At CRM Properties we are truly committed to the business of property management better and that is why we are proud members of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). We have invested a lot of time and education in order to be part of NARPM and when choosing a property management company you want a team that you can trust completely. It is important that the property management company that you hire has received proper education and training. Getting a property manager that is a member of NARPM can only benefit you and your investment.
What is NARPM
The National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) is an association of real estate professionals who know first-hand the unique problems and challenges of managing single-family and small residential properties. NARPM promotes a high standard of business ethics, professionalism, and fair housing practice. NARPM members have to take a mandatory ethics class every four years. The Association also certifies its members in the standards and practices of the residential property management industry and promotes continuing professional education.
Education and experience are crucial factors in successfully managing a property. Most states require property managers to have a real estate license but unfortunately, property management education isn't a huge part of the real estate licensing process. Hiring a NARPM member ensures that your property manager has met specific and ongoing education and experience which protect you as a rental property owner. Being a NARPM member helps property managers stay on top of the latest laws and regulations locally as well as nationwide, rent values, vacancy factors, and real estate market trends.
