What Is a CCIM and Why It Should Matter to You?

How CCIM Sets the Standard in Commercial Real Estate

CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) is a designation that recognizes the leading experts in commercial real estate investment. It is achieved by those who have proven they are leaders in financial/market/investment analysis and negotiation. A CCIM is earned through advanced coursework, passing a comprehensive exam, and demonstrated experience in the industry. This self-paced program typically takes between one to three years to complete.

Why it’s a big deal

The CCIM designation is an elite group of professionals, with only an estimated 6% of industry professionals holding this title. The professionals who go through this process are committing to becoming a leader in their profession. They are committing to:

• An extensive, 4-course curriculum
• Ethics course
• Negotiation training
• Other elective courses as needed
• Two days of pre-exam course review
• Full day final exam
• Submitting a comprehensive portfolio
