Multifamily Apartment Acronyms-Can you add to this list?

Multifamily Apartment Acronyms-Can you add to this list?

3014 Hits

I am really not sure who I am writing the blog post for, me or you.  However I thought it would be kind of cool to have a list of multifamily acronyms listed and their long version listed all in one place.  Maybe you will have some of your own to add at the bottom.  Even outside the industry we run across acronyms we kind of wonder about.  So for all of us with acronym deficiency syndrome (ADS), here is my list.  Let’s start with some common industry acronyms.

CPM–Certified Property Manager

CAPS-Certified Apartment Property Supervisor

CAS-Certified Apartment Supplier

RAM-Regional Asset Manager

CLP-Certified Leasing Professional

MFE-Multifamily Executive

CSP-Certified Speaking Professional

CAM-Certified Apartment Manager

CAN-Certified Apartment Nerd

If there are any that I missed please add them in the comments below.  Now for a few random acronyms I have stumbled across.

SEO-Search Engine Optimization

CRM-Customer Relationship Management

WOMM- Word of Mouth Marketing

ISYOT-I’ve seen you out there

GA- Google Analytics

 

I am sure you have some of your own favorites, so please feel free to share below in the comments and share the article on Facebook and Twitter.  Thanks for stopping by.

Jonathan, probably a different path than you were headed down; acronyms have mushroomed in the age of only 140 characters allowed on Twitter.

Suggest we begin with the following;

1. TXTSPK - "Text Speak." A strange foreign language that I had no choice but to learn-my teens were enjoying my total bewilderment at what they were communicating about me. Rosetta Stone doesn't sell CD's teaching this...YET.

2. LOL - "Laugh out Loud." I used to think it meant, "Relax" as in "She lolls her head around." I'm an idiot.

3. Y/T? - I used to think it meant, "Yo, T!" Duh. It means "You there?"

4. WTF - "Wednesday, Thursday, Friday." My Mom would whup up on me if she thought I meant anything else.

5. LMAO - "Letting My Angst Out." Again, gutter talk is unacceptable as per my Mom.

6. IM - "Instant Message". Finally, I got one right.

7. N00B - A nickname for people who don't play online WarGames. Here's using the word in a sentence - "I don't care if I'm a N00B."

8. OMG - "Oh my Goodness." An exclamation by Shirley Temple.

9. RKR - "ROCKER." Flexible word for SuperStars or Grandma's.

And My Personal Fave:

10. Wiki - "Quick and Efficient" in Hawaiian. Used in a sentence; "Those folks at RentWiki R RKR's delivering OMG IM's from Legit Leads WTF. They're having a Killer Party in NO for NAA. Time to LMAO. Only N00B's will miss it. Y/T ? LOL UR BFF.

Bonus one: DOH! - Means "DOH!" I use it a lot.

I've used [url]http://www.acronyms.thefreedictionary.com [/url] in the past to look up acronyms I don't know. I learned there that HAA is not just the Houston Apartment Association but also short for Humans Against Acronyms.

@Tamela thanks for the comment
@Aimee I have used that sight before as well. I actually had to use it to write this post. It is comical to see the different possibilities for various acronyms. Thanks for the comment.
