The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms, is pleased to announce that Johanna Martinez has been awarded a New England Past President’s Scholarship by the Boston Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) to pursue an Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) credential.
The New England Past President’s Scholarship encourages education and industry knowledge by assisting recipients with the cost of tuition associated with earning an IREM credential.
Martinez, who joined the Peabody Companies in May of 2023, is the assistant property manager at Melville Towers in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
The scholarship award will cover a significant portion of the tuition associated with earning her ARM. The residential property management certification teaches early-career real estate managers the core competencies to manage residential properties successfully. As such the ARM designation is widely recognized in the residential property management industry.
“Congratulations to Johanna for receiving a New England Past President’s Scholarship,” said Erin Simas, learning and development manager with the Peabody Companies. “The ARM credential is recognized for industry excellence and will provide her with a platform for new opportunities.”
