CCIM ROI
When CCIMs
utilize a combination of CCIM member benefits they get the deal done. Mark Van
Ark, CCIM, of KW Commercial in
Boulder, Colo., attributes a more than $2.5 million industrial deal he closed
with Eric Rutherford, CCIM,
of Wright Kingdom Realtors in Boulder to chapter networking and CCIM technology
tools. “Without our local CCIM Chapter networking, the strength of this
property would not have been evident to potential buyers,” says Van Ark. He
represented MBL Land Co. LLC in the sale of the 38,700-sf industrial property
in Broomfield, Colo., to Cloudburst LLC. Rutherford represented the buyer. When
presented with STDB data, the buyer understood the value of the transaction and
the duo was able to close the deal.
“This transaction is a perfect example of an existing “have” being
matched with a “need” that arises during the normal course of a CCIM’s
practice,” says Van Ark.
