Property Management Training

Far too often sustainably built projects get completed and the certification goes unnoticed. With our property management training, we will work with your on-site team to ensure they understand the basis of the certification, and what that means for the residents. After your project is certified, we will come to site, present on the certification, and offer insight as to why the certification is not only sustainable, but also a great differentiator in the market.
