• Demonstrated financial management skills, including budgeting, operating expense oversight, and financial reporting.
• Solid working knowledge of NYC housing regulations and regulatory compliance affecting residential properties.

Compensation and Career Growth

• Base salary: $120,000–$140,000 , commensurate with experience.
• Compensation growth directly tied to the size and complexity of the portfolio you successfully manage.
• Additional earning potential for candidates holding an active New York real estate salesperson's license through rental brokerage opportunities.
• Exceptional long-term advancement opportunities within one of New York City's fastest-growing boutique management companies.

Why Building Equity Management

We're intentionally different from the large, corporate property management firms.

Our culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative, highly responsive, and refreshingly non-corporate. We don't believe in excessive bureaucracy or layers of management. We hire people who take ownership, solve problems, and genuinely enjoy making buildings run better.

Unlike many larger firms where responsibilities are narrowly defined, our managers are expected to think like owners, make decisions, and take initiative. If you're looking for a role where you can have a meaningful impact on the business—not just your own portfolio—you'll thrive here.

As our company continues to grow, high performers are entrusted with larger portfolios, greater responsibility, leadership opportunities, and increased compensation. Your career advancement is driven by your performance—not by waiting for someone else to retire.

If you hold a New York real estate salesperson's license, you'll also have the opportunity to earn additional income through rental brokerage activity.

Finally, we encourage prospective candidates to read our client reviews on Yelp and Google. We believe our reputation for responsiveness, professionalism, and client service speaks for itself.

• If you're an ambitious property manager looking to accelerate your career with one of New York City's fastest-growing boutique management firms, we'd love to hear from you.
