#NARPMSmart Means Growing Your Business
You don’t need to spell out to Lisa Doud, RMP®, the value of NARPM® designations. She’s doing just fine in that department. As the Owner of Doud Realty Services in Portsmouth, Virginia, this NARPM® Member has attained her Residential Management Professional (RMP®) designation and now pursues her designation as a Master Property Manager (MPM®).
“I’m a firm believer that if you’re stagnant, you’re never learning,” said Lisa. “That’s why I believe the MPM®, in addition to my RMP®, will give me more prestige and people will take me more seriously.”
Already, Lisa says her NARPM® designation helps her land clients as they prove she is trustworthy and knowledgeable about property management. Now Lisa has encouraged the rest of her team to become NARPM® Certified. Bookkeeper Priscilla Horner is working to be a Certified Residential Management Bookkeeper (CRMB), while Sjockiea Mann is attaining the status of Certified Maintenance Coordinator (CMC).
Finally, Jeanessa Killebrew will soon obtain her real estate license and will also pursue her RMP®. Already, the Doud team understands the impact of designations and certifications. Priscilla says, “I take care of our accounting, accounts receivable, and payables. With my CRMB, clients will know I have that much more knowledge of what comes in and out of a business.”
What do all the abbreviations mean to Lisa Doud, RMP®? More clients, more revenue, and more success in 2017 and beyond. “A lot of times I go to a new client for a meeting and they’ll ask me, ‘What does your designation mean?’, said Doud. “Then, I explain the classes I took and the extra time I spent, so I could be a better Property Manager for them. It’s a strong pitch and has helped me grow my business.”
Lisa, like so many other Members who have attained designations or certifications, is #NARPMSmart. Look for the hashtag on social media content through 2017, as we encourage more Members to register for classes. As Lisa says, “With designations, I am #NARPMSmart.”
