Why Get Certified?

Client Success is more than "quality service." It's a high-touch, outcome-focused strategy primarily used in professional services to build personalized, long-term business partnerships. And it's a function the residential property management industry is missing.


Owner Experience Management (OEM) fills that gap. OEM is a systematic approach to achieving clients' desired outcomes, and maximizing Client Lifetime Value by attracting high-quality leads, turning them into lifelong clients, and earning more per door. This certification provides the training you need to implement Owner Experience Management into your role, and your company.


Anyone in an owner-facing role benefits.

01 

Professional Growth

Learn new role-specific skills and sharpen old ones.

02 

Mutual Success

Learn how helping owners achieve their goals helps you achieve yours.

03 

Differentiate

Set yourself apart among your peers and your market.

Questions

Before You Commit The Team

Does every single employee have to certify?

Every client-facing employee does — BDMs and property managers. Maintenance, accounting and admin staff are welcome to take the courses, but they aren't required for your company to certify.

How long does it take?

It's self-paced. Most broker/owners finish the 10-course track in two to three weeks at a few courses a week; role tracks are shorter. Once you email us the certificates, review takes up to five business days.

What happens when we hire someone new?

New hires take their role track and you send us the certificate. Your company certification stays active as long as your client-facing roster stays certified — which also makes the track a ready-made onboarding week for every new BDM and PM.

Is this the same thing as the individual certification tracks?

The courses are the same. The difference is what you get at the end: an individual earns a personal credential, while a company that certifies its whole client-facing team earns the Certified Client Success Firm status, the badge set and the rollout kit.

Who built the curriculum?

Property Management University with Blanket — the first AI Owner Experience Management platform. It's drawn from thousands of real conversations with single-family rental owners about what makes them sign, stay and leave.
