Communication


One of the most important skills that you need to succeed as a property manager is good communication, something you will be doing a vast amount of in this role on a daily basis. Communication is a key part of being a property manager, and you need to be able to do so effectively with people of all levels. 


Much of your work will involve speaking with clients, meeting with new and current tenants, speaking with contractors and arranging maintenance. You need to be a confident communicator to work as a property manager, and be comfortable speaking with new people on a daily basis.


Time-Management


Working in property management can be super busy and you might be rushed off your feet on certain days, so you need to ensure that you can get everything done. This is where good time management comes in, and ensuring that you give yourself plenty of time in the day to complete all of your allocated tasks.


You will have a lot of tasks that you need to get done, many of which share priority, so you need to be able to manage your time and multi-task to make sure that everything is completed. You will need to be able to learn how to work efficiently, and to multi-task when needed to get your job done in the alloted time.


Organisation


You also need to have strong organisational skills, to ensure that you get everything completed and to a high standard. As a property manager, there is no room for error or mistakes as you are dealing with different properties on a daily basis so you need to be super organised.


There will be lots of tasks that may appear all at once for you to look after, and it will be your responsibility to stay organised and manage everything that you have to do. You might be interviewing a potential tenant, collecting rent, visiting a property or meeting your client all in the same day - so good organisation skills are key.
