by Brianna Crandall — March 17, 2014—The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) , an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS that serves both the multifamily and commercial sectors, has launched the Real Estate Management Marketplace, a robust, online guide to industry-related products and services.
Cost-free to all industry professionals, the site enables targeted searches for industry-related products and services using either a keyword search or an alphabetized directory search by product category, and invites visitors to rate and/or leave reviews about the providers they use—or to check out others’ ratings and reviews to guide their search.
The Real Estate Management Marketplace contains 16 major vendor categories, with many subcategories under each. Major categories are:
- Appliances—Lease/Purchase
- Billing/Collections
- Building Services
- Business Services
- Cleaning
- Design
- Electrical
- Exteriors
- Interiors
- Mechanical
- Restoration
- Roads/Grounds
