The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) is an international community of real estate managers dedicated to ethical business practices, maximizing the value of investment real estate, and promoting superior management through education and information sharing.

The CPM designation demonstrates the expertise and integrity to those who matter most—employers, owners and investors.

CPM Members are recognized as experts in real estate management, and they are at the top of the profession.  Approximately 83% of CPM Members have an average of 22 years of experience and 70% of those who hold the CPM designation hold the highest management positions (owner/partner or officer/director) than those without the designation.
