The main ingredient in a well developed community is the team. So, a Community Manager must be a team player, understanding how to LEAD the team with their example of professionalism.

Secondly, you must have strong customer skills. Your customers are the owners, the residents and the prospects - all must be highly regarded. Thus, you must be very versatile and flexible, understanding how to properly increase NOI while improving or maintaining resident retention. You must be personable.

The third (but certainly not the final) trait of a successful community manager would be enjoyment of the job. You must like the business in order to succeed. High energy and enthusiam required for this job only comes with the simple fulfillment of the job!

This position requires confidence and having a to do list so that you prioritize your time helped me.

I learned after my 1st PM job that is best to call the tenants by Mr or Miss using their last name keeps things professional.

Having tenant meetings and include your staff so everyone is on the same page and can answer questions or share their opinons as part of the team for the same goal of the property.
