Is your commercial agent a CCIM? Why this matters

CCIM, Certified Commercial Investment Member, is the commercial real estate industry's highest credential for investment analysis. Only about 6 percent of commercial practitioners hold it. CCIM designees average 42 percent more transactions a year than a typical brokerage specialist and close more than $200 billion in transactions annually, according to The CCIM Institute. John DeMarco, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX 5 Star Realty, is a CCIM designee and leads every listing the group takes on.
