Resident Services Coordinator

Working for Equity Residential means being part of a community – employees and residents – striving to provide the best in apartment living, speaking boldly about new ideas for innovation, and inspiring creativity in the ways we live and work together. That’s what our Be.Think.Play.Live. culture is all about.

Our Resident Services Coordinators contribute to a community’s success by bringing residents and maintenance teams together. They are multitalented, personable individuals with a passion for building relationships, developing rapport and inspiring trust by caring for our community and making our apartments feel like home.

You will listen carefully to residents’ needs and collaborate with the maintenance team to ensure customer satisfaction. Resident Services Coordinators bring positive energy to each conversation, follow up on maintenance issues quickly and effectively, and make everyone feel welcome and appreciated.
