Property owners can be assured that an AMO will put their interests first.

“We’re honored to receive this distinct accreditation which is the industry gold standard in terms of financial performance and following best practices,” said Eileen Wirth, MEND’s CEO & President.  

“By earning the AMO accreditation, your business earns the respect of your peers, employees, future employees, and your clients,” says Barry Blanton, CPM®, 2022 IREM president and founding principal at Blanton Turner, an AMO real estate management and consulting firm based in Seattle, Washington. “You’re joining an elite group of companies operating at the top of their game, and the AMO designation puts you at the top of the industry for reputation, stability, and exceptional, ethical conduct. Congratulations to MEND for this achievement and relentless pursuit of excellence in real estate management.”
