Mark Awarded CCIM Designation April 5 in Chicago
Beaufort,
SC - Michael Mark, REALTOR and Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker
Platinum Partners, has been awarded the Certified Commercial Investment Member
(CCIM) designation by the CCIM Institute. The designation was awarded during
the Institute’s Midyear business meetings April 5 in Chicago.
Michael
Mark was among the 149 commercial real estate professionals who earned the
designation by passing the CCIM Institute’s Comprehensive Examination, the
final element in the designation process. This new group of CCIM designees
hails from 38 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and several provinces in
Canada.
Michael shares, “In 1986 I graduated
from University of South Carolina with a degree in finance and took over the
back office of my family’s furniture business. From 1986 through 2008 I was
able to grow the business from an 11,000 square foot outdated downtown location
to a 60,000 square foot furniture complex with FWDG as the anchor and
additional rental space for complementary businesses. During this time, I
leased and renovated our previous downtown location, today it is one of the
premier restaurants in Beaufort. I obtained my real estate license in
2003 to be an informed investor and placed it with Coldwell Banker Platinum
Partners. I then proceeded to help other investors navigate the market and this
evolved into a full time career. In January 2008 I sold my furniture
business and turned my full focus to real estate and started by helping both
residential and commercial clients, this blossomed into a very strong following
that has allowed me to stay as a top producing agent in the local
marketplace. My commercial real estate business in Beaufort has been
growing and I am transitioning my focus to this segment, luckily with the team
we have in place I will still be able to help my residential clients and insure
they receive to top block service. The redevelopment of outdated properties
such as small mobile home parks in strategic locations and older commercial
buildings in the core commercial districts have been a primary focus with
additional work in site location for companies moving into the area, and sales
of investment properties. I have been very pleased with the flow of clients
seeking my services.”
The
CCIM designation is awarded to commercial real estate professionals upon
successful completion of an advanced analytical curriculum and presentation of
a portfolio of qualifying industry experience. 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. Michael continues, “Over
the past year I have worked towards obtaining the status of CCIM. I am pleased
to say that in April I completed all classes and tests and have received the
Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM)
Designation.”
