There are a multitude of details to be properly handled in any complex commercial real estate transaction. Thus, considering an investment in real estate, the investor would be well advised to engage the services of a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), a recognized commercial real estate professional.

A Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. A CCIM is an invaluable resource to the commercial real estate owner, investor and user, and is among an elite corps of 6,500 professionals across North America who hold the CCIM designation.

Recognized for its preeminence within the industry, the CCIM curriculum represents the core knowledge expected of commercial investment practitioners, regardless of the diversity of specializations within the financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis for commercial investment real estate. Additional curriculum requirements may be completed through CCIM elective education. Following the course work, candidates must submit a resume of closed transactions and/or consultations showing depth of experience in the commercial investment field. After fulfilling these requirements, candidates must successfully complete a comprehensive examination to earn the CCIM designation. The designation process ensures that CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice.

With such a wide range of subjects to be mastered and in a dynamic business such as real estate, the educational process doesn't end once the designation is earned; there is a strong commitment among CCIMS to continuing education.

Only 6 percent of the estimated 125,000 commercial real estate practitioners nationwide hold the CCIM designation, which reflects not only the caliber of the program, but also why it is one of the most coveted and respected designations in the industry. The CCIM membership network mirrors the increasingly changing nature of the industry and includes brokers, leasing professional investment counselors, asset managers, corporate real estate executives, bankers, attorneys and institutional investors. Through this business network and through enhanced communication with the CCIM electronic network, CCIMs successfully complete approximately 156,000 transactions annually, representing more than $440 billion.

CCIMs are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation, and investment analysis, and form business network encompassing 1,000 markets throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.
