Front Desk Receptionist

If you like a job where no two days look the same — and where the work you do actually shows up in how people feel about where they live — read on.

Elm Grove Companies is looking for a Front Desk Receptionist to be the welcoming first point of contact at our office. You'll greet residents, prospects, and vendors, keep the front desk running smoothly, and lend a hand to two teams: Property Management and Marketing. It's a role with real variety, and a great seat for anyone who wants to learn the real estate business from the inside.

We're a full-service real estate firm operating throughout New England, with offices across New Hampshire and Central Massachusetts. Our work spans development, construction, renovation, acquisitions, property management, and asset management — and we manage a growing portfolio of apartment communities across the region.

People are at the center of how we operate. We care about the experience of our residents, our clients, and our team, and we're proud of the sense of community that comes with that.

Our Culture & Values

At Elm Grove Companies, our values aren’t just words — they’re how we work every day. We lead with Respect, collaborate through Synergy, take Accountability for our actions, show up with Dependability, and embrace a Growth Mindset in everything we do.

We expect every team member to live these values daily — in how they communicate, solve problems, and support one another. We offer freedom to think, create, and contribute without micromanagement, and we hold each other to a high standard of ownership and integrity.

If these values align with how you work and who you are, we want to talk with you.
