It's a Tuesday morning and a prospect walks in without an appointment, a current resident is waiting at the desk about a renewal, and there's a make-ready you promised the manager you'd punch by noon. That's the job, and if that scenario sounds manageable rather than stressful, keep reading.
Weinstein Properties has been family-owned and operated for over 70 years, with a portfolio of 60-plus apartment communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. That kind of longevity in this industry doesn't happen by accident. It comes from site teams who actually run their properties, not just process paperwork. The Assistant Property Manager at Bexley Village is one of those roles where you're genuinely in the middle of operations every day.
Day to day, you'll handle the full leasing cycle: responding to internet leads, taking calls, booking tours, processing applications, preparing lease packages, and collecting deposits. On the resident side, you'll field questions about renewals, MTM situations, notices to vacate, pet addendums, and transfers. You'll post rent, follow up on balances, and work through move-outs including security deposit dispositions. You'll coordinate with maintenance, walk units to confirm make-ready status, and monitor open work orders. The role also includes planning and hosting resident events, and supporting the Property Manager with team training and goal tracking. Rotating Saturdays and occasional evenings are part of the schedule.
Starting pay is $20 per hour, increasing with experience, with quarterly bonuses. Benefits include a rent discount, health, dental, and vision coverage, 401k with company match, paid holidays, birthday time off, and an Employee Assistance Program.
Prior property management experience is a plus, not a requirement. Weinstein has a structured training program, and they've successfully brought in people from hospitality, retail management, and sales. What they won't train is work ethic or people skills. Those need to come with you.
What separates strong candidates from average ones in this role is the ability to hold two modes at once: warm and service-oriented with residents and prospects, precise and accountable on the administrative side. The leasing piece is relationship-driven. The back-office piece, posting rent, processing move-outs, tracking delinquency, is unforgiving of sloppiness. Candidates who only bring one of those two modes tend to struggle.
Weinstein also has a real track record of internal promotion. Many of their current property managers and corporate staff started in leasing or assistant roles. If your goal is eventually to run your own asset or move into a regional capacity, this kind of hands-on, owner-operated platform is a solid place to build that foundation.
