Tech Support - There’s no need to panic when you run into the setback you dread most: “unexpected technical difficulties.” With IREM’s new Tech Helpline, help is a simple phone call away!

The Tech Helpline is available to U.S. and Canadian IREM Members.

 

Essential for Your Business – Fast and reliable tech support is a “must-have” to keep your business running smoothly.

Comprehensive Tech Support for U.S. and Canadian Members – If you are an IREM Member in the U.S. or Canada, Helpline experts can assist you with a vast range of hardware and software issues. Just dial for help when you encounter glitches with your PDA, printer, digital camera, MS Office software, accounting applications, Internet access, and more.

 

Unlimited Free Support – There is no charge for this service and there are no limitations or restrictions on the length of the call or on the number of calls.

Education

 

  • We are very excited to announce major changes to some of REIC’s courses, starting with the newly updated REIC 2360: The Leasing Process and REIC 2361: Negotiation and Documentation in Commercial Leasing. 

 

  • REIC 2360: The Leasing Process is in the process of being translated.

 

  • As you are aware, REIC 2600: Ethics and Business Practice and REIC 2270: Consumer Behaviour and Negotiating have already been updated and translated into French.  These two courses together with the REIC 2360 complete the education component for brokers in Quebec.

 

  • A special thank you goes out to William McCarthy, FRI CPM® CLO for his commitment to completing the volunteer task of updating both the REIC 2360 and REIC 2361 courses.
