Property managers are struggling to find and retain top talent, according to a recent property management survey from AppFolio. Talent is essential to growth and expansion of a company, and an inability to find talent could inhibit growth. In the survey, 13% of property managers named recruiting top talent as the biggest challenge and 45.3% of property managers named talent as the biggest factor inhibiting growth.

“Making the right hires, even retaining the good ones, are very important to any property management company—and, as the survey suggests, not doing so can hurt continued growth and expansion,” Nat Kunes, senior product line manager at AppFolio, tells GlobeSt.com. “Good things to look for in property management talent are things like problem-solving skills, ability to keep cool under pressure, a teamwork mentality, self-starters, and, of course, highly organized individuals.”
