The Role

As our Property Manager, you will be responsible (with help of an assistant) for the end-to-end management of a well-maintained, local portfolio. You’ll have the autonomy to manage your workload effectively while being fully supported by a collaborative and experienced team.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing a residential portfolio of 130 – 160 properties
• Liaising professionally with landlords and tenants
• Conducting routine inspections and managing maintenance
• Coordinating repairs and trades
• Managing rent reviews and lease renewals
• Ensuring compliance with Victorian tenancy legislation
• Arrears management and general portfolio administration

• Are calm, professional, and solution-focused
• Value honest relationships and ethical work practices
• Enjoy being part of a team that supports one another
• Take pride in delivering high-quality, personalised service

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a high-pressure, process-heavy corporate environment. This is a people-first business where your contribution is noticed, your growth is supported, and your ideas are welcomed. If you’re looking for long-term career satisfaction in a genuinely warm and professional workplace — this is it.
