LaRose-Peets of The Peabody Cos. awarded IREM scholarship
New Bedford, MA The Peabody Companies’ Kim LaRose-Peets has been awarded a New England Past President’s Scholarship by the Boston Chapter of IREM to pursue a Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) credential.
The New England Past President’s Scholarship encourages education and industry knowledge by assisting recipients with the cost of tuition associated with earning an IREM credential.
LaRose-Peets, who joined the Peabody Companies in July of 2020, is the property manager at Olympia Towers.
The scholarship award will cover a significant portion of the tuition associated with earning her ARM. The residential property management certification teaches early-career real estate managers the core competencies to manage residential properties. As such the ARM designation is widely recognized in the residential property management industry.
“Congratulations to Kim for receiving the New England Past President’s Scholarship,” said Erin Simas, learning and development manager with the Peabody Companies. “The ARM credential she is pursuing is not only recognized for industry excellence but will also provide Kim a platform for new opportunities.”
