Most people encounter real estate managers when they show and take delivery of apartments, place advertisements and select tenants. However, anyone who works in real estate management has many other tasks to deal with. For example, as a property management officer, you have to deal with the different needs and demands of homeowners, tenants, tradesmen and janitors on a daily basis. This demands good communication and social skills, as well as knowledge of human nature and assertiveness from a property management clerk. On the other hand, real estate management specialists are responsible for property accounting, issuing contracts, writing minutes and a lot of correspondence.
