A Message From Our President

Welcome to CCIM Miami District.

CCIM and CCIM Miami are your path to advancing your commercial real estate career. We produce a series of presentations on the most relevant topics presented by industry leaders in commercial real estate, law, finance and strategy, packed with valuable insight and actionable intelligence that you can use immediately. We host networking events, award valuable educational scholarships to CCIM candidates and we host South Florida’s premier annual Commercial Real Estate Outlook Conference.

In addition to access to valuable events and educational opportunities, your CCIM Miami membership will provide you with the opportunity to meet and build relationships with a resourceful network of CCIM designees, CCIM candidates, sponsors, and service providers in South Florida and beyond.

I also encourage you to pursue earning your CCIM designation. The CCIM program provides you with the gold standard in commercial real estate education, the opportunity to learn the most advanced finance, market analysis and investment strategies from the most experienced instructors in the business, and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with fellow candidates and professionals from markets around the country and throughout the world. Educational scholarships are available from CCIM Miami and from the CCIM Institute for military veterans and diversity candidates.

It is my great honor and privilege to serve as the 2024 President of CCIM Miami District. I look forward to seeing you soon and encourage you to join CCIM Miami.

Sincerely,

Robert Palacios, MBA, CCIM
