Connecticut CCIM Chapter recognizes four who earned CCIM

Tampa, FL The Connecticut CCIM Chapter recognized four members who recently earned the Certified Commercial Investment Institute (CCIM) designation, the global standard for professional achievement, from the CCIM Institute. Headquartered in Chicago, CCIM Institute is one of the largest commercial real estate networks worldwide.   

The CCIM designation is considered one of the most rigorous commercial real estate professional designation to obtain due to extensive coursework, a peer-reviewed commercial portfolio, and a final comprehensive exam lasting six hours. Five years is average time to complete the CCIM designation requirements. 

New for this year was a special welcome reception held for both candidates and CCIM designees. “It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the candidates,” said 2018 CCIM Institute president Dave Wilson, CCIM. “Existing CCIM designees were able to encourage candidates not only with their upcoming exam but to also to get involved with their local chapters as well as nationally.”

CCIM Institute is a global community of 13,000 members, more than 50 chapters, and 30 countries that educates and connects the world’s leading experts in investment strategy, financial analysis, and market analysis.

The following Connecticut Chapter members were among the 164 industry professionals who earned the CCIM designation during the organization’s 2018 Mid-Year Governance Meetings:

• Ricardo Cordido, CCIM, HK Group;

• Frank Dostilio, CCIM, Wareck Dostilio;
