Currently, the House is about to vote on legislation to register property managers who do NOT have a real estate license. Maryland REALTORS® supports HB 239 which requires certain property managers to be either registered with the Maryland Real Estate Commission OR licensed by the Maryland Real Estate Commission. This bill passed the House unanimously last year, 134-0 (HB 929/’20).
Please urge your legislator to SUPPORT HB 239 as amended below.

Many FREE resources are available to you through IREM. IREM is here to assist you through this time and always. Daily updates and new resources are constantly being added for our members to use at irem.org
You can also access most of these resources directly on our chapter website. In addition, our chapter’s recovery resource page features updates from our very own Industry Partners. Please keep all of our Industry Partners at the top of your list when you are looking for solutions to your needs during this time, and always.

One of the most powerful resources we have available for our property management members is that of IREM DC Industry Partners. Always reach out to our Industry Partners first when you need a bid on a project.
