Great meeting just getting started with update by IREM’s Chuck Achilles on legislative and regulatory issues affecting property managers.
Wow! A whirlwind day of meetings on commercial issues, ending with the release of a member profile showing commercial practitioners earn a median of $86,000 in gross annual income, increasing for the past two years.
The trade show is open with many good vendors sharing info on their products to make work easier, even for us commercial practitioners.
Today is the day for commercial Realtors to come, listen and get involved. The Commercial Leg & Reg meeting is at 9, followed by the Commercial Committee at 10:30, and the Commercial Research Subcommittee is at 3. All meetings are at the Omni Shoreham.
