Description
The Property Management Certification course at the Center for Real Estate Education was built for the four kinds of people who actually do this work: real estate agents adding property management to a sales practice, people new to property management who need a comprehensive fundamentals course, owner-operators with small portfolios, and employees at property management companies looking to move up.
The course is fully self-paced, but you’re not on your own. Live instructor support is available throughout, and our instructors are working professionals, not contractors hired to read scripts. That combination — flexibility plus real expertise on call — is what sets this course apart from the national competitors.
What’s included
The core curriculum covers property management end-to-end: residential and commercial property management, owner relations, financial management and reporting, lease and tenant issues, marketing and leasing, risk management, environmental concerns, and the legal and regulatory framework that governs all of it.
Most property management courses stop there. Ours includes more.
State-specific supplements for New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Each one covers the customs, laws, and rules that affect property management in that state — security deposit requirements, lease disclosure rules, eviction procedures, and the licensing framework that applies to you.
A practical toolkit of professional handouts you’ll use from your first day on the job:
- Property Inspection Toolkit (move-in, move-out, routine, and annual/takeover checklists)
- Maintenance Request Triage Decision Tree Playbook
- Lease Compliance Audit Checklist
- Vendor Onboarding Packet
- Tenant Communication Template Library
- 40-Item Property Takeover Checklist
These are the same documents working property managers use to run their portfolios. We built them because we know how the job actually gets done.
Who it’s for
If you’ve been thinking about property management as a career path, as an extension of your real estate practice, or as a way to professionalize how you manage your own properties, this course is built for you. The certification gives you the credential. The course gives you the working knowledge. The toolkit gives you the documents. And our instructors give you a real person to ask when you get stuck.
