I am pleased to announce that I have officially earned my Residential Management Professional (RMP®) Designation from the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM®). At the moment, there are only three other property managers in the Long Beach/Orange County NARPM® Chapter who possess this professional designation. Of these three other RMP® Designees, only one of them operates out of Long Beach.
In order to earn my RMP® Designation, I was required to complete and submit a Designation Packet for audit. The components of the Designation Packet included:
- An official Copy of my Application
- Verification of my good standing in NARPM®
- Letters of Recommendation from three (3) clients
- Letters of Recommendation from two (2) RMP® or MPM® Designees
- Verification of 100-Unit Years* of experience acquired over a minimum of two (2) consecutive years
- Verification of two (2) years as a licensed real estate agent
- Completion of 18 hours of NARPM® Education Courses**
- Attendance at the National Convention or Broker/Owner Conference & Expo, or two (2) NARPM® sanctioned state or regional conferences
- Attendance at a NARPM® Ethics Course
- Electives (Must be a total of at least 50 points)***
Earning my RMP® Designation is quite an achievement; it took many years of hard-work, dedication, and careful documentation to complete these rigorous qualifications. All of the education courses, conferences, and meetings have increased my understanding of the property management industry. I am looking forward to implementing this newfound knowledge to improve the quality of service for my clients. In the future, I hope to further my education even more by earning my Master Property Manager (MPM®) Designation.
