You'll be connected to the organization, including a local IREM chapter, and guaranteed access to the industry's leading resources, tools, and information.

Why should I earn the Accredited Commercial Manager certification before one of IREM's other credentials, such as the Certified Property Manager ® (CPM ® ) designation?
The Accredited Commercial Manager credential is the perfect stepping stone to the CPM designation. If you are a commercial site manager and your portfolio has not yet reached the minimum size for the CPM designation, you can gain training, skills, and industry knowledge with the Accredited Commercial Manager certification while working towards the CPM. The intermediate courses necessary for the Accredited Commercial Manager also count toward the CPM education requirement.
Vendors, suppliers and service providers to the real estate management industry are not eligible for Accredited Commercial Manager membership
