KW Commercial Tampa Bay Aligns with CCIM International to Offer Local Commercial Real Estate Certification Courses Starting January 23rd

Tampa, FL, January 09, 2013 --(PR.com)-- KW Commercial Tampa Bay, the new Keller Williams Realty commercial division in Tampa Bay, has aligned with CCIM International to offer commercial workshops and certification courses. The first one-day commercial workshop will be held on January 23rd at the Keller Williams Realty office located at 3502 Henderson Blvd, Suite 300 in South Tampa.

One of Keller Williams’s primary focuses is training and consulting, and KW Commercial is facilitating this now through an alignment with CCIM International. KW Commercial will host a series of local CCIM training classes enabling commercial certification in a much shorter time span than previously available. The workshops and courses will equip commercial and residential agents with the skills to expand their talents in commercial real estate.

The course schedule began in late October with two residential workshops, led by renowned CCIM instructor Blaine Strickland, equipping residential agents with both financial and investment skill analysis. The classes, specifically designed for residential agents who want to expand their business to investment sales, were held on October 29th in the KW South Tampa office, and on November 27th in the KW St Pete office. The next class will be a one day commercial workshop held at the KW South Tampa office on January 23rd, covering Financial Analysis Tools for Commercial Real Estate, led by Strickland.

KW Commercial Tampa Bay is led by Managing Director Jon Wittner, a 3rd generation native of Tampa with 25 years of commercial real estate experience. “The shifts occurring in the Tampa Bay Commercial industry have created tremendous opportunities and the alignment with CCIM stays true to the founding core principles of Keller Williams Realty, which is dedication to teaching agents and helping them succeed,” stated Wittner.
