Client Services Specialist

Join a Team That Owns It and Gets Stuff Done

At GC Realty & Development, client service isn't about putting out fires-it's about preventing them, communicating clearly, and delivering the right solution the first time.

We're not looking for someone who avoids tough conversations or waits to be told what to do. We're looking for a Client Services Specialist who takes ownership, moves fast, and knows how to balance urgency with professionalism.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving problems, and take pride in delivering a high-quality client experience every single day-this role may be for you.

Role Overview

As a Client Services Specialist, you are the primary point of contact for property owners. You'll manage client communication, coordinate with internal teams, review financials, obtain approvals, and ensure owners feel informed, confident, and cared for.

This role requires strong judgment, emotional intelligence, and the ability to stay calm and decisive-even when things get complicated.

This Role Is a Strong Fit If You:

• Take full ownership of your work and follow through without reminders

• Communicate clearly, confidently, and professionally-especially in difficult situations

• Stay calm under pressure and prioritize effectively when everything feels urgent
