Being a Property Director at Wood Residential Services is a combination of management, sales, marketing and customer service. Your success in growing and improving your apartment community every day, your demonstrated work ethic, sense of integrity and collaboration are all tested and rewarded in this management role.

Duties: Being a Wood Residential Property Director is more than just setting work schedules and managing apartment communities; it is about creating a community and recognizing with every interaction that this is home for your customers.
