About Us

Gaines Investment Trust is a family-owned real estate company founded in 1966. We own about 8,300 apartments across 32 communities in six states — California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We are not a third-party management company. We own everything we manage, and we manage nothing we don’t own. We buy good long-term locations, hold them, take care of the buildings, and take care of our residents.

Everyone who works here is expected to think like an owner, because they work for one. The Job Our Project Managers identify projects, prepare scopes and RFPs, obtain and evaluate bids, negotiate pricing, and select the vendor. Once that work is complete, the Contracts Administrator takes over the back-end process and gets the contractor the contractual documents and instructions to begin the work.

You will be responsible for getting contracts completed and signed, making sure vendor insurance and other required documentation is in place, administering change orders, reviewing invoices and progress payments, collecting lien releases, and working directly with both Project Management and Accounting through final payment and project closeout.
