Raising the Bar: How Canadian Certified Rental Building™ (CRB) Certification Enhances Kelson Group’s Rental Properties

At Kelson Group, we’re all about providing safe, clean, and attractive homes where our residents can thrive. But we believe in going beyond just meeting expectations—we want to exceed them. That’s where the Canadian Certified Rental Building™ (CRB) Program comes in. This special certification ensures that the homes we manage aren’t just good; they’re the best.

So, what does CRB-certified mean for Kelson Group, our residents, and the communities we serve? Let’s dive in!

What is the CRB Program?

The CRB Program is like a gold star for rental buildings. It’s the only certification of its kind in North America, and it focuses specifically on apartment living. To earn CRB status, buildings must meet 55 Best Practice Standards, covering everything from property management to maintenance to resident services. The cherry on top? All CRB-certified buildings are also part of the Living Green Together™ initiative, which means they’re eco-friendly and energy-efficient—something everyone can feel good about.

How Does CRB Help Kelson Group Shine?

The CRB certification isn’t just a fancy title—it’s a game-changer for Kelson Group. Here’s how it makes a real difference:

First off, it boosts our reputation. When people see that our buildings are CRB-certified, they know we’re serious about quality. It’s a signal that we’re not just another property manager; we’re a company that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and satisfaction of our residents. That’s a big deal in a competitive rental market, where standing out is key.

The CRB Program also helps us build stronger, longer-lasting relationships with our residents. We’re not just providing a roof over their heads; we’re offering a space where they feel heard, valued, and well taken care of. With CRB’s emphasis on high standards of service, residents can expect quick responses to maintenance requests, clear communication, and a generally smooth living experience. Happy tenants stick around longer—and that’s great for everyone.

Plus, there’s the sustainability factor. Being CRB-certified means we’re committed to green practices that reduce our environmental impact. It’s not just about being kind to the planet—it also helps us save on costs, which benefits both us and our residents. Eco-friendly living is a win for the earth and a win for your wallet!

It’s All About Teamwork and Values

At Kelson Group, we live by our core values, the Kelson F.A.C.T.S.: Fairness, Accountability, Caring, Teamwork, and Service. And guess what? These values align perfectly with the goals of the CRB Program. Whether it’s being transparent with our residents, holding ourselves accountable for the quality of our properties, or providing exceptional service, the CRB certification reinforces everything we stand for.

The CRB Program also pushes us to keep improving. It challenges us to raise the bar, which is exactly what we aim to do—today and every day. It’s not just about being good; it’s about being the best at what we do.

Why It’s a Win for Everyone

For Kelson Group, the CRB certification means we can confidently say, “We’re giving you the best.” For our residents, it means living in well-maintained, professionally managed homes that prioritize their comfort and well-being. And for everyone involved, it means being part of something bigger—something that’s not just about renting a place to live, but about creating a community where people can thrive.

In short, the CRB Program is a perfect fit for Kelson Group. It’s a powerful tool that helps us continue to provide quality homes while showing our residents and the wider community that we’re dedicated to excellence in everything we do.

So, if you're thinking about where to call home, look for the CRB stamp of approval. It’s not just a certification—it’s a promise.
