What is the AMO® accreditation?

The AMO accreditation is the mark of distinction among real estate management firms. A firm must demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism, financial performance and ethics to earn the AMO accreditation from the Institute of Real Estate Management.

 

 

Leadership

Only 530 management companies in the United States and Canada have passed the rigorous tests necessary to become AMO firms. Every AMO firm has a CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER® (CPM®) directing and supervising all real estate management activities. Renowned industry-wide as the most prestigious real estate management credential, the CPM designation is only awarded to those who meet the Institute’s strict criteria in professional education, experience and ethics. Put the experience and capabilities of an AMO firm’s leadership team to work for your real estate investment.

 

Goal Oriented

You can count on an AMO to manage your real estate assets with the sole purpose of reaching – and even exceeding –your investment goals. Call upon an AMO to obtain maximum returns on your real estate portfolio by improving cash flow and building value.

 

Financial Responsibility

Every firm that applies for the AMO accreditation is subject to an extensive financial review. Only firms that demonstrate financial stability and integrity can earn the AMO accreditation.

 

Integrity and Ethics

AMO firms must adhere to the “Minimum Standards and Code of Ethics for the AMO” – which is strictly enforced by the Institute of Real Estate Management – or risk losing their accreditation. The code regulates the firm’s relationship with you as an owner or investor and requires AMO firms to use the utmost care in promotional and operational procedures. You can rest assured that an AMO firm will abide by the highest ethical standards and safeguard your investment.
