Property Manager Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, reconciled rent receipts and outstanding balances, tracked maintenance requests through tenant confirmation, and checked vendor invoices against the approved service scope.
- The team managed tenant requests through severity, lease responsibility, access, vendor dispatch, and closure evidence; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team made service ownership and resolution status visible to tenants and operators; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- The team built annual property budgets from contracts, utilities, maintenance plans, occupancy, and capital priorities; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team linked forecast changes to operating drivers instead of unexplained variance; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
- Under supervision, designed a property-management budget using contracted maintenance schedules, reconciled monthly invoices and completed an owner-approved forecast separating committed costs from estimates.
- Under supervision, owned a property-management maintenance review using tenant requests and service logs, resolved overdue repairs and completed the monthly operations report with owners.
- Under supervision, built a budgeting worksheet using approved contracts and invoice checks, reduced unexplained monthly budget variances by 23% and published the reconciliation trail.
Selected project
Property Manager — independent case study
Intern project team member
Sep 2025 - May 2026
- In a mentor-reviewed simulation, managed tenant requests through severity, lease responsibility, access, vendor dispatch, and closure evidence; made service ownership and resolution status visible to tenants and operators.
- As a second supervised exercise, built annual property budgets from contracts, utilities, maintenance plans, occupancy, and capital priorities; linked forecast changes to operating drivers instead of unexplained variance.
- Under supervision, the team audited lease milestones, renewals, certificates, insurance, rent changes, and approval records; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review
- Built a synthetic service queue with arrival times, case categories and handoff events; compared the original and revised process using elapsed time and reopened cases rather than assuming every delay needed more staff.
- Documented routing rules, exception owners and the conditions for escalation; walked an incomplete case through the process and revised the handoff where required information was lost.
- Owned the simulated operations queue using explicit escalation rules, resolved duplicate requests and completed a handoff checklist with a decision owner for each exception.
