The best way to learn is to teach. I have been teaching for the CCIM Institute for 35 years, and it has accelerated my knowledge of commercial real estate more than I ever could have imagined. In this time, I have witnessed the non-existence of commercial real estate (CRE) education, and seen what CRE education has grown to. As a CCIM instructor, I have had the opportunity to travel around the world, and the chance to spend time with incredible colleagues and students.
