Assistant Property Manager

Weinstein Properties has been family-owned and operated for over 70 years, which in this industry means something. Most ownership groups of that tenure have either sold off their portfolio or gone institutional. Weinstein hasn't. They still run a hands-on operation across more than 60 communities in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia, and the culture that comes with that longevity tends to be more invested in people than a REIT-backed platform typically is. The open role is at Bexley Spring Hill in Columbia, TN, and it's a genuine Assistant Property Manager position, not a glorified leasing consultant title.

The pay starts at $24/hour with quarterly bonuses, and the schedule runs weekdays 9 to 6, with Saturdays 9 to 5 on a team rotation. Sundays are closed. That's a reasonable schedule for on-site property management, though you should know going in that resident events and weather situations will occasionally pull you outside those hours. That's the job, not the exception.

Day to day, you'll cover the full leasing cycle: answering internet leads, booking and conducting tours, processing applications, putting together lease paperwork, and collecting deposits. On the resident services side, you'll handle renewals, notices to vacate, transfer requests, pet addendums, and account questions. You'll coordinate with maintenance, walk units on make-ready completion to confirm punch list items are done, follow up on work orders, and process move-outs including security deposit dispositions. Rent posting and delinquency follow-up are also part of the role, as is helping plan and host resident events. The Assistant PM title here means you're also expected to help train and lead the team and back up the Property Manager as needed. It's a full plate.

Weinstein isn't requiring prior property management experience, which is worth taking seriously rather than dismissing. Strong candidates from hospitality, retail management, or customer-facing sales roles transition well into this type of position, particularly when they come in with some supervisory background. What separates the people who thrive in an APM role from those who wash out isn't industry knowledge, it's the ability to shift from a lease negotiation to a frustrated resident at the front desk to a make-ready walk, all before lunch, without losing composure. Organizational discipline and genuine follow-through matter more than a resume full of PM titles.

For those thinking about where this leads: the APM seat is historically one of the cleaner paths to a Property Manager role. Weinstein notes that many of their current leaders started in leasing, and a company with a portfolio this size across multiple states has real room for advancement, both on-site and at the corporate level.

What they're looking for

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Some prior leadership or supervisory experience
• Comfort with sales conversations and handling difficult situations calmly
• Attention to detail, especially on leasing paperwork and unit inspections
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a physically active, on-your-feet role
• Property management experience is a plus, not a requirement

Weinstein provides structured training, so the learning curve is supported. But the expectations are real. This isn't a role where you can coast behind a desk.
