How to Find a Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) in NJ and NY
Owning a property can be a fulfilling endeavor, but running day-to-day operations is a lot of work. That’s why many owners look to partner with a third party for property management. This is especially true of apartment management, which often requires daily visits, emergency services, and other time-consuming work that owners cannot easily accommodate. That’s why finding the right Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) is a smart choice.
The team at Cervelli Real Estate & Property Management is here to help apartment building owners in the Gold Coast area of New Jersey understand why choosing a CAM makes all the difference.
What Is a Certified Apartment Manager?
For someone to qualify for CAM credentials, they must first provide evidence that they have at least one year of onsite experience managing a property. A CAM candidate must then complete 40 hours of specialized coursework and pass the required exams, which must be done within six months of declaring candidacy. CAM courses are comprehensive and cover a wide range of important topics, so property owners can trust that CAMs are prepared to take on the job from day one. CAMs also must take at least eight hours of continuing education annually to maintain their certification.
What Does a CAM Do?
Handling day-to-day duties for any property requires plenty of knowledge and experience, but dealing with an apartment building or apartment complex offers unique challenges. Because you’re dealing with people’s homes, a lack of management skills or inexperience could result in unhappy residents and ownership. That’s what sets Certified Apartment Managers apart.
A CAM designation signifies a manager can fulfill the responsibilities necessary to run an apartment building and meet the owner’s investment goals. Here’s a list of just some of the areas in which a CAM will have extensive knowledge:
- Occupancy rates
- Detailed marketing plans
- Property inspection
- The apartment turnover process
- Resident retention
- Maintenance of positive company image
- Consistent communication with residents
- Systematic employee evaluation
- Accounting
- Law and regulation compliance
- Record keeping and regulation of employees
