October 23, 2025 — Orlando, Fl — Blanket, the Property Retention and Growth Platform for third-party residential property managers, is proud to announce it has been named Affiliate of the Year at the 2025 National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM®) Annual Convention & Trade Show.
The Blanket team was surprised with the announcement during the event’s main lunch session. As Co-Founder & CEO, Lior Abramovich, recalls, “We were told to be in the main room for lunch. We didn’t expect to leave with Affiliate of the Year!”
As noted in the PMAssist Substack by Abi Ortscheid, with just two years into its journey, Blanket may be one of the youngest vendors ever to receive the honor.
While the award celebrates vendors, Blanket’s team emphasized that the recognition reflects the spirit of partnership and trust shown by the NARPM community. “It’s the people of NARPM who opened the door for us and gave us their trust and the opportunity to contribute,” said Abramovich.
The Blanket team expressed deep appreciation for:
- Former NARPM CEO, Gail Phillips, for trusting and bringing Blanket into the redevelopment of the NARPM Members Directory
- NARPM staff members, Savannah Perry, Victoria Hecht, and Rebecca Woodring, for their tireless work promoting NARPM and supporting vendor partnerships
- NARPM CEO, Troy Garrett, and 2026 NARPM President, DD Garzon, for inviting Lior to serve on the NARPM 2.0 Task Force that works on redefining the future of NARPM
- NARPM Women’s Council of Property Managers Council Chair, Misty Berger and Council Member, Courtney Parks, for collaborating on the Leading Women in Property Management program
- NARPM Chapter Presidents and the broader community for their trust, votes, and ongoing support
“Every time the Blanket team walks into a NARPM event, we’re surrounded by friends,” said Abramovich. “This award is a reflection of the relationships that have helped shape our company.”
2025 NARPM President, Amy Hanson, shared her thoughts on Blanket receiving the award:
“I have volunteered with NARPM for 15 years and have seen vendors come and go. When Blanket arrived on the scene, they said “we are here to help! Let’s work together to solve issues.” Blanket saw a need to help NARPM members connect and send referrals throughout the organization, and they committed the resources and technological expertise to donate the new Members Directory to NARPM. This will help all members for years to come. Blanket is a true partner in our community.”
2026 NARPM President, DD Garzon, also shared her thoughts, emphasizing Blanket’s contribution to the NARPM 2.0 initiative:
“When I invited Lior to present at the 2025 NARPM National Strategic Planning session, I had no idea that he was about to disrupt our industry with his vision on using the power of data to position NARPM as the future leading source of accurate and actual rental market data for the SFR space. Since day one of their involvement with NARPM, Blanket dove head-first into our organization and became not just one of our biggest supporters, but also problem solvers and thought-leaders. Every ask was met with a fervent “yes of course”, and they delivered results quickly and with excellence. We are truly blessed to have the talented team behind Blanket to help NARPM with our growth and strategic initiatives.”
NARPM CEO, Troy Garret, congratulated the Blanket team on receiving the award:
“Sagi, Lior, and the rest of the amazing Blanket team invested their time into volunteer consulting and project building for NARPM and its members this past year. I was blown away by the Blanket team’s efforts to identify issues and quickly provide solutions that help elevate the NARPM membership experience. As we approach the new year and the implementation of NARPM 2.0, Blanket demonstrates they are willing to go the extra mile for the property management industry. We were thrilled to present them with the 2025 NARPM Affiliate of the Year Award. They exemplify what the award stands for in our industry: Excellence, dedication, and a willingness to volunteer. Congratulations, team Blanket! You deserve this honor!”
