About the job

Fairstead is a mission-driven real estate firm committed to creating affordable communities nationwide. Based in New York, with additional offices in Colorado, Florida, and Washington DC, Fairstead proudly manages a portfolio of over 27,000 apartments across 28 states. As a fully integrated owner, operator, and innovator, we unify development, construction, and property management to deliver high-quality affordable housing, serving our residents on a large scale.

At Fairstead, we hold the belief that affordable housing should be thoughtfully designed, professionally managed, and operated with responsibility. Our goal is to create and preserve housing that not only serves residents but also delivers long-term value to communities, partners, and stakeholders. We challenge industry standards with our tech-forward, entrepreneurial approach to affordable housing. Beyond our core real estate capabilities, we implement innovative service lines aimed at enhancing resident outcomes, fortifying communities, and streamlining operational efficiency.

Additionally, you will act as a liaison between landlords and external legal counsel, and assist with filing and following up on all legal matters, including evictions and non-compliance.
