What does a property manager do in a small business?

  • Runs day-to-day operations for residential or commercial properties.
  • Handles leasing, rent collection, tenant issues and vendor work orders.
  • Tracks budgets and reports on occupancy, income and maintenance to the owner.

Why the right hire matters

  • Occupancy. Units are leased and renewed on time.
  • Cash flow. Rent is collected and costs are watched.
  • Tenant experience. Requests and repairs are handled before they become complaints.

What do we screen property managers for?

  • Experience managing properties of your type and size
  • The property management software you use
  • References from past employers, checked before you meet them
  • A commute to your office they can keep up
Ways to hire a property managerDirect HirePeople who join your team for good. You pay once, when they start.
What we check before you meet them

This is recruiter screening. Your own hiring checks still apply.

Pay by state

What does a property manager earn?

It depends on where the job is. Three things move pay from state to state.

Cost of living

Pay tends to sit above the national average in high-cost states and metros, and below it where living costs are lower.

Local demand

Where more employers are hiring for a role than there are candidates, offers rise.

On-site, hybrid or remote

On-site roles are priced by the local market. Remote roles draw on a wider pool, which changes what candidates expect.
