CCIM Course

[James Syed]

Hello BP Members,

I signed up for upcoming CCIM CI-101 Course starting tomorrow (Monday October 12) in St. Louis. 

I have been investing in real estate since 2007 and acquired my Realtor / Broker license in January 2013. I am leaning towards Commercial Real Estate so I decided to enroll in CCIM CI-101 class. 

It's a rigorous course consisting of multiple modules. 

Hope it will be helpful for my real estate goals. 

Any comments / thoughts appreciated.

@James Syed wish you the best!

Thanks for the confirmation on the CCIM designation. I have heard that the CCIM is a highly respected designation in the real estate community and I've heard from several successful commercial brokers that the networking is incredible among CCIM members.   

James Syed, among 150,000 commercial real estate professionals in the United States, only 6 percent hold the CCIM designation. I think once you get your CCIM, this designation is going demonstrate to your clients and prospective clients an extremely high commitment to your profession. You will also need complete your portfolio requirement on your sales volume.

I am going to look into the CCIM University fast track program which they will waive CI 101, CI 102, CI 103 and three elective credit requirements if you have an MBA or a Master's degree with a real estate concentration.
