Job description

Property Manager/ Assistant Property Manager

PROPERTY MANAGER / ASSISTANT PROPERTY MANAGER
Less stress. Better service. A better way to build your career.

Are you an experienced Property Manager tired of managing too many properties and constantly feeling under pressure? Or are you looking to start your career in real estate and passionate about becoming a Property Manager? DJ Smith Property could be the place for you.

We are a boutique real estate agency in Cairns, proudly operating since 2011. Our business has been built around one simple philosophy: Quality over Quantity.

Our owners choose us because they value personal service, communication and attention to detail. As more owners choose DJ Smith Property, our portfolio continues to grow — but we are determined to grow without compromising the quality of our service or putting unnecessary pressure on our team.

At many large agencies, a Property Manager may be responsible for 120–150 properties. Our target is around 75 properties per Property Manager, giving you enough time to communicate with owners and tenants properly, manage your portfolio effectively and feel more comfortable and confident in your role. Because we carefully select the properties we manage and the tenants we place, we seldom have situations involving serious rent arrears, evictions or QCAT matters. Less conflict means less stress, a better working environment and more enjoyment coming to work every day.

No Property Management Experience? If you are motivated, responsible and genuinely interested in building a career in real estate, we are happy to train and support you. You will have the opportunity to learn the right way from the beginning and develop your skills with guidance from experienced property management professionals — rather than being thrown into a large portfolio and expected to work everything out yourself.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in property management or keen to start a career in the industry

• QLD licensed or willing to obtain a licence

• Professional, reliable and well organised

• A confident communicator with owners, tenants and contractors

• Comfortable with technology and administration

• Calm and professional under pressure

• Responsible and willing to take ownership of their work

• A positive team player who is willing to learn

• Looking for a long-term career,not just another job

• A safe and responsible driver of the company vehicle

What We Offer

• Manageable portfolio of around 75 properties

• Less stress and a healthier workload

• Quality owners and tenants

• Training and ongoing support

• Good salary and performance-based incentives

• Modern technology and systems

• Opportunity to learn and develop your property management skills

• This is a full-time position, although part-time commencement may be considered for the right candidate, depending on their experience and skills

Quality over Quantity — for our staff too.

We believe that if we look after our staff, they can provide better service to our owners and tenants. We want our team to have enough time to do their job properly, continue learning and be recognised for their contribution.

Join DJ Smith Property and grow with us — without sacrificing your work-life balance or the quality of service you provide.
