Sterling Karamar Property
Management (SKPM) has
always had a reputation of
excellence within the property
management industry. With over 25
years experience in property development
and management with responsibility
for over five million square feet
of residential, industrial, retail and
office assets, it seems only natural that
they be one of the first privatelyowned
firms to initiate recognition
under FRPO’s new Certified Rental
Building Program (CRB).
Marshall Bleiweis, President of SKPM
set the standard for the organization. “It
seemed only natural to me that Sterling
Karamar Property Management move
forward with certification. It was a ‘no
brainer’ for a company with as strong
an operations base and customer
service orientation as SKPM. It’s true,
some companies will find it a challenging
process, but as an industry, we must
all continue to raise the bar with respect
to customer service and the way we are
ultimately perceived by the general
public. This program does just that!”
Marvin Sadowski, Senior Vice
President adds that “…it proved to be
an absolutely terrific team building
exercise. We weren’t sure how people
would react, especially our residents
but we were applauded at every turn.
Residents came out in droves to celebrate
every event at every site and
many made it a point to praise the
efforts of our team.”
The CRB program is a win/win
program for all and nobody knows it
better then Jack Beaton, Vice President
