Terry Moore, CCIM, of ACI Apartments in San Diego reached out to Robert Vallera, CCIM, of Grubb & Ellis in San Diego when seeking a buyer for a 10-unit San Diego apartment building on behalf of a private seller. “I knew that Robert, as a fellow CCIM, understood what made the transaction special,” Moore says. “Having a proven broker on the other side was a deciding factor when there were multiple buyers at the table.” Their connection helped Moore and Vallera close the more than $1.1 million sale to a private family trust. “My CCIM training helps me solve problems I couldn’t even articulate before I completed the program,” Moore adds. “I knew Robert could speak the same language.”
