The first step in getting a commercial property manager job description is to get your real estate license (REO). Most commercial properties will require that you have at least a GED before applying for the position. Most commercial property managers also require that you have at least three years of experience as an agent.
Another part of the commercial property manager job description is maintaining a portfolio of properties. You must maintain these portfolios with pictures of the property, and any information that is related to the property that could be useful for an agent. It is important that you keep the property up to date on payments, and that you provide the REO with accurate information so that the property owner can sell the property fast. There are certain criteria that will determine the amount of work that you can do for a property, and your agent will ask you for a list of properties that you currently manage.
If you want to work in real estate, then your first step is to take some courses at a community college or vocational school. Once you’ve taken a few classes, you should be ready to get started. It is not recommended that you take a class just to get a job as a real estate agent, but rather take classes that you think you will have an interest in. For example, you may want to take a class about accounting, and another course about real estate law.
Do not try to enroll in more classes than you are prepared to handle, as this can waste time and money and make it difficult for you to pass all of the required courses. When you have finished all of the requirements for the licensing exam, you may be able to get a job in a real estate brokerage firm, but this will depend on what type of license you have and how long you have been working as an agent. In many cases you will need to be licensed for more than one brokerage company.
When you begin working as a broker you will not be the one that actually does all of the work; your job is to make sure that all the necessary paperwork and permits are done correctly by the property owner. You are the person that is in charge of collecting the rent, making sure that everything is in order, and keeping track of any taxes that need to be paid. You will also handle any inspections, and inspections that are needed as part of the property owner agreement.
Do not assume that you have to deal with the property owner every day. Many brokers do their own accounting, and you may have to have a hand in this, especially if there are more than one property to manage. As a broker, you will be in charge of getting the money for the property and collecting it from the property owner or investors.
If you are considering entering into this business as a part-time job, or for an extended period of time, then you will have to be prepared to work as hard as you work on real estate. As you become more experienced, you can start to handle much of the work that is done by a real estate agent and be a member of the commission that is paid to the real estate agent. Your pay will increase as your career moves forward, as will your salary.
