Headquartered in Chicago, CCIM Institute is one of the largest global commercial real estate networks.

“These latest designees join an exclusive global commercial real estate community, one that represents the highest level of expertise, experience, and ethics in the industry,” says Timothy S. Blair, CCIM, 2021 global president of CCIM Institute. “That’s why people look to this CCIM pin – each of us brings sophisticated analysis and evaluation skills to the table to make the most of every deal while never losing sight of the human factor – our clients and those we work with on a deal.”
“On behalf of the entire Northern Nevada CCIM Chapter, I’d like to express my most sincere congratulations to Ben, Gerrit and Amanda,” said Casey Scott, CCIM, President of Northern Nevada Chapter. “Earning a CCIM is no easy feat.
