Who we are

Carnelian Property Management is a family-owned and run Newcastle real estate business, growing consistently and successfully since 2011. We offer a fresh, accessible and personal approach to investment property management which delights our clients throughout the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle area.  

Our boutique company provides a working environment which is different from many real estate franchises, and in ways which are highly-valued by our clients. 

The role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Property Officer to join the team in our homely Charlestown office. 

You would be working directly with the business owners and Property Manager in a personable, supportive, and entertaining team who are constantly seeking and implementing ways to improve the "usual" (🙄) property management experience. 

We are seeking an individual to work 9:00am - 4:00pm four days a week initially, with hours to be increased once established within the business.

• Liaison with landlords
• Attend and prepare for tribunal if required
• No trust accounting, business development or marketing work required. 

Who we're looking for

We are seeking a unique individual with property officer / administrator experience, a desire to join our team long-term, and an interest in joining a business which doesn't follow the usual corporate agency template. Ideally you will have:

• A bright and engaging personality

• An appreciation for, and ability to offer, excellent customer service
• Willingness to work collaboratively, follow procedures and adapt to growth and change
• Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
