First firm in Dubai and the UAE — and the entire Middle East — to earn the global gold standard in real estate management
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 8, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Itihad Community Management in Dubai, UAE, has earned the AMO® (Accredited Management Organization®) accreditation from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM®) on Nov. 7, 2025. The company joins an exclusive group of just over 450 real estate management firms worldwide that have met the rigorous requirements to earn this distinction.
AMO-accredited firms demonstrate strong financial performance, professional leadership, and strict adherence to IREM’s Code of Professional Ethics. The accreditation requires firms to uphold best practices in real estate management, ensuring the highest standards of operation and service. For property owners, the AMO mark is assurance that their interests come first.
Waqar Hasan, CPM, CEO of Itihad Community Management and Humberts Real Estate, called the recognition “a milestone for Dubai’s real estate industry,” saying:
“It feels surreal to be recognized as the first AMO® in the entire Middle East. If anyone ever asks how I contributed to the progress of Dubai’s real estate industry, I can proudly say that I helped bring home the global gold standard in real estate management."
"When I earned my CPM® in 2020, the UAE wasn’t even listed among IREM’s chapters. I began laying the foundations, sharing the idea with IREM headquarters and with our capable professionals here. In just a few years, that vision became reality, and last year, our members achieved the Chapter Charter," Hasan continued. "Seeing our firm now listed among the world’s AMOs is deeply gratifying. This milestone belongs not only to us but to our clients, suppliers, the Dubai Land Department, IREM headquarters, AMCHAM, Dubai Association Center, Dubai Chambers our chapter members, and our dedicated team who carried this vision forward."
“By earning AMO accreditation, Itihad Community Management has earned the respect of its peers, employees, future employees, and clients,” said 2025 IREM President Dawn Carpenter, CPM. “You’ve joined an elite group of companies operating at the top of their game. The AMO symbol differentiates your business by validating your commitment to maintaining financial and management stability, ethical practices, and excellence in customer service.”
