Assistant Property Manager

A tenant calls at 8:47 a.m. about an HVAC issue that's been unresolved for three days. You pull the work order, contact the vendor, and have a scheduled visit confirmed before 9:30. That kind of quiet coordination is the core of this role, and it's also where you start building the skills that carry you through a long career in commercial property management.

The Role at Stream Realty Partners

Stream Realty Partners, founded in Dallas in 1996, operates as a full-service commercial real estate firm with billions in annual transaction volume across office, industrial, retail, healthcare, and other asset classes. This Assistant Property Manager position supports Property Managers across a portfolio of commercial properties, with hands-on involvement in building operations, tenant relations, vendor coordination, and financial reporting.

Day-to-day, you'll field work order requests and route them to the right building technician or vendor, schedule move-ins and move-outs, and verify tenant insurance. On the financial side, you'll handle accounts receivable follow-up, invoice coding, and billback processing, and you'll help prepare monthly reporting packages and annual operating budgets. Operating expense reconciliations, lease compliance review, and support for insurance and electricity procurement are also part of the mix. After-hours emergency calls come with the territory, as they do in most commercial PM roles.

Stream lists experience with platforms like Yardi, MRI, Kardin, or AvidXchange as preferred, which reflects how heavily system fluency matters in commercial management. If you've worked in any of these tools, you'll have a shorter ramp-up period. If you haven't, prioritize learning the workflow logic behind them, because the software changes but the underlying processes don't.

What Strong Candidates Bring

• At least two years of experience in commercial property management
• Solid understanding of lease types and how they affect billing and compliance
• Experience with accounts receivable follow-up and professional tenant communication
• Comfort with invoice coding and basic accounting processes
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word
• Familiarity with real estate software platforms (Yardi, MRI, Kardin, AvidXchange, or similar)
• A bachelor's degree is preferred but the posting doesn't treat it as a hard filter

What separates people who grow quickly in roles like this from those who plateau is the ability to read the financial side of a property, not just the operational side. Assistant managers who understand how NOI connects to owner reporting, how opex reconciliations flow through to tenant billbacks, and how budget variances get explained to clients tend to move into Property Manager seats faster. Stream's platform, with its breadth across asset classes and markets, gives you real exposure to that progression if you're genuinely curious about how the numbers work alongside the day-to-day operations.

This is a Dallas-based, on-site position at a firm that's built its reputation on a people-first culture. If you're looking to grow inside commercial real estate services rather than transition into investment or development, the APM track at a firm like Stream is one of the more practical places to start building that foundation.
