Our Mission

"Supporting the professional and ethical practices of rental home management through networking, education and certification."

Overview

Established in 1988, NARPM is the only national organization focused primarily on Residential Property Management. NARPM is committed to bringing the highest level of professionalism and ethics to the property management profession. Education is a fundamental component of the organization with a growing number of classes and materials being developed for the membership. In addition to the many educational opportunities at Local, State and National Conferences, NARPM has developed a core of courses that are required to earn NARPM designations.

Membership

NARPM membership is growing. Currently over 2,000 individuals are members of NARPM, working in the US, Canada and Australia. NARPM offers different types of membership; everyone in the property management business can participate. The Professional Members of NARPM are individuals who are engaged in the management of residential properties as an agent for others and are licensed in the states who require licensing. Support Specialist members are individuals acting in the role of support in the office of a Professional Member. Affiliate members are vendors that provide products and services to the property management industry.

Professional Designations

The following designations are available to NARPM members:

• Residential Property Management Professional (RMP®)
• Master Property Manager (MPM®)
• Certified Support Specialist (CSS®)
• Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC®)

The designations achieved through NARPM require more than attending classes. NARPM designations are earned with a combination of property management experience, NARPM and industry education, and service to the association through volunteer activities.

Conferences

Through the National Convention & Trade Show and Regional/State Conferences NARPM provides a platform for the exchange of needed information and skills. NARPM members are provided with the opportunity to attend workshops, hear prestigious speakers, and meet vendors to preview new products and services.

Publications

The NARPM newsletter, Residential Resource, is published eleven times annually. The newsletter helps NARPM members stay current on industry news, key legislative proceedings and new product innovations. Members can gain essential knowledge from other publications available only through NARPM.

Local Chapters

The vast majority of NARPM members are also members of local chapters that meet once a month. The growth and success of NARPM has been and will always be dependent on the work done by our membership at all levels of the organization. Through the coordinated efforts of the individuals who comprise the many NARPM Chapters, the vision of NARPM is delivered to the public, property owners, tenants and to fellow property managers.
