The Institute of Real Estate Management was formed in 1933 by a group of Realtors® who were concerned with developing professionalism in the field of property management and who wanted to establish and maintain public confidence for this profession. They began by setting standards of performance, experience and ethics for property managers, and awarding those who qualified with the Certified Property Manager®, or CPM® designation.
The Institute of Real Estate Management is recognized as the only National Association comprised of real estate professionals responsible for managing all types of commercial real estate. Those who are members of the Institute are dedicated individuals who are sincerely concerned with the protection and interests of those who come in direct contact with the industry. To this end, the members of the Institute have subscribed to this Professional Pledge:
I pledge myself to the advancement of professional property management through the mutual efforts of members of the Institute of Real Estate Management and by any other property means available to me.
I pledge myself to seek and maintain an equitable, honorable and cooperative association with fellow members of the institute and with all others who may become a part of my business and professional life.
I pledge myself to place honesty, integrity and industriousness above all else; to pursue my gainful efforts with diligent study and dedication to the end that service to my clients shall always be maintained at the highest possible level.
I pledge myself to comply with the principles and declarations of the Institute of Real Estate Management as set forth in its Bylaws, Regulations and this Code of Professional Ethics.
