Waken awarded designation



Brad Waken, broker for Waken and Co. Real Estate, was awarded the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation by the CCIM Institute, one of the leading commercial real estate associations in the world.

The designation was awarded in late August following examinations held in Chicago.

Waken was among the 199 commercial real estate professionals from across the nation who earned the designation by passing the Institute’s comprehensive examination, the final component in the designation process.

The CCIM designation is awarded to commercial real estate professionals upon successful completion of over 200 hours of graduate-level education curriculum, a presentation of a portfolio of qualifying industry experience and the completion of the six hour comprehensive examination. The curriculum addresses financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, investment analysis and advanced negotiation techniques – the cornerstones of commercial investment real estate. CCIMs are recognized experts in commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation and investment analysis.
