THE ROLE

Desert Sol Villas is a newly built townhome community set against Moab's red rock landscape, offering both whole-unit and per-bedroom rentals to residents drawn to an active, outdoor lifestyle. The Property Manager owns the day-to-day performance of the community — leasing, resident experience, financial results, and the physical asset — and is the on-site face of a brand built around adventure, comfort, and modern desert living.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

■ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

— Achieve or exceed budgeted occupancy, revenue, and NOI; provide market-informed input to the annual budget.

— Review financials monthly and submit written variance explanations for every material line item on schedule.

— Approve invoices and control expenses within delegated authority; escalate anything beyond it before committing the property.

— Own rent collection and delinquency end to end — posting, follow-up, payment plans within policy, notices, and eviction coordination with counsel.

— Ensure daily deposits, accurate ledgers, correct deposit accounting, and clean move-out dispositions within statutory deadlines.

■ LEASING, MARKETING & REVENUE

— Drive qualified traffic through ILS listings, digital advertising, outreach, referrals, and resident events.

— Maintain a current market survey and recommend pricing and concession adjustments supported by data.

— Personally lease and hold the team to lease; apply screening criteria consistently and document every decision.

— Execute leases accurately and run a proactive renewal program beginning at least 90 days out.

— Keep models, tour paths, and curb appeal at a standard you would show ownership unannounced.

— On lease-up assets, execute the lease-up plan and report absorption against projections weekly.

■ RESIDENT EXPERIENCE & RETENTION

— Serve as the escalation point for resident concerns — respond promptly, document thoroughly, resolve fairly.

— Enforce lease terms and community policies consistently and without exception based on protected class.

— Monitor and respond to online reviews; act on the causes of avoidable move-outs.

■ PHYSICAL ASSET & MAINTENANCE

— Walk the property regularly and correct deficiencies before they become complaints.

— Partner with the Maintenance Supervisor on work order flow, make-ready turns, and preventive maintenance.

— Solicit bids, verify vendor insurance, and hold contractors to scope and schedule; support capital projects and warranty punch lists.

— Maintain emergency procedures and lead the on-site response to after-hours emergencies.

■ COMPLIANCE, RISK & REPORTING

— Comply fully with Fair Housing, ADA, and applicable landlord-tenant law in every state of assignment.

— Follow all program requirements applicable to the asset, including HUD-insured, workforce, and income-restricted rules where they apply.

— Maintain audit-ready resident files; report incidents, injuries, and liability exposures immediately.

— Deliver accurate weekly reporting and on-time month-end packages with narratives written for an ownership audience.

— Escalate material legal, safety, financial, or reputational issues immediately — not at the next scheduled report.
