Regional Property Manager

Regional Property Manager
Knoxville, TN
$120,000 – $130,000 / year base + bonus

OVERVIEW

A national multifamily real estate owner/operator is hiring a Regional Manager for its Greater Knoxville portfolio — five properties, about 1,500 units. The portfolio is market rate, Class A/B, garden-style low- and mid-rise, with a mix of new construction, well-kept vintage product, and active lease-ups.

This is a hands-on regional role for someone who wants to run real operations, not just review reports.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Oversee day-to-day operations across the Knoxville-area portfolio (three properties, ~1,500 units) plus two outlying communities


• Drive leasing, maintenance, and collections performance at every site


• Coach and develop on-site teams — property managers, leasing staff, and maintenance


• Manage expenses day to day, negotiate vendor contracts, and find real cost savings (the asset management team builds the budgets; you manage to them)


• Lead lease-up strategy for new and repositioning properties — market surveys, competitive comps, rent positioning


• Read a transient, seasonal rental market and adjust tenant attraction and retention strategy to match it


• Partner with asset management and ownership on performance reporting


• Visit sites regularly, spot-check operations, and solve problems on the ground


• Track portfolio performance in AppFolio

WHY YOU MATTER

A regional manager is what turns several separate properties into one well-run portfolio. You're the one making sure every site runs tight, every team is coached up, and every dollar is accounted for — without anyone needing to look over your shoulder.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 5+ years running multifamily operations across multiple sites, including lease-ups


• Strong grasp of property financials — can manage to a budget even if you didn't build it


• Comfortable negotiating vendor contracts and finding genuine expense savings


• Experience positioning and marketing new or recently renovated communities


• A real leasing, maintenance, and collections background, not just oversight


• A track record of coaching and developing on-site teams


• AppFolio experience, or comparable property management software


• Comfortable traveling regularly between properties


• Able to read a local rental market and adjust strategy to it

THE PERKS!

• $120,000 – $130,000/year base, plus performance-based bonus


• Health and dental coverage with a company contribution


• Mileage reimbursement
