To be considered for a job to become an apartment manager prior business experience plays a key role, simply because in essence an apartment manager is operating an individual business entity and serving as chief operating officer. Skills in accounting and finance, human resources, customer service, collections and building maintenance are imperative to enable success, and those people lacking the requisite skill in any specific area will most likely not be seriously considered for employment. Additionally, many of the larger apartment management companies insist that apartment managers working for them either possess or obtain quickly a real estate license in the state in which they operate. In fact, whether requested by an employer or not it is a good idea for a person that hopes to become an apartment manager to obtain a real estate license without prompting so that they can better understand the legalities of the position.

Usually, a person that aspires to become an apartment manager begins their career in a position of lesser responsibility in the real estate field such as a receptionist or maintenance person. Through time and learning the industry on the job, these individuals eventually advance to a position such as an office manager or maintenance supervisor. With each step up the management ladder new skills are learned, and a closer relationship is enabled with higher management.
