Becoming a Property Manager in New Jersey

[Troy Weygandt]

Hi All, I really want to get started in property management. The concepts of property management are what drew me to real estate in the first place. I enjoy qualifying tenants and managing rentals, even if I don't own them. I live in New Jersey, and in this state you need to have a real estate license to be a property manager. I got my license and have been working as a Salesperson for the past few years. But my brokerage does not do property management. I guess my question is, how do I get started? Do I contact a property management company in the area? Do I approach a smaller, local broker and ask if I could work under his broker license as a property manager? Do I obtain my broker license and start my own? If there are any property managers that can carve out some time to talk, I would be very grateful. Even a quick phone call would mean a lot to me. Thanks, Troy
