NARPM National 2025: The Future of Property Management Hiring

Written by Pete Neubig | Oct 8, 2025 1:00:03 PM

The NARPM National Conference is one of the biggest property management events of the year—and this October 20–23, 2025, in Orlando, FL, it’s set to deliver even more value. With sessions covering everything from maintenance management and cash flow analysis to AI automation and cybersecurity, the conference will bring together leaders from across the industry.

However, one theme stands out above the rest this year: hiring.

Staffing shortages, rising payroll costs, and the need to scale without adding more overhead are pushing property managers to rethink how they build and support their teams. This is where VPM Solutions comes in.

 

Why Hiring and Payroll Are Hot Topics in 2025

Property management companies are under more pressure than ever to do more with less. Here’s why workforce strategy is at the top of every leader’s agenda:

  • Labor shortages: Finding qualified staff is increasingly difficult, especially for specialized roles.
  • Rising payroll costs: Salaries, benefits, and compliance add significant expenses to every hire.
  • Efficiency demands: As portfolios grow, companies must streamline operations to stay competitive.

It’s no surprise that property management leaders are looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to hire, recruit, and pay their teams.

NARPM National: Where Solutions Meet Strategy

The NARPM National Conference 2025 is designed to tackle these very challenges. Attendees will gain insights on:

  • How to hire and retain the right people in a tight labor market.
  • Best practices for managing payroll and compliance.
  • Trends in technology that simplify recruiting and HR operations.

For anyone serious about scaling their property management business, this event is the place to learn what’s working—and what’s next.

Staffing Trends Property Managers Can’t Ignore

The way companies build teams is changing. In 2025, three staffing trends are shaping the future of property management:

  • Global talent sourcing: Companies are no longer limited to local hiring pools. Accessing remote talent creates flexibility and cost savings.
  • Hiring for attitude: Skills matter, but adaptability, accountability, and communication are proving to be just as important.
  • Property management virtual assistants (VAs): Remote team members are now a core part of many property management companies, taking on leasing coordination, marketing, accounting, and more.
