The CCIM Institute helps make an impact on the careers of commercial real estate professionals.

A Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. The shift in the capital markets, the new regulatory environment, and the availability of data are reshaping today’s commercial real estate transaction. Through it all, CCIM Institute has remained a steward of the highest standards of knowledge, professionalism, and ethics. Today, almost 70 percent of designees hold the title of owner, partner, principal, or president. Marking their entry into the elite group of Certified Commercial Investment Members, the CCIM pin denotes that the wearer has completed the most rigorous level of education in investment strategy, financial analysis, and negotiation. Following the course work, candidates must submit a portfolio of closed transactions and/or consultations showing a depth of experience in the commercial investment field. This designation process ensures that CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice. The CCIM designation allows industry professionals to earn a graduate-level specialization in commercial real estate at 20 percent of the cost of a real estate master’s program, with a comparable impact on their careers. Join commercial real estate’s premier organization spanning 13,000 members worldwide working in 1,000 markets.
