, responsibilities will expand beyond the initial development to include broader property operations, owner relationships, financial performance, team leadership, and portfolio management.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

To be considered for this position, candidates must have:

• 5+ years of property management or real estate experience

• Multifamily property management experience

• Direct lease-up experience with a new multifamily development

• Demonstrated success in leasing, sales, or occupancy growth

• Georgia real estate license in good standing

• Strong customer service and resident relations experience

• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

• Ability to independently manage competing priorities and make sound operational decisions

• Ability to work a flexible schedule during the initial lease-up period

• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where processes and operations are being established in real time

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Strong candidates will also have experience with:

• Rent collection and delinquency management

• Dispossessory filings and eviction processes

• Magistrate court appearances or other landlord-tenant court matters

• Maintenance coordination and vendor management

• Unit turns, inspections, and make-ready coordination

• Property openings and new-development lease-ups

• Leasing events, community outreach, and local marketing

• Commercial or mixed-use property management

• Property management software and operational reporting

• Managing or coordinating remote team members

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

This role will be measured by results.

During the lease-up, key performance indicators will include metrics such as:

• Preleasing activity

• Occupancy growth

• Lead-to-tour conversion

• Tour-to-application conversion

• Application-to-move-in conversion

• Leasing velocity

• Response and follow-up times

• Move-in readiness

• Delinquency and collections

• Resident experience

• Property condition and operational readiness

Additional leasing incentives will be available for meeting or exceeding defined lease-up KPIs.

The objective is not simply to fill units. It is to successfully launch and stabilize a high-performing property that becomes the foundation of a larger portfolio under your management.
