Braintree and Duxbury, MA (December 23, 2025) – The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms, is pleased to announce that Xinting Lin of Duxbury, Massachusetts, has been awarded a New England Past President’s Scholarship by the Boston Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) to pursue an Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) designation.

The New England Past President’s Scholarship encourages education and industry knowledge by assisting recipients with the cost of tuition associated with earning an IREM credential.
