It
is with great sadness that we report the passing of Tim Hatlestad, 2008 CCIM President and a long time RE/MAX
Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Achievers and president of RE/MAX Commercial Investment
in Scottsdale, Ariz. A memorial service was held in his honor on November 21,
2011, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Tim,
originally from Fargo, North Dakota, started his real estate career in 1983 and
was known as an innovator among his peers and had a distinguished resume,
serving as President of the CCIM Institute in 2008 and President of the Arizona
Association of REALTORS in 2005. Tim was honored as REALTOR of the Year by the
Arizona Association of REALTORS, and was the recipient of the Vision Award,
which recognized him as the “best prepared real estate practitioner with the
highest standards.” Tim, as a CCIM
instructor, was recipient of all of the major award recognitions that an
instructor could aspire to attain.
A
loving father, husband, and leader, he is survived by his beloved wife, Keri,
daughter Morgan, his son Griffin, his mother Pauline, and his sisters, Joan and
Pam. He was honored to spend time with the members of the La Casa de Cristo
Men’s Ministry as well as its high school youth group. All of those privileged
to know him will miss him and cherish their eternal memories of his life. Donations
in his memory can be made directly to the church to be used for scholarships.
In
addition the CCIM Institute and the Education Foundation are joining together
to establish and provide the first $10,000 towards the “Hatlestad Scholarship
Fund.” Individual or corporate donations can be made to the “Education
Foundation of the CCIM Institute” with the notation of Timothy S. Hatlestad,
CCIM. Send in care of the Education Foundation, 430 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite
800, Chicago, IL 60611. It is felt that because of Tim’s passion for education
both as an instructor and practitioner, that this is an appropriate way to
honor him. The scholarship fund is being established to assist students who have
been devastated by personal tragedies with assistance in payment of tuition
and/or other educational expenses.
We
ask you keep all Tim’s family, friends, and business associates in your
thoughts and prayers. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Notes and cards of condolence can be sent to the
Hatlestad Family, 12253 N. 78th Place, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.
