About CCIM Institute
Many professionals go on to earn the CCIM pin, commercial real estate’s most coveted credential, which represents proven expertise in investment analysis. Since 1967, more than 20,000 professionals have completed the core designation program. Today, fewer than 10 percent of commercial real estate investors and advisers currently wear the CCIM pin, making them the go-to experts in their respective markets. Industry research has shown that CCIM designees significantly outperform non-designated professionals across key metrics, including compensation.
While the core curriculum to earn the CCIM designation is for those who want to set themselves apart as the expert in their company or market, it’s not for everybody. That’s why the institute offers more than 60 other courses, along with custom training, to ensure that everyone working in commercial real estate has access to professional development, regardless of their ultimate career goals.
In conjunction with more than 50 chapters across the globe, CCIM Institute continues to innovate best practices, provide members with industry-leading tools, and advance the commercial real estate profession.
