Commercial real estate has reached a new era:

global investors are chasing yield in secondary markets; cash flow has become as important as cap rate compression; and a flight to quality has replaced portfolio and entity-level transactions. Now more than ever, the industry needs local expertise skilled in analysis, asset management, and appreciation.

Mastering a New Mindset

Technology isn't just making commercial real estate more efficient; it's changing tenant expectations. Meeting those new expectations will allow industry players to thrive. To get there, commercial real estate professionals need to adopt a user experience mindset.

Big-League Deals

CCIM designees completed an outstanding year in 2017, with plenty of big deals in office, multifamily, industrial, and retail. Several of those CCIMs who closed the biggest deals discuss the secrets of managing huge transactions.

China’s Transformation

China's outbound commercial real estate investment activities are accelerating its structural transformation from a government-led economy to a market-driven economy.

Negotiating Difficult Deals

For advisers to less experienced investors, the commercial real estate transaction remains all too human. It's their job to navigate through the emotions, the competing interests, and the miscommunication to get to that closing. CCIMs use radical empathy to achieve positive outcomes.

Ahead of the Curve

With markets changing rapidly, commercial real estate professionals are finding new ways to adapt successfully. Trends such as vibrant downtowns, alternative lending, property and land reuse, and international investment in the U.S. can be ideal springboards.
