4 Steps for Getting Started in the Apartment Industry

Updated: Sep 12, 2023



Are you looking for a career that offers plenty of opportunities for growth and development? If so, then the apartment industry may be just the thing for you! The apartment industry offers a wide variety of career opportunities for those looking to enter the workforce or advance their career. From entry-level positions to management roles, the apartment industry has something to offer everyone. Here are a few steps to get started:


  1. Get to know the industry. The first step to success is understanding the apartment industry and what it has to offer. Take some time to research different aspects of the business and familiarize yourself with the jargon. Multifamily, commercial, turn-key, mid-rise apartment, lock-and-lease, etc., all make speaking real estate a bit like a foreign language.

  2. Find the right position within the industry that matches your skills and interests. There are so many different positions available in the apartment industry, so it’s important to take some time to explore all of your options before making a decision. Think about things like – Do you want to work with people or properties? Do you want to be responsible for the financial side of things, or do you prefer working with numbers and data?

  3. Find a mentor. A great way to learn and grow in the apartment industry is to find a mentor – someone who can offer advice and guidance as you navigate your career path. This could be a boss, manager, recruiter, coworker, or even someone you meet tradeshows, career development, etc.

  4.  Advance your career by learning new skills and developing your existing ones. Companies (including ours!) offer ways to upskill, get a certification, or train for new roles like a Leasing Agent. Always ask your recruiter or company about learning budgets or existing programs to help you build your career.
