Real Estate Administrative Assistant

Description

Executive, Operations & Client Care Assistant

MetroHouse | Northern Virginia

Part-Time | Primarily In-Person / Field-Based

Schedule

This is a part-time position, approximately 15-25 hours per week to start, with a flexible schedule based on business needs. There is potential for the role to grow as MetroHouse continues to expand. Because this is a client-facing, hands-on position, some weeks may require greater flexibility than others.

MetroHouse is seeking a highly organized, resourceful, polished, and service-oriented Executive, Operations & Client Care Assistant to provide hands-on support to company leadership, clients, and our growing real estate business. This is not a traditional desk-based administrative position. MetroHouse already has remote administrative support in place.


We are looking for someone local who can become a trusted boots-on-the-ground partner-someone who can take ownership of details, provide an exceptional level of care to clients, and help ensure that the business operates seamlessly behind the scenes. The ideal candidate is proactive, dependable, warm, professional, and exceptionally detail-oriented. You enjoy taking care of people, anticipate needs before they are expressed, and are comfortable working in an environment where every day may look a little different.

• Represent MetroHouse with warmth, professionalism, discretion, and excellent judgment

Real Estate & Business Operations

• Coordinate access for photographers, contractors, stagers, inspectors, vendors, and other service providers
• Assist with preparing listings for market
• Deliver and retrieve signs, lockboxes, marketing materials, documents, client gifts, and supplies
• Help ensure properties are properly prepared before photography, showings, open houses, and client appointments

Executive Support

• Provide hands-on support to company leadership
• Handle local errands and time-sensitive assignments
• Assist with meeting and event preparation
• Coordinate appointments, reservations, deliveries, and service providers when a local presence is required
• Help organize the office, materials, supplies, and other business resources
• Assist with occasional personal and executive tasks
• Work collaboratively with MetroHouse's remote administrative support so that online coordination and in-person execution happen seamlessly
• Keep leadership informed without requiring constant oversight
• Take ownership of assignments and follow through from beginning to completion

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means becoming someone our leadership and clients know they can rely on.

When a client needs something, you care about making sure it gets handled. When a property needs attention, you take ownership. When something unexpected happens, you look for a solution.

You anticipate. You communicate. You follow through.

Ultimately, your role is to help create more time and capacity for company leadership while helping MetroHouse deliver a level of service that clients remember long after their transaction is complete.
