Property Administrator
Our Property Administrators ensure that our tenants and vendors have a great experience and feel supported, heard, and responded to as part of the Intersection family and on behalf of the property owners. Our Property Administrator (PA) is the first point of contact for Intersection's commercial tenants and vendors, fielding incoming communications via phone, text and email and Angus, responding or routing to the appropriate person. PAs coordinate all work orders and manage communication between tenants, Intersection, and vendors, ensuring that work is completed thoroughly and on time.
The maintenance and hygiene of all digital files and information databases in Asana, One Drive, SyncedTool, Yardi and others is part of the day-to-day responsibility for a PA. PAs also assist the REM and REM with reports, letters and other communication for clients, tenants, and vendors.
