What does a property caretaker do?

A Property Caretaker provides maintenance, gardening, housekeeping, and other services needed for the owner of a property. If it is a large property with multiple tenants or businesses, the Property Caretaker oversees all assets and services required to keep the property operating. They will make repairs, resolve tenant issues, and maintain the building. They act as the representative for the owner when it comes to the day-to-day needs of the estate.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a property caretaker, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Property Caretaker, you need practical skills in basic maintenance, landscaping, cleaning, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with tools such as lawn equipment, hand and power tools, and building management systems is typically required. Strong attention to detail, reliability, and good communication skills make someone stand out in this role. These abilities are crucial for ensuring properties are well-maintained, safe, and provide a positive experience for owners or tenants.

What are some common challenges property caretakers face when managing multiple properties?

Property Caretakers often juggle responsibilities across several properties, which can present challenges such as coordinating maintenance schedules, responding promptly to tenant or owner requests, and ensuring each property complies with safety and regulatory standards. Effective time management and communication are essential, as caretakers may need to prioritize urgent repairs while still handling regular upkeep. Building strong relationships with vendors and having a proactive approach to property inspections can help mitigate these challenges and ensure smooth operations.

What is the difference between Property Caretaker vs Property Manager?

AspectProperty CaretakerProperty Manager
CredentialsOften no formal certifications, but experience in maintenance and securityUsually requires real estate or property management certifications
Work EnvironmentPrimarily on-site, overseeing property upkeep and securityOffice-based with site visits, managing multiple properties
Employer & Industry UsagePrivate estates, rental properties, vacation homesReal estate firms, property management companies, landlords
Search & Comparison IntentFocus on maintenance, security, and property upkeepFocus on leasing, tenant relations, and financial management

The main difference is that a Property Caretaker primarily handles maintenance, security, and day-to-day upkeep on-site, while a Property Manager oversees multiple properties, managing tenants, leasing, and financial aspects. Both roles are essential in property management but serve different functions based on responsibilities and work environment.

Job description

Property Caretaker

Atwood Property Management
$17–$19 per hour

Join our team as a Property Caretaker and help keep our residential and commercial properties clean, attractive, and well maintained while working independently across multiple locations.

About the Role

Atwood Property Management is seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Property Caretaker to help keep our residential and commercial properties clean, attractive, and well maintained.

In this role, you will travel between properties to maintain common areas, monitor building conditions, and help ensure our properties consistently look their best for residents, tenants, and visitors. The Caretaker works independently and plays an important role in maintaining the high standards we uphold for our property owners.

This is a great opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys staying active throughout the day, and values working independently.

What You'll Do
  • Clean and maintain indoor common areas including hallways, stairwells, elevators, windows, laundry rooms, and storage areas
  • Ensure properties remain clean, orderly, and visually appealing
  • Monitor property conditions and report maintenance or safety concerns
  • Perform unit inspections at move-in, move-out, and as directed
  • Conduct drive-by checks of assigned properties to monitor overall condition
  • Assist maintenance technicians with minor repairs or unit turnover tasks as needed
  • Perform daily bank deposits and scheduled laundry coin collection
  • Serve as backup support for the Groundskeeper when needed
  • Interact professionally and courteously with residents, tenants, and team members
What You'll Bring
  • Valid U.S. driver's license and reliable personal transportation (mileage reimbursement provided)
  • Personal smartphone capable of using company apps for work orders, time tracking, notes, photos, and communication
  • Ability to work independently and manage tasks across multiple properties
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in maintaining clean, well-presented properties
  • Basic hand tools for minor maintenance tasks
  • Ability to lift up to 40 pounds and perform physical work including walking properties, climbing stairs, bending, and cleaning throughout the day
  • Ability to pass a background check
What We Offer

We believe great work deserves great support. That’s why we offer:

  • Competitive Pay: $17–$19 per hour depending on experience.
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, basic life, long-term disability, and a variety of voluntary benefit options including HSA/FSA, legal, accident, critical illness, and pet wellness.
  • 401(k) with Company Match: Plan for your future with confidence.
  • Paid Time Off: Generous PTO/ESST, vacation, and holiday pay.
  • Mileage Reimbursement: Reimbursement for travel between properties.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop new skills.
  • Team Culture: A supportive workplace guided by our core values—innovation, collaboration, accountability, respect, and excellence.
  • Employee Recognition: We celebrate wins, big and small, and the people who make them happen.
Ready to Apply?

If you take pride in keeping properties clean, attractive, and well cared for, and enjoy working independently in an active role, we’d love to hear from you.
