Executive Assistant - Real Estate Property Management
Worldwide
Remote / Work From Home | Company based in California About Us: We are a real estate company that manages a portfolio of residential rental properties across the United States, focused on maintaining organized, efficient, and well-coordinated property operations. Role Summary: We are looking for an Executive Assistant who will primarily support the day-to-day operations of a U.S.-based portfolio of residential rental properties. This is a full-time position, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM CST, with a fixed monthly rate. Weekend availability for urgent matters is expected. This role is focused on ensuring smooth coordination across property management activities, including tenant communications, lease tracking, vendor coordination, and overall portfolio organization. While the primary focus is on real estate operations, the role may also provide occasional support across other business lines, including ecommerce and government contracting. The EA will serve as a trusted right hand to the executive, handling administrative, coordination, and communication tasks with a high level of discretion, accuracy, and responsiveness. This position is designed to grow beyond traditional EA duties into a broader operations and leadership support role over time. Role Focus: This role is focused on providing high-level executive, operational, and coordination support on a growing U.S. real estate portfolio to ensure efficiency, accountability, and seamless execution of daily activities. A Note on Culture and Expectations: This is a high-output, fast-paced role that rewards people who like to be challenged, take ownership, and grow. You will be exposed to multiple business lines, real operational problems, and situations that require independent thinking and sound judgment. There is real opportunity here to expand your skills, take on increasing responsibility, and develop both professionally and personally. This is not the right role for someone looking to coast, stay on autopilot, or split attention with another full-time job. We move quickly, standards are high, and the executive you support will depend on you to be fully present and fully committed. If that sounds exciting to you, read on. Key Responsibilities: • Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Operations Assistant, or similar administrative/coordination role in a real estate setting • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage a portfolio of rental houses in the U.S. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a high level of professionalism and discretion • Ability to work independently, take initiative, and anticipate needs with minimal supervision • Strong attention to detail with a focus on accuracy in scheduling, documentation, and task tracking • Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments with shifting priorities • Proficient in calendar management tools, email systems, and basic operational tracking systems (e.g., Google Workspace, CRM/task tools) • Strong coordination skills in managing vendors, contractors, and external stakeholders • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to stay organized under pressure Work Environment: • 100% Remote (must have reliable work-from-home setup) • Full-time role, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM CST with a fixed monthly compensation • Weekend availability required for time-sensitive or urgent items • Works directly with executive leadership across multiple business units (real estate, ecommerce, and government contracting) • Fast-paced and dynamic environment with shifting priorities across different operational areas • Requires strong responsiveness and the ability to manage time-sensitive tasks across multiple time zones or schedules • High level of trust, confidentiality, and discretion is required at all times • Regular coordination with vendors, contractors, tenants, and external partners • Use of digital tools for communication, scheduling, task tracking, and documentation • Performance is measured by accuracy, reliability, responsiveness, and execution quality — not just task volume Technical Requirements: • Reliable high-speed internet connection (minimum 50 Mbps preferred) • Backup internet connection (LTE mobile data or pocket Wi-Fi) for redundancy • Laptop or desktop computer with at least Intel i5 equivalent or higher processor • Minimum 8GB RAM (16GB preferred for smoother multitasking across tools) • Updated operating system (Windows or macOS) with ability to run modern productivity tools • Noise-canceling headset with clear microphone for calls and virtual meetings • Functional webcam for occasional meetings or check-ins • Proficiency with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets) or equivalent tools • Comfortable using task management and communication tools (Slack, Click Up, or similar platforms) • Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new systems, tools, and workflows What’s Next: 1.
