Have you always wanted to manage rental or retail properties? If you’re interested in getting involved in real estate without being a realtor, being a property manager fits your interests perfectly. Nevertheless, those in property management are always looking for advancement opportunities – more responsibilities, more properties to manage – and the listing of jobs on our website provides several options.

Property management jobs cover opportunities in residential and commercial real estate. A property manager for an apartment building, for example, essentially sees the operations of the staff and of tenants. He or she should have solid computer skills in Microsoft Office and accounting software, such as QuickBooks. More important are budget preparation and financial analysis skills. A property manager often has to do more than collect rent. He or she may do financial reporting and analyze the overall amount that each property makes – or costs – the company.

Aside from managing the staff, a property manager oversees real estate and the renters. This includes interacting with tenants to collect rent, renew leases, and to listen to and resolve any complaints. He or she may interview tenants and, later, inspect their apartments or businesses. Building up and managing a property portfolio are other important duties for all property management jobs. This includes keeping records of all repairs and contracted services for each property managed.

Property management jobs cover the range of residential to commercial properties, but many of the same skills are needed for both. When it comes to acquiring such experience, many of the skills needed are learned on the job. Someone may start in a clerical or administrative position in a property office and work his or her way up to being a property manager. However, another option is an apprenticeship approach through an internship. Property management offices offer internship opportunities, and someone with an interest may be able to score such a position to learn from a full-time property manager for a few months.

Education needed for most property management jobs ranges from a high school diploma to a bachelor degree. For the former, however, a significant amount of experience and computer skills are needed to supplement a lack of higher education.

ManagementJobs.net has several property management jobs in various locations. The listings are compiled from several different job boards, so that you only need to go to one place in your job search.
