🏡 Property Management Intern – Light House Realty (LHR)
Location: Lehigh Valley | Part-Time ~ 20 hrs/week | Paid Internship
Are you someone who’s warm, hardworking, and great with people—but also not afraid to roll up your sleeves? Join the team at Light House Realty, where we manage residential properties with heart, hustle, and hospitality.
We’re seeking a Property Management Intern to assist primarily with annual property inspections, focusing on condition, safety, and resident care. This is a hands-on role where you’ll build real-world experience in property management while making tenants feel seen, heard, and supported. What You’ll Do
- Conduct on-site inspections of residential rental properties using our standard checklist (training provided)
- Assess property condition and safety (windows, smoke detectors, HVAC filters, etc.)
- Offer a welcoming and professional presence to residents—this is a key touchpoint for hospitality
- Provide summaries and photo documentation after inspections
- Occasionally assist with minor maintenance tasks (changing filters, tightening hardware, mowing, painting, etc.)
- Flag issues that need follow-up by the maintenance or property management team
- Support the PM team with other resident or property-related tasks, as needed
What We’re Looking For:
Warm, personable, and professional—you’re a people person who builds trust quickly
Responsible and reliable—able to work solo in the field and follow checklists and timelines
Detail-oriented, with good judgment and observational skills
Comfortable entering residents’ homes respectfully and representing LHR with care
Willing to get hands dirty when needed—this is not a desk internship
Curious about property management, real estate, and landlord-tenant relations Requirements
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
Ability to use a smartphone or tablet for notes and photos
Flexible availability during weekdays (approx. 20-25 hours/week)
Background check required (we’ll cover the cost) What You’ll Learn
Real-world understanding of landlord-tenant relationships
How to assess residential property conditions for both safety and comfort
Intro to property maintenance systems and management workflows
How hospitality can play a role in long-term tenant retention
Opportunity to shadow PM professionals and grow within a growing company
