The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM®) announced the finalists for the 2017 REME Awards recognizing Real Estate Management Excellence. This year’s finalists run the gamut from regional to international in scope, covering both residential and commercial sectors, and they come from the US to Canada to China. But what they all have in common is a commitment to professionalism, innovation, and advancing the real estate management industry.
The REME Awards recognize and celebrate excellence in real estate management by highlighting real estate management companies and individual practitioners for innovative, leading-edge, business practices and initiatives, as well as sharing successful initiatives and fostering further innovation within the real estate management industry.
These finalists demonstrate exceptional practices and initiatives that improve the quality of their work environment, the experiences for their clients, and their communities at large.
“IREM® is proud that the REME Awards provide the opportunity to showcase both practitioners and companies that are doing great things for our industry. To be able to highlight their innovation, creativity and excellence is an honor,” said Mike Lanning, CPM®, IREM® President. “We hope that the finalists and winners can inspire others within the industry to continue to push themselves to develop new workplace initiatives and industry leading business practices.”
Finalists will be recognized and winners announced at the Inaugural Gala Dinner and REME Awards event in Chicago, IL on Friday, October 13th, as part of the IREM® Global Summit.
