Property Manager: Jacks and Jills of All Trades
February 20, 2019
The secret to handling such a diverse lineup of responsibilities is to serve your community one resident at a time, with whatever hat you feel is most fitting.
As property managers, we are indeed the “Jack of All Trades.” One day we are financial analysts, the next day we are marketers, the following day we may be scrubbing a toilet or planning the next resident event. It’s a great industry for someone who doesn’t like the monotony of a day-to-day desk job, but it can certainly be exhausting switching hats all day long. Some days I feel that I am more of a counselor to hurting residents, and some days I feel like more of a quality inspector. Starting the day with an open mind and an attitude ready to serve is really the most effective way to succeed in this industry.
