One way to enhance your resume and boost your career is to obtain one of the prestigious commercial real estate designations – CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Manager) or SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS). Each designation entails qualifications tied to continuing education, portfolio and transaction volume, sponsorship, and years in the business. The Wisconsin commercial board of REALTORS (CARW) manages the administration for both groups and can be a resource for finding out more. SIOR recently introduced a ‘member associate track’ for members early in their careers and CCIM offers online and in-person education towards the designation.
