A Day In The Life of a Property Manager:

• Arrive on time each day ready to conquer the day!
• Catch up on any missed calls or emails from the night before (responsiveness is important)
• Walk all areas of the property (which we call the 4 corners) to ensure the property is trash free and looks its best for all the residents and visitors that day.
• Be excited to show your property off by scheduling as many tours as possible with potential residents, leasing is the key to success, and it’s fun!
• Utilize your creativity by updating your properties social media pages, planning resident events, open houses, and any other fun marketing ideas you think of.

• Order any inventory needed, but price check options first (just like you would if you were writing the check)
• Complete your move-outs by walking the apartments and charging back for any damages. Schedule vendors right away so the apartment can be marketed and re-leased quickly.
• Work through any resident concerns, using your problem-solving skills to resolve them as quickly as possible, just solve it!
• Submit invoices so that your vendors can be paid promptly, they appreciate that!
• Communicate regularly with your maintenance team to make sure all maintenance requests are completed quickly, and the vacant apartments are made move-in ready.
• Collect bids for any special projects, always price checking to ensure we are getting the highest quality at the best price.
• Make sure all necessary contracts are in place such as snow removal, and lawn care. Regular communication with these vendors will avoid some headaches.
• Double check the various websites your property is marketed on to ensure accurate pricing.
• Stay up to date on company policies and procedures by reading the daily training emails and any other information that gets sent to you.
• Treat everyone equally and fairly, it’s not only the law, but also the right thing to do.
