IREM® celebrates 90 years of making a difference

Ninety years ago, the National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREB) – known today as the National Association of REALTORS® – recognized the need for greater specialization in the real estate industry. The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) was founded to promote ethical practices in real estate management, to foster education, and to encourage members to share their experiences.

From that day forward, IREM has grown to serve as the world’s strongest voice for all things real estate management. Today, almost 20,000 leaders in commercial and residential management call them home for learning, certifications, and networking.

IREM® is an international institute with the learning, certifications, and networking that property managers need to take on real estate management’s most dynamic challenges.

It should be noted that the General Director of Astana Tower business center management company, Zhanar Yeseneyeva, has extensive experience in the field of commercial real estate and is the holder of the international title of Certified Property Management, awarded as part of training at the International Institute of Real Estate Management (USA).
