Membership: Investing in Your Success

Renewing your CCIM Institute membership keeps you plugged into a global network, industry-leading education, and powerful tools that elevate your expertise and competitive edge. It’s an investment that drives long-term business value while strengthening the collective impact of the CCIM community. 

For Candidates, continued membership secures access to Designation courses – the pathway to the coveted CCIM Designation. Designees not only maintain their Designation but also many additional benefits, including instruction through the Robert L. Ward Center for Real Estate Studies and innovative tools like Site To Do Business. Through STDB and the myriad Member Advantage Partners, members gain the data, intelligence, and efficiency needed to compete with confidence. Renewal strengthens not only your expertise but also the collective impact of The CCIM Institute community. 

When asked what do you hope to do now that you have CCIM in behind your name, Micajah Gary, CCIM says he wants to “bring more value to my clients, you know; being able to serve them in a much better way, being able to utilize all the concepts of these courses of taught.” 

Looking Ahead to Powerful New Benefits 
Beginning in 2026, CCIM members can access an expanded suite of benefits designed to enhance professional growth, streamline the education journey, and deliver even greater value. Currently Commercial, The Institute’s signature webinar series, will become free for all members, ensuring everyone stays informed on market trends and industry developments.  

In addition, new bundled education pathways will make it easier and more cost-effective to pursue your goals, with package options for the CCIM Designation, and new Cohort experience for our Certificate programs. These enhancements reinforce The Institute’s commitment to supporting your success at every stage of your career. 

These upcoming enhancements reflect The CCIM Institute’s ongoing commitment to elevating member value and supporting your success at every stage of your career. Renewing your membership ensures uninterrupted access to these benefits—and positions you to leverage the full power of the CCIM community, now and in the exciting years ahead. 

In 2026, our goal is to continue delivering better offerings and benefits to our members, so they can continue to grow and thrive as individuals, as well as a collective network. The value of a network is unmeasurable, giving CCIMs a vast network of CRE professionals looking to make deals and learn. The CCIM Spring and Fall Forums have become the best place for networking and dealmaking, with Jerrod A. Trainer, ALC, CCIM, mentioning “it was a fantastic experience, and I am truly grateful it will forever be the place I was awarded the CCIM Designation. Lots of good memories that will last a lifetime were made that week.”  

Investing in Your Success  
In an industry defined by rapid change, evolving market forces, and increasing competition, your membership ensures you remain connected to the people, knowledge, and tools that give you a measurable edge.  

CCIM membership links you to an influential global network of commercial real estate leaders. These connections aren’t just names in a directory; they are collaborators, advisors, deal partners, and trusted peers who understand the complexities of the field. Staying active within this network keeps you plugged into a community where opportunities emerge, insights are shared, and professional relationships grow into lasting value. 

Education is another cornerstone of the CCIM experience. Member-exclusive pricing for Designation courses and advanced offerings from the Robert L. Ward Center for Commercial Real Estate Studies have the best opportunities for those starting or continuing their education journey. Whether you are expanding your analytical skills, strengthening deal-making strategies, or exploring a specialty area, The CCIM Institute’s education positions you to succeed in a dynamic marketplace where expertise matters.

Technology is on your side 
In today’s data-driven environment, technology is essential, and CCIM members benefit from platforms that elevate intelligence and performance. Access to Site To Do Business – a $1,695 value - and discounts on a growing portfolio of technology partners provide research capabilities, financial insights, and workflow efficiencies comparable to those of major firms. Members now have access to CREPI, the Commercial Real Estate Performance Index forecast dashboard inside Site To Do Business, which turns leading economic indicators into practical market outlooks for vacancy, rent, and cap rates. 

Renewing your CCIM Institute membership is far more than an administrative step—it’s a strategic investment in your long-term success as a commercial real estate professional. Your membership is more than access to benefits — it is a connection to a global network of leaders shaping the future of commercial real estate. Renew today to continue growing your business, expanding your relationships, and building opportunities that reach far beyond your local market.
