Real Estate Operations Manager

Position Overview

This is a part-time role with growth potential, requiring 15-25 hours per week (with room for growth), with flexibility and occasional on-call responsibilities. This position is essential to keeping my business running smoothly, ensuring that transactions, marketing, and client relations are handled seamlessly.

This role is for someone with real estate experience who enjoys the operational and administrative side of the business without the desire to become a real estate agent. I need someone highly organized, proactive, and adaptable, who thrives in a fast-paced environment and isn’t fazed by shifting priorities.

If you’re the kind of person who loves checking things off a list, keeping everything (and everyone) on track, and taking ownership of your work, this could be a great fit.
