Property Management can feel like a thankless job.
And a lot of the time, it comes down to the same things - unrealistic workloads, poor systems, disjointed team structures and simply not having enough time to properly manage the portfolio in front of you.

When you're juggling 200+ properties, constantly putting out fires, chasing maintenance, answering emails and dealing with competing demands from tenants and landlords, it's pretty hard to feel like you're actually doing a good job - let alone building genuine relationships with the people you manage properties for.

And that's not how Property Management should have to feel.

Our client has built their Property Management teams around a different philosophy.

Keep the portfolios manageable.
Give good Property Managers the autonomy to actually manage their own portfolios.
And, importantly, have the right people and support around them when they need it.

The opportunity...
Our client is a well-established real estate group with presence across the Hunter, Newcastle and Central Coast regions.
While the group is large, each office operates with a small, close-knit Property Management team, giving you the backing and resources of a major franchise while retaining the personal feel of a local office.

What's on offer...

- A manageable portfolio — capped at 150 properties, with workloads structured around team and experience.
- Autonomy without isolation — trusted to get on with the job, with an experienced Head of Department available when you need them. No micromanagement, no constant hand-holding.
- A dedicated PM Relief Specialist — an experienced Property Manager who is a genuine part of the team, stepping in to cover leave,



unexpected absences and busy periods. Your portfolio stays in capable hands, even when you’re away — and you won’t come back to 500 unanswered emails.
- General accounting covered — so you can focus on Property Management rather than back-end administration.
- PropertyMe — established systems and processes already in place.
- Big-brand backing, small-team feel — access to the wider network, systems and resources without losing the personal feel of your local office.
- Immediate opportunities available — 2x Property Manager positions are currently available, with portfolios to be allocated across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.
- $90,000-$100,000 inclusive of super, depending on experience.
- Company vehicle available — with the option to negotiate this into your package if preferred.
- Bonus structure being introduced to recognise exceptional performance, with additional earning potential up to $500/month.
- Team building and wider franchise events — the fun stuff, without the forced "team bonding" for the sake of it.

The role...
This is a genuine end-to-end Property Management position for someone comfortable managing their portfolio independently.
You'll be responsible for:

- Managing your residential portfolio from start to finish
- Building strong relationships with landlords and tenants
- Managing maintenance,



repairs and contractors
- Conducting your own routine inspections
- Managing leases, renewals, terminations, arrears and tenancy matters
- Handling enquiries, issues and escalations
- Ensuring compliance with NSW legislation
- Keeping owners informed and delivering a high level of service

Who we would love to talk to...
We're looking for experienced Property Managers who are competent, capable and comfortable running their own portfolio — AND want better.
You'll ideally bring:

- 2+ years' Property Management experience with strong end-to-end knowledge
- Confidence working independently across the full PM lifecycle
- Solid knowledge of NSW tenancy legislation
- Excellent organisation, communication and problem-solving skills
- A genuine focus on landlord and tenant relationships
- A willingness to remain hands-on, including conducting your own inspections
- Current NSW Certificate of Registration or Licence
- Current driver's licence and reliable vehicle

Most importantly, you know your stuff.
You know how to prioritise, communicate before you're chased, make decisions and get on with the job. You're comfortable working independently, but know when to ask for support.
