CCIM ROI
Never underestimate the power of CCIMs in numbers. Jason
Fountain, CCIM, of Waldvogel Commercial Properties in Roanoke, Va., worked
alongside two fellow CCIMs in closing the $7.2 million sale of the 174-unit
Northbridge Apartment Village in Roanoke, Va. “Working on a transaction with other
CCIMs instills a level of confidence when you meet obstacles along the way,” says
Fountain. He and a partner represented Deal Properties: Northridge Apartments
LLC in its purchase. Matthew R. Huff, CCIM, and Dennis R. Cronk, CCIM, of Poe
& Cronk Real Estate Group in Roanoke represented the seller, Northridge
Village LLC. It’s the
shared CCIM training that sparked the deal making chemistry that helped to
close this big deal. “Because the CCIM education includes such a comprehensive
model for analyzing investment real estate and CCIM practitioners are
encouraged to be masters of markets in which they operate, we were able to meet
clients’ expectations on both sides of the transaction and quickly
arrive at an agreeable price and terms in a highly competitive situation,” says
Fountain.
