condo(minium) property manager, property manager


Explanation:
Essentially in consonance with Erkki's suggestion, the equivalent you're looking for could also be either condo(minium) property manager or just property manager, depending on the context. Please see the examples and the reference below.

Example sentence(s):
  • In general, a condominium property manager has two primary responsibilities: to manage a community's daily operations and to carry out policies set by the condo board.
  • The property manager is responsible for performing property inspections, and is the person or organization to contact if you have a concern about a maintenance or repair issue.

agree  Pertti Hietaranta: Agree with this one also esp. in view of the fact that in US English the meaning 'property management' may also be conveyed by the expression "real estate management", cf. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/property...
