We all know that the challenges in today's job market - from industry consolidation and increased competition to being expected to do more with less - make it harder to prove experience and credibility. The CPM designation can demonstrate expertise and integrity to those who matter most - employers, owners and investors. Consider these:
* CPM members are recognized as experts in real estate management, and they are at the top of the profession.
* 70% of those who hold the CPM designation hold the highest management positions (owner/partner or officer/director) than those without the designation.
If you have built a career in real estate management and never obtained the prestigious CPM designation, there is an option for you - the fast track for professional real estate management experience. The fast track recognizes the expertise and experience of executives who have been in the industry for at least 20 years. With 240 months of qualifying real estate management experience, CPM Candidates can fast track the CPM designation by using their experience to fulfill the CPM education requirement.
You may be eligible for the professional experience fast track if you meet all of the following:
* Have been in real estate management industry managing property for 20 years (240 months).
* For every month experience, your portfolio met the minimum size requirements established by IREM.
* For every month in which you managed the minimum portfolio, you must have performed at least 19 of the 36 functions required as established by IREM.
An informational sheet has been developed for individuals who are not yet CPM Candidates and believe they might qualify under the fast track option.
The IREM Greater Rhode Island Chapter No. 88 diligently pursues the mission to promote professional integrity with education and training. A CPM has what it takes... experience, education, ethics and a commitment to lifelong learning.
