Property Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a property manager in California?
To work as a property manager in California, you typically need an active real estate license issued by the California Department of Real Estate, since managing properties for others for compensation legally requires one. You must complete the required pre-licensing coursework, pass the DRE salesperson or broker exam, and apply for licensure. Many employers also value a degree in business, real estate, or a related field alongside the license.
How much do property managers make in California?
Property managers in California earn a median of about $77,030 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $41,540 for the lowest 10% to over $158,050 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire property managers in California?
Employers hiring property managers in California right now include The John Stewart Company, WinnCompanies, and Mercy Housing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's large multifamily housing stock and active commercial real estate sector keep demand for property managers consistently high across major metro areas.
Which California cities have the most property manager jobs?
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose have the most property manager openings in California. Los Angeles drives the highest volume given its dense multifamily rental market and concentration of large property management firms, while San Diego and the Bay Area reflect strong demand tied to high renter populations and active commercial real estate portfolios.
Are there remote property manager jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Property management is inherently on-site work involving tenant interactions, property inspections, and vendor coordination, so most roles require a physical presence. About 13% of property manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to be in administrative, reporting, or regional oversight functions rather than day-to-day site management.
How can I get hired as a property manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a leasing consultant or assistant property manager at a large residential management company. California employers like Greystar and AvalonBay regularly hire candidates without extensive experience into leasing or coordinator roles that build toward a full management position. Obtaining your California DRE salesperson license early sets you apart, and volunteering to assist an HOA board can provide practical portfolio exposure.
Where can I find and apply to property manager jobs in California?
You can find and apply to property manager jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
