The Institute held their annual Economic Forecast meeting at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy. World renowned economist Elliot Eisenberg from Washington D.C. presented the state of the national economy and how the current presidential administrations policies have impacted both current and future trends. It was an extremely optimistic outlook.

The institute continues to celebrate their 85th anniversary in 2018. At the January meeting a special moment took place celebrating the chapters past presidents and all that they have done to support the membership, change the industry, and impact so many lives in and around New England. These professionals continue to actively demonstrate their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to the real estate industry and the IREM membership. 

During the Economic Forecast meeting IREM took time to recognize and induct 6 new ARM and CPM members. Attaining the CPM and ARM credentials are a tremendous accomplishment and are probably the two most recognized and valued accreditations in the industry, congratulations to our new emerging professionals, job well done.
