The CCIM Membership Advantage: Powering Smarter Decisions with Site To Do Business

A CCIM Designation represents the highest standard of expertise in commercial real estate, grounded in financial analysis, market knowledge, and ethical decision-making. But in today’s data-driven CRE environment, expertise alone is not enough. The most successful CCIMs pair their knowledge with advanced technology that allows them to move faster, dive deeper, and deliver insights clients can trust. That is where Site To Do Business (STDB) becomes a powerful extension of CCIM membership.

As a core benefit of The CCIM Institute membership, STDB equips Designees and candidates with a centralized platform for location intelligence, market analysis, and commercial real estate research, helping CCIMs turn theory into action.

At its foundation, STDB delivers essential tools for market and site evaluation. Business Analyst combines demographic and customer segmentation data to support market analysis and site selection. ArcGIS Online and Living Atlas provide collaborative mapping and access to Esri’s authoritative data, enabling CCIMs to visualize trends, trade areas, and competitive landscapes. Tools such as DatabaseUSA business listings, Pictometry aerial imagery, and CoreLogic Flood Maps further strengthen due diligence by integrating prospecting, visual context, and risk assessment into one seamless workflow.

STDB also enhances productivity through built-in platform integrations designed for real-world CRE use. Quick Reports allow users to generate polished demographic and psychographic reports in minutes, making them ideal for proposals and presentations. Benchmark Demographics, Excel Demographics, Shift-Share, and Employment Trend Analysis provide fast, defensible insights that support market narratives and investment recommendations.

For CCIMs who require deeper analysis, STDB provides access to advanced product offerings that seamlessly extend existing workflows and enhance advisory services at a more sophisticated level. Tools such as ParGo AI, Moody’s Market Pro, CREtelligent, Rockport VAL, ScoutSpace, and Occupier support everything from advanced geospatial analysis and valuation modeling to due diligence, marketing, and lease management.

What truly sets STDB apart is how it complements the CCIM curriculum. Financial models, market concepts, and strategic frameworks taught through The CCIM Institute come to life inside STDB, allowing members to apply their expertise using real data in real time.

In a competitive market, CCIMs differentiate themselves by delivering clarity, confidence, and insight. Site To Do Business amplifies the CCIM membership, by giving its members the tools they need to lead, advise, and succeed at the highest level.
