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.
