Job description
Frontline Real Estate Partners is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Residential Property Manager to support the continued growth of our residential property management division. This position offers a unique opportunity to manage a diverse portfolio of market rate and affordable multifamily assets including Class B and C properties located in urban and economically challenged neighborhoods throughout the Chicago MSA and surrounding states. Many of these assets are distressed, underperforming, or in transition and may be managed through court-appointed receiverships, lender-directed assignments, or REO engagements.

Our residential team frequently works with properties facing operational, physical, financial, or compliance challenges. Successful candidates must be comfortable working in neighborhoods that may present heightened management, safety, and operational complexities and should have a practical, hands-on approach to problem solving. These are not passive assets, and the role requires strong judgment, accountability, and a willingness to actively engage in the field when needed.
Frontline specializes in navigating complex property conditions and delivering reliable, hands-on management solutions to stabilize operations, improve resident satisfaction, and protect asset value.
As a Residential Property Manager at Frontline, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of assigned properties, working both in the office and on-site. Property managers regularly spend time visiting assets, meeting with residents, vendors, municipalities, and contractors, and evaluating property conditions firsthand. You will be responsible for vendor coordination, resident relations, subsidy compliance, maintenance oversight, budget creation, rent collection, and code compliance. The ideal candidate is organized, responsive, and capable of managing multiple sites and tasks in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
This position is best suited for a property manager who enjoys solving problems, improving challenged assets, and taking ownership of complex situations rather than simply maintaining stabilized properties.
