Commercial Brokers
Hey guys,
I am looking for a great commercial broker in the Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming areas. We are looking for brokers that have good connections with retail businesses so that we can build to suit buildings for them. Please let us know of any that you have worked with or know of that is very good in this area of expertise.

@Brady Hastings An Investor can go for the training, but in order to call themselves a CCIM, will have to qualify for the designee requirements CCIM puts forth. More simply, in order to call yourself a CCIM one must pass the final examination and have an approved portfolio showing certain volume levels or quantity levels.
I think the education is valuable to all, but arguably the biggest value to agents and brokers is the ability to call themselves a CCIM. To investors, the knowledge learned is more of the benefit than the ability to have the letters after your name anyways.
Long story short, I think it is worth it. It will broaden your investment horizons pertaining to financing, asset classes, risk assessments, just to name a few. Give the Intro class a shot and go from there.
I am happy to chat anytime about my opinion of the designation. Good Luck!
