About the Industry Partner Program
The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM®) was founded in 1933 in order to establish a reliable, objective system of identifying quality property managers. Today IREM® is the nation's source of education and professional recognition for managers of all types of income-producing properties.
Certified Property Manager (CPM®) members manage over $2 trillion worth of the nation's real estate assets. They manage approximately 9.6 million residential units and 10.4 billion net square feet of commercial space. They manage various types of properties, including apartments, condominiums, office buildings, shopping centers, mobile home parts, federally assisted housing and industrial parks.
The Industry Partners program is designed to foster professional relationships between our Real Estate members and a mix of locally reputable service vendors. This enables IREM® members to learn more about their service and to easily contact a representative. With the INDUSTRY PARTNERS program, our chapter can provide you with a multitude of benefits and opportunities, as listed below.
Our Industry Partner Program is unique — we limit one partner for every 10 members and one partner per category for every 100 members. This exclusivity ensures strong visibility and lasting relationships.
Our Purpose
We focus on building meaningful, long-term connections between our partners and property management professionals. Our goals are simple:
- To help you and your company gain maximum value and visibility through active involvement.
- To ensure our members -CPM®, ARM®, ACoM®, Candidates, Associates, and Students - benefit from “Netweaving” with top service providers in West Coast FL.
