There are four essential CCIM skill sets: financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis for commercial real estate. Following the CCIM 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.
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. CCIMs successfully complete approximately 156,000 transactions annually, representing more than $400 billion.
