Certified Commercial Investment Member

Certified Commercial Investment Member

Certified Commercial Investment Members (CCIM) are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, valuation, and investment analysis.

CCIMs are backed by a respected education program, as well as superior technology products and business resources. 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 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.

The CCIM curriculum consists of four core courses that incorporate the essential CCIM skill sets:
  • Financial analysis
  • Market analysis
  • User decision analysis
  • 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.
