International Society of Real Estate Managers
Together with IWO members Verband deutscher Immobilienverwalter VDIV, VEGIS Immobilien Verwaltungs- und Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH and Belarusian initiators, IWO founded the International Association of Property Managers IVIM in 2010 as part of the Belarus funding programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The association grew steadily to include new members and partners from private housing management or service companies from various Eastern European and Central Asian countries. In the course of the ban on foreign NGOs, a decision was taken by the Minsk city administration to liquidate the association. On 31.03.2022, the International Society of Property Managers constituted itself as a virtual community of experts. IWO supports the society.
The Society
The aim of the association's activities is to work towards market development and market economy structures in the field of housing management in Belarus and the Eastern European region. Developing a private housing management market and increasing the range of services offered by various market players and providers is an essential basis for improving the quality and sustainability as well as the cost structures of service offers around residential buildings and neighbourhoods - and thus also for increasing the quality of living and of life.
The International Society of Property Managers is a voluntary, virtual association of experts on the following topics:
- Professional property management, especially in the field of multi-family housing.
- Analysis and development of successful models of the creation and operation of condominium owners' associations
- Analysis of successful models of the management of homeowner associations
- Development of national models of residential property management
- Development of rental housing and housing cooperatives
- Looking at the life cycle of apartment buildings in the context of green transition and digitalisation
- Management of maintenance and energy renovation of multi-family buildings
- Examination of diverse ownership structures of multi-family housing and current urban structures
- Conflict management to build good neighbourly relations in residential buildings and neighbourhoods
- Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030)
- Supporting the development of associations in the housing sector
- Popularisation of the professional image of the caretaker
- Contributing to the elaboration of professional and educational standards of new professions for the management of residential real estate.
The activities of the society are carried out online. The society organises the exchange of opinions and information via online colloquia and round-table discussions. The results of the exchange of views and other useful information are published on the Society's homepage.
