Chris Marek Awarded CCIM Designation Oct. 13 in Chicago
Nov 9, 2022
Mr. Chris Marek, CCIM, Managing Director/Broker in Charge/Senior Advisor, SVN Peace & Company, Myrtle Beach, SC, recently received the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation from CCIM Institute. The designation was awarded during this year's fall CCIM Comprehensive Exam testing session, which was held in Chicago.
Marek was among the 157 commercial real estate professionals who earned the designation by passing the CCIM Institute's comprehensive examination, the capstone element in the designation process. This new group of CCIM designees hails from 40 U.S. states, Canada, and Guam.
"For those who earn the CCIM designation, like this newest crop of designees, it is a career-defining moment," says Leslie G. Callahan III, CCIM, 2022 global president of CCIM Institute. "CCIM designees have remained synonymous with the most advanced commercial real estate investment specialists for more than half a century, with good reason. Individuals and corporate clients rely on CCIMs to minimize risk, maximize ROI, and optimize real estate value."
Marek lauds the CCIM institute for providing "the foundation for intelligent decision-making through in-depth strategic analysis." He shares that the designation demonstrates "that you take your career as a commercial real estate broker seriously and that you are willing to spend the time, energy, and money it takes to become their best advisor on the acquisition, leasing, and disposition of their commercial portfolios."
To earn the CCIM designation, commercial real estate professionals must complete more than 160 hours of case-study-driven education covering topics such as interest-based negotiation, financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, investment analysis, and ethics in commercial investment real estate. Candidates must also compile a portfolio demonstrating the depth of their commercial real estate experience and pass a comprehensive examination.
Before building a career in real estate, Marek served as an executive officer of the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors. After a successful entry into real estate with Century 21 and Weichert Realty in San Diego, California, Marek brought his entrepreneurial and investing experience to the new SVN franchise in South Carolina. He has recently been honored as Realtor of Distinction for achieving the top 10% of agent sales for 2021, an award he previously earned in 2018 and 2019. Marek was also presented with the Commercial Agent of the Year by Berkshire Hathaway in 2018 and 2019.
