Who We Are
The North Texas CCIM Chapter membership provides entrepreneurial CRE professionals with a local referral network to source and transact deals in their markets and beyond. Chapter events provide local market intel as well as a ready cohort to explore new opportunities, including transitioning leasing assignments to investment sales or even becoming an equity partner in a transaction.
WHAT IS A CCIM?
• A CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) is a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry.
• A CCIM is a part of a global commercial real estate network with members across North America and more than 30 countries.
• CCIMs have completed a designation curriculum that covers essential CCIM skill sets including ethics, interest-based negotiation, financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis for commercial investment real estate.
• The CCIM lapel pin is earned after completing a designation process that ensures CCIMs are proficient not only in theory but also in practice.
• Industry research has shown that CCIM designees significantly outperform non-designated professionals across key metrics, including compensation.
• CCIMs have completed a portfolio demonstrating the depth of their commercial real estate experience. Finally, they have demonstrated their proficiency in the CCIM skill sets by successfully completing a comprehensive examination.
• This elite corps of CCIMs includes brokers, leasing professionals, investment counselors, asset managers, appraisers, corporate real estate executives, property managers, developers, institutional investors, commercial leaders, attorneys, bankers, and other allied professionals.
• As a result, the experts who possess the CCIM designation are an invaluable resource for commercial real estate owners, investors, and users.
• Only then is a designation candidate awarded the coveted CCIM pin, joining the ranks of highly skilled commercial and investment real estate experts.
