Why You'll Love GIT
At Gaines Investment Trust, we believe our people are our greatest investment.
Founded in 1966, GIT is a 100% family-owned real estate investment and management company with 60 years of ownership and management experience.

For a Regional Property Manager, that means the opportunity to truly understand your assets, develop your teams, implement strategies, and see the long-term impact of your leadership.
Our Dallas portfolio also provides a unique advantage: your assigned communities are located within a relatively concentrated geographic area, allowing you to spend more time leading your teams and improving property performance and less time traveling between distant markets.
We Offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
- Performance-based bonuses
- Minimal regional travel with a locally concentrated portfolio
- Rent Discount
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, and Floating Holiday
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
