Company: RE/MAX
Job Type: Part-time with opportunity for full-time

Alternative base + incentive structure may be considered for the right candidate.
About the Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Licensed Rental Property Manager to join our established Vancouver real estate team and help manage and grow our residential rental and property-management division.
This is a flexible part-time to full-time opportunity.
We already have an established rental and property-management portfolio. We are looking for someone who can increasingly take ownership of the day-to-day operation of that business — tenant relations, leasing, maintenance, renewals, inspections, owner communication and problem solving.
You will also have virtual administrative support, so the expectation is not that you personally spend your entire day doing data entry and routine administrative work. You will be able to delegate appropriate tasks and focus on property management, client service, decision-making and growing the portfolio.
For an ambitious candidate, there are also opportunities to earn additional income through:
- New property-management accounts
- Tenant-placement/leasing business
- Business development and prospecting
- Real estate sales
- Prospecting
This can be structured around the right candidate — whether you are looking for approximately 20–25 hours per week or want to grow into a full-time position.
Compensation
We are open to discussing the best structure depending on experience and availability.
Hourly Option
Approximately $30–$40/hour, depending on experience, licensing and the degree to which you can independently manage the portfolio.

You’ll Have Administrative Support
This is an important part of the role.
You will have access to a virtual administrative assistant who can assist with appropriate routine tasks such as:
- Data entry
- Updating tracking sheets
- Scheduling
- Filing and document organization
- Routine follow-ups
- Preparing drafts
- Updating records
- Gathering information
- Other administrative support
The Property Manager will help delegate, supervise and review appropriate work completed by the virtual assistant.
We want the Property Manager spending their time on matters that actually require judgment, licensing, client communication and problem solving, rather than doing every administrative task personally.
Opportunity to Grow the Business
We are not simply looking for someone to maintain the existing portfolio.
There is significant opportunity for someone who enjoys business development to help us grow the rental and property-management division.
You may generate new business through:
- Existing landlord relationships
- Referrals
- Networking
- Prospecting
- Existing team clients
- Investor clients
- Rental inquiries
- Relationships developed through property management
- Advertising Campaigns
When you personally generate new management or tenant-placement business, you will participate financially in that revenue.

- Working with buyers
- Conducting showings
- Open houses
- Prospecting
- Following up with sales leads
- Referring owners who decide to sell
- Working qualified buyers or sellers
- Participating in transactions for additional commission income
The primary focus of this position is rental and property management, so there is no requirement to become a salesperson.
However, if you are ambitious and appropriately licensed, we do not want to limit your earning potential.
Who We Are Looking For
This position may be an excellent fit if:
- You genuinely enjoy property management
- You like solving problems and getting things done
- You are comfortable communicating with both owners and tenants
- You can handle difficult conversations professionally

- You are comfortable working independently
- You enjoy having autonomy and responsibility
