“CCIM’s education has provided me with invaluable knowledge and resources that will be of great benefit to our customers.” states Chris Spear.

A Certified Commercial Investments Member (CCIM) is a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry. The designation is awarded to those that complete the ethical, educational and sales volume requirements. There are over 15,000 CCIM commercial real estate professionals around the globe which gives it’s members international connectivity.

Vasquez participated in the CCIM/University Fast Track Program with Florida International University (FIU). The courses he completed while earning his Master of Science in International Real Estate counted towards his CCIM requirements as well. “It’s a great advantage to be able to connect what I learned at FIU with the CCIM Institute and achieve this prestigious designation.” exclaims Vasquez. “This CCIM Designation not only gives us the ability to further assist our clients, but to also connect with an unmatchable network of professionals around the world. CCIM is a well-recognized, global brand amongst the commercial real estate professionals.”

We are planning an active year for 2010 focusing on hosting several industry events and asking that you consider sponsoring one or more of these CCIM events. One of our first CCIM events on January 20, 2010 is the CCIM Real Estate Outlook Conference with a three-year track record and over 200 high profile real estate professionals in attendance each year. It is the most informative, comprehensive and valuable forecast you can attend for up to date information and predictions for 2010. As a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to talk to hundreds of prospective business partners, forge new relationships, and initiate new business! This event attracts key real estate professionals and many non-CCIM associates who are also experts in their respective fields. The event is to be hosted at the Riviera Country Club in Coral Gables and offers various Sponsorship levels including a $1,500.00 Silver option, a $3,000.00 Gold option or a $6,000.00 Platinum option. Please refer to the attached Sponsorship Package Benefits flyer for additional information.

In addition we also offer other exciting CCIM events throughout the year including Career Fairs, International Conferences, and CCIM Institute Events. Once a quarter, we host a guest speaker to discuss “hot” topics relevant to commercial real estate. Our average attendance to these events is over 30 attendees. For $250.00 you are able to present your products or service to the leaders in our market in a face-to-face setting. Your sponsorship enables us to continue providing the highest quality of marketing and networking opportunities, services, and education that will enhance our designees’ and candidates’ ability toconduct business successfully.
