"If an AMO firm manages your real estate
assets, congratulations; you've made an
excellent decision." |
| If your property is managed by an ACCREDITED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION® firm, there is no question about management expertise, financial stability, professional excellence, and integrity. AMO® is the only designation awarded to firms by the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and only about 650 firms in the United States have achieved it. These elite organizations set the standards for excellence in property and asset management. These companies earn the right to display the prestigious AMO symbol of accomplishment by fulfilling the stringent membership requirements set by the Institute. |

| Professional Expertise |
Management expertise is the critical factor in increasing the future value of your real estate investments. Each AMO firm is required to employ at least one CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER® (CPM) member of IREM to direct and control its property and asset management activities. The CPM designation is the most widely recognized property management designation among institutional investors, and it is attained by individuals who complete extensive course study and who have met experience requirements in both fiscal and operational management. |
| Accreditation |
When you choose an AMO firm, you can be certain it has the credentials vital to maximizing profitability and marketability. To be accredited, a firm must have an established reputation of professionalism. Before the designation is awarded, the applicant's qualifications are reviewed by national and regional leaders of IREM. Firms must have be re-accredited every three years. |
| Financial |
The AMO program's reputation of honesty and professional integrity assures you that your investment is managed by one of the most respected and influential management firms in the country. AMO firms abide by a formal Code of Ethics established by IREM. The Code of Ethics regulates relationships with the owner/investor and the public, and controls promotion, advertising, and operation procedures. AMO firms pledge that they will not receive, directly or indirectly, any rebate, fee discount, or other benefit without your knowledge and consent. |
| Stability |
The Institute of Real Estate Management has established well-defined financial criteria for attaining AMO status. Each AMO firm undergoes an independent financial review, must meet IREM's highest standards in asset/liability ratios and accounting procedures, and is required to obtain three types of insurance: broad form money and securities, depositor's forgery and alterations and fidelity bond. |
