About the Role
The Portfolio Condominium Property Manager is the primary liaison and trusted advisor to the boards of trustees for a portfolio of condominium associations.

It suits a seasoned professional who thrives on partnering with boards, exercising sound judgment, and protecting and enhancing the value of the communities we serve.
