THE MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF THE DESIGNATION
"CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER"
Management men deal with and handle the properties
of a large section of the investing public. The Institute of Real Estate Management, made
up of management men and women who specialize in operating the real property of other, has
sought, since its organization in 1934, to protect the interests of this large public by
lifting the standards of management and training in the profession.
To offer safeguards against questionable practices
and to improve the services property owners get from management, the Institute has
recorded and disseminated information on property management, sponsored educational
courses, and established rigid tests of the experience, competency and integrity of men in
the business. Those who meet the requirements of the Institute and are accepted as members
are authorized to identify themselves by the designation CPM, meaning "Certified
Property Manager."
A CPM is a dependable and competent real
estate manager, selected with careful regard to personal honesty and professional
standing. CPMs have creditable records of experience and have demonstrated that
they have executive skills in dealing with real estate management problems.
The designation CPM will guide the
property-owning public to competent management help.
