  • Maintain investor contact records, distribution logs, and related administrative records.
  • Track deal leads, broker conversations, investor conversations, and recurring outreach items.
  • Help keep pipeline, contact, and follow-up information accurate, organized, and easy to review.
  • Assist with light research and data entry related to properties, contacts, companies, and markets.
• Accounting & Administrative Coordination:
  • Track incoming invoices, receipts, payment requests, and expense documentation.
  • Coordinate with bookkeepers, accountants, and internal team members to ensure financial records are organized.
