At CMS Real Estate, we’re proud to be a trusted partner for commercial condo management services in Calgary. We specialize in property management and working with boards and owners to ensure compliance, efficiency, and sound governance. Our expertise extends across various commercial and industrial condominium properties, from retail units in busy business parks to warehouse bays in industrial zones.
In today’s ever-changing and evolving real estate market, it is imperative for condo management companies to have the proper training and continual education necessary for providing effective and expert-level services, especially with the new regulations and high investor expectations. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Alberta Condominium Management Education Consortium (ACMEC), a recognized leader in property management education in Alberta.
The Importance of Expert-Led Skills in Commercial Condo Management
Management for commercial condo boards and their properties involves a tremendous amount of administrative oversight while navigating a detailed and regulated environment. Our team specializes in helping commercial and industrial condominium boards to stay on course and well-managed in areas like:
- Financial planning, including reserve fund studies and long-term budgeting
- Legal adherence to the updated Alberta Condominium Property Act
- Board governance and best communication practices
- Oversight of property maintenance, vendor contracts, and capital projects
Given this level of responsibility, it’s no surprise that our clients expect professionalism and expertise that’s current, detailed, accountable, and well-informed to assist them in the best possible way.
What is ACMEC Training? | What You Need To Know
ACMEC is Alberta’s premier source for licensing and education for condominium managers, playing a vital role in upholding standards within the industry. ACMEC’s courses are tailored for the realities of property management in Alberta, including topics like:
- Legal responsibilities under provincial legislation
- Managing complex commercial budgets and reserve fund obligations
- Supporting boards made up of business owners AND investors
- Risk management, conflict resolution, and ethical practice
What many may not know is, in Alberta, licensing for condominium managers is mandatory, and ACMEC is one of the key pathways to meeting and exceeding those requirements.
