CT CCIM awards Kazantzis CCIM Designation

Brooklyn, CT The CCIM Connecticut Chapter is pleased to announce that Andrea Kazantzis of Kazantzis Real Estate in Brooklyn, Conn., was awarded the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Designation by the CCIM Institute, the leading commercial real estate association in the world. The designation was awarded in April at The CCIM Institute’s Midyear Governance Meetings in Nashville, Tenn.

Kazantzis was among the 166 commercial real estate professionals who earned the CCIM Designation by passing the CCIM Comprehensive Examination, the final component in the designation process.

The curriculum addresses financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis, the cornerstones of commercial investment real estate. CCIMs are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation, and investment analysis.

The CCIM Connecticut chapter serves as the focal point for quality education, networking and market services for the commercial investment real estate specialist in Connecticut, by offering resources enabling the commercial investment practitioner to deliver superior service to clients and customers.
