CHICAGO (September, 2009) A total of 199 commercial real estate professionals from 36 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces now hold a distinction awarded to a relatively small percentage of practitioners over the past 40 years: The Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation conferred by the CCIM Institute, one of the leading commercial real estate associations in the world.
These professionals, who represent a broad spectrum of industry disciplines, earned the CCIM designation in late August following examinations held in Chicago. They scored passing grades on the Institute's Comprehensive Examination, the final component in the designation process. More than 15,000 commercial real estate professionals from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe have earned the CCIM designation since the program was founded in 1969.
The CCIM designation is awarded to commercial real estate professionals upon successful completion of a graduate-level education curriculum and presentation of a portfolio of qualifying industry experience. The curriculum addresses: financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis and investment analysis - the cornerstones of commercial investment real estate. CCIMs are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation, and investment analysis.
The CCIM business network encompasses 1,000 markets throughout North America, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean. Of the estimated 125,000 commercial real estate practitioners in North America, more than 9,000 currently hold the CCIM designation. CCIM Designees include professionals who work in brokerage, investment and development, the corporate environment, property management, appraisal and related segments of commercial real estate. An additional 8,000 professionals are pursuing the designation as Institute candidates.
The CCIM Institute is a leading commercial real estate association that confers the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation through an extensive curriculum of 200 classroom hours, in addition to industry experience.
