CAI-NJ Ultimate Partner Company Profile

History of mem property management. 

mem property management is a privately held NJ property management company, founded in 1984, by Martin H. Laderman, with the vision to increase property value through solid, experienced management. Since that time the company has expanded to manage dozens of properties from its New York border to the Jersey Shore.

mem property management is privileged to serve some of the finest communities throughout New Jersey including many of the major developers and builders as well as communities as diverse as small ocean-front condominiums to large master-planned communities with several hundred homes to age-restricted retirement communities.

 What is your role in the organization? What is your background? How long have you been in the industry?

I am very proud to be the CEO and President of . I am incredibly lucky to have the best job in the world.

In 1982, I joined a New Jersey real estate management condominium firm with responsibility for the daily management of 25,000 residential units. I recognized the importance and need for exceptional professional property management and started mem property management in 1984.

I am a member of National Association of Residential Property Managers,, Community Associations Institute (CAI); and I am actively involved with the New Jersey Association of Realtors legislative activities. In 1999, I completed the “Essentials of Community Association Management” and I am currently in the process of obtaining the Association Management Specialist (AMS) and Professional Community Association Management (PCAM) Designation.

Is there a specific project or program that you would like to highlight?

One of the highlights for the past year was the opportunity to sponsor The New Jersey Cooperator’s Condo, HOA, Co-op & Apt. Expo., one of the most popular real estate trade shows in New Jersey, attended by nearly 1100 board members, homeowners, property managers and apartment building owners throughout the state. We had the largest booth at the show and the best coffee and treats, but most importantly, we were able to meet so many interesting people and learn more about our constantly changing industry.

What might someone be surprised to learn about your company?

I believe in a hands-on, personal, team approach to property management, recognizing the individual requirements of each property and tailoring our management program to meet those unique needs. With a results-driven approach and a never-ending aim for capital improvements, we continue to provide outstanding value and service to all New Jersey properties that we manage and strive to maintain the comfort, beauty, and safety of each community we serve. My incredibly talented and beautiful wife Elvia is Executive Vice President, and my son, Matthew is Vice President of Operations, so we are very much a business based on family values and building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships. I believe our clients see that as our greatest strength, especially compared to our competitors.

Have you or your company received any recent awards or certifications?

mem property management achieved the position of 556 on the Inc. 5000 List, a renowned recognition of the top 5000 fastest growing private companies in the United States. mem also received recognition from Inc. as number 14 in the list’s top real estate companies, as well as number 25 in the New Jersey profiles and number 44 in the New York metro standings.

mem property management also is proud to be recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as an Accredited Business, achieving an A+ rating for its proven record of trustworthiness, ethics and commitment to outstanding client service.

What trends do you see for the Community Association industry?

I think the Community Association industry was a little slow to embrace social media and online marketing. 91% of online adults use social media regularly and Internet users have an average of 5.54 social media accounts. We have been online from the very beginning and have been able to resolve many questions by being able to respond to our communities in real-time on Facebook, Twitter and other social channels. We also share timely local news and events so we can be a valuable resource to our communities. Social media is also a great way to showcase the beautiful communities we manage and introduce the talented team of professionals who work tirelessly every day to keep our residents happy. I think we will see more and more management companies connecting to residents online as a way to complement their offline services.
