Property Manager Interview Questions

Property owners hire property managers to oversee duties related to their residences such as rent, tenant relations, and maintenance upkeep. Interviewers are looking for candidates who have excellent communication skills and can complete projects and assist tenants in a timely fashion. Be ready to discuss experience in the field and how you would handle difficult tenant scenarios.

Top Property Manager Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: How will you market our property to prospective tenants?

How to answer
How to answer: You need to show the interviewer that you understand the property owner's target market and know how to approach their potential customers in an effective way. Some of the things you can do to market a property include online advertising, local advertising, onsite advertising, and approaching businesses or other organizations directly.
Question 2

Question #2: How will you choose individuals or companies to take care of maintenance and repair work in the property?

How to answer
How to answer: Tell your potential employer that you'll do proper research, compare prices, read reviews and references, and assign test orders. By monitoring and supervising the workers, you'll eventually find the right candidate for each given area.
Question 3

Question #3: A tenant has been late with their payment for two consecutive months. What will you do?

How to answer
How to answer: This question seeks to test your problem-solving skills. Let your interviewer know that you'll pay the tenant a visit in person and politely ask them if they're experiencing any problems. Depending on the reason for the late payments, you may change the payment schedule or just give a friendly warning.

What would you expect from me as a supervisor? I find this hard to gauge, because you could easily say the wrong thing. Sometimes we don't find out what we need from a supervisor with regards to motivation and coaching, until we've worked with a person. This industry is highly focused on customer and rental revenue, so we talked a lot about that. She did mention (this was in 2010), how the company has new leadership and was heading in a better direction with regards to company culture. I heard from many long time employees that today was a much better feel with the culture rather than even a few years ago.
