Certified Commercial Leasing Specialist

Certified Commercial Leasing Specialist

The Certified Commercial Leasing Specialist (CCLS) designation gives you the education you need to succeed in commercial real estate.

The CCLS designation will make you more knowledgeable, and help you to get commercial listings, tenants, and clients faster because they see you've earned a specific designation.

Bottom line, you have the prestige and professional standing earned by having the designation and you will make more money!

To Earn The Certified Commercial Leasing Specialist Designation

To earn the designation, you must complete 15 classes and pass a comprehensive final examination. The exam is an open book 200 question comprehensive review that you take at home. It also asks you to “write up a deal” in response to one of 3 specific topics. The essay's purpose is to help you to “pull together” what you have learned from many, if not all, of the classes you have completed. Many graduates have told us that the essay helped them get their “footing” with their own deals, after becoming certified.

The Institute will then provide your Certificate, a license to use the Certified Commercial Leasing Specialist (CCLS) title, the CD containing practical forms that you can use right away in your practice. You will also receive a professional profile webpage that displays your own practice areas and submarkets, so potential clients can find you easily. You can get warm and hot leads as a result. As your practice evolves, you provide us with changes you want on your own webpage (we do the work).
