What soft skills should all Assistant Property Managers possess?
Pieter Van Der Have: People skills are always important but have to be tempered by legal and fiscal accountabilities. In many cases, the p.m. may end up being a project manager responsible for managing contracts and contractors.
What hard/technical skills are most important for Assistant Property Managers?
Pieter Van Der Have: Up-to-date computer skills are certainly desirable. I don't necessarily recommend that a p.m. have plumbing or electrical skills, though a general understanding of building systems could frequently be very useful.
What skills stand out on Assistant Property Manager resumes?
Pieter Van Der Have: Communication and financial/accounting skills, closely followed by an understanding of how "smart" buildings function.
What skills will help Assistant Property Managers earn the most?
Pieter Van Der Have: I believe understanding the true vision/purpose and the culture of the enterprise (company) is extremely essential to a successful career. Coupled, of course, with the ability to implement long-term planning activities and processes in support (exceeding?) the vision of the enterprise.
