Experience and Expertise provides an invaluable Real Estate Business Partner.
There are a multitude of details to be properly handled in any complex commercial real estate transaction. Thus, when considering a real estate transaction the Seller or Buyer would be well advised to engage the services of a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM), a recognized real estate professional.
A team of professionals from various disciplines should be assembled to concentrate on specific aspects of a transaction. A CCIM, as a member of this team, is best able to understand the components of the transaction and to Sheppard the activities of everyone in concert toward a successful conclusion for the Investor or Tenant.
A CCIM has the professional training, education and experience to serve the members of the Investment, User, or Tenant-decision team, which should include the Investor, User, or Tenants lawyers, accountants and bankers. A CCIM is able to see the transaction as more than merely the buying, leasing, or selling of a particular piece of real estate. He will view the situation as finding a solution to a problem expressed by the Buyer, Seller, or Tenant. When all the various professional disciplines work in concert for the client’s benefit, the result of their coordinated efforts, orchestrated by a CCIM, should be a real estate transaction that will serve the Investor, User or Tenant well in the present and in the future.
The CCIM institute, Chicago, confers the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation through an extensive curriculum of 20 classroom hours in addition to professional experiential requirements. CCIMs are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation, and investment analysis, and from a business network encompassing 1,000 markets throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. There are currently 9,500 CCIM designees, with and equal number of professionals pursuing the designation.
