The work

Tasks this hire takes

A property management virtual assistant runs arrears notes, keys and maintenance logs.

The manager still decides the breach, the rent and the owner advice.

Two jobs shape a normal week for property management: Log maintenance in PropertyMe or Property Tree, and book routine inspections the manager will attend. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Log maintenance in PropertyMe or Property Tree

  • Book routine inspections the manager will attend

  • Chase arrears using the script the office wrote

  • Prep owner statement packs for review

  • Order keys and contractor quotes the manager approved

Log maintenance in PropertyMe or Property Tree. For property management, that work sits beside Console Cloud where the rent roll lives. The principal still makes the call above it.

Book routine inspections the manager will attend. Ask each finalist for property management when they last did this, and whether they did it in PropertyMe or Property Tree.

The brief for property management should treat this as a standing job: chase arrears using the script the office wrote. PropertyMe or Property Tree is where the office checks it.

Prep owner statement packs for review. If the hire has not used PropertyMe or Property Tree, the first month for property management includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Order keys and contractor quotes the manager approved. For property management, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.

Day one

Software in the brief

Name PropertyMe or Property Tree in the brief for property management when the hire will use it in the first week.

Say whether Console Cloud where the rent roll lives is required on day one for property management, or taught after the start.

A short task in A maintenance inbox with a written triage rule can be part of the interview for property management, if you want to see the work.

You grant access to Xero only for the invoices the manager coded. For property management, the hire should have that login before week two.

The line

Compliance boundary
