Institute of Real Estate Management

What Institute of Real Estate Management does

The Institute of Real Estate Management — Southern California Inland Empire Chapter No. 106 (IREM IE) is a regional chapter of the national IREM nonprofit professional association, serving real estate management professionals across Riverside and San Bernardino counties from its headquarters in Wildomar, California. The chapter's core offering is the local delivery of IREM's credentialing framework — Certified Property Manager (CPM), Accredited Residential Manager (ARM), Accredited Commercial Manager (ACoM), and Accredited Management Organization (AMO) — alongside member recruitment and continuing education routed through the national IREM portal at irem.org. Its digital presence is a WordPress-based website (iremie.org) with e-commerce capabilities for membership and event registration, supplemented by a Facebook page and direct-contact inside sales via the chapter administrator.

IREM IE monetizes through five interlocking streams: annual membership dues (processed at the national level), Industry Partners Program fees from vetted vendors, education and credential-course registration fees, chapter and national IREM Foundation scholarships, and event revenue from recurring programs such as the annual charity golf tournament (which raised $4,100 for the PTSD Foundation – Inland Empire in 2025) and the Management Excellence Awards. The Industry Partners Program curates a directory of suppliers with verified insurance, licensing, and CPM/ARM references, functioning as a two-sided marketplace between accredited professionals and accredited firms. Marketing and member acquisition are community-led: networking events, the ME Awards, Ask the Experts sessions, a 2026 Wine Country joint meet-up with IREM San Diego, and partnerships with major institutional employers — Cushman & Wakefield, Greystar, JLL, Sequoia Equities, and Cannon Management — whose staff populate both chapter leadership and award categories. Governance is volunteer-driven through elected officers under the chapter's bylaws and the national IREM standards framework.
