What is a
CCIM?
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 8,600
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 industry. The CCIM
curriculum consists of four core courses that incorporate
the essential CCIM skill sets: financial analysis, market
analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis
for commercial investment real estate. Additional curriculum
requirements may be completed through CCIM elective courses,
transfer credit for graduate education or professional
recognition, and qualifying non-CCIM education. Following
the course work, candidates must submit a resume of closed
transactions and/or consultations showing a depth of
experience in the commercial investment field. After
fulfilling these requirements, candidates must successfully
complete a comprehensive examination to earn the CCIM
designation. This 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 professionals, investment counselors, asset
managers, appraisers, corporate real estate executives,
property managers, developers, institutional investors,
commercial lenders, attorneys, bankers and other allied
professionals. Through this business network and through
enhanced communication with the CCIM electronic network,
CCIMs successfully complete approximately 156,000
transactions annually, representing more than $400 billion.
Certified Commercial Investment Members are in more
marketplaces in North America -- 12 CCIM regions
representing 1,000 cities -- than all major real estate
companies combined. Regions and chapters provide designees
and candidates the opportunities to promote business and
educational goals through local and regional forums and
meetings.
Conferred by the CCIM Institute, the CCIM designation was
established in 1969. Courses leading to the designation are
now offered throughout the world. For more information, call
(800) 621-7027.
