A Message From
2019 FLCCIM Chapter President
Tina Marie Eloian, CCIM


Florida CCIM leaders were recently welcomed to the 
2019 Global Business Summit at Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, Alabama. Being supportive of the Alabama Chapter, Florida CCIM members attended the event. Florida CCIM membership goes beyond the state lines when it comes to business relations, education and networking amongst our fellow CCIMs. A few of us traveled from Florida to Alabama to support chapter members as they were inducted as the President & BOD for a new Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) Chapter  in the State of Alabama.

Furthermore, regarding international relations, the Florida Chapter this year created its first ever Global Alliance task force to represent global affiliation right here in the State of Florida! The Florida CCIM Chapter is presenting its 1st Annual Port Conference coming up October 3rd and 4th, 2019 at the Port in Brevard County. This conference will have industry leaders speaking on " Ports, Rails, Air and Transportation," very important factors in our commercial and residential industry; therefore, being educated on such issues is a huge benefit for our members. The Florida CCIM Chapter has taken on this conference to educate members, affiliates and professionals. Look forward to seeing you at the conference- Save the Date- it's a must attend for our members!

Florida CCIM Commercial Alliance Committee
1st Quarter 2019 in Review 
By Kent Cooper CCIM, Chairman


On behalf of the 2019 Florida CCIM Commercial Alliance Committee, we are pleased to present the following updates.

The committee has sought to communicate with various CCIM Chapters throughout Florida. We have found through conversations with various Chapter presidents and other professional organizations such as SIOR, ORRA, IREM, ULI, NAIOP and NAREIT the commercial practitioner has been busy in 2018.

SIOR Reports: As the fourth quarter of 2018 unfolded and interest rates rose, the market tumbled. Rumbles of a recession began to be heard, attention turning to both the commercial real estate markets and whether or not we had reached an economic peak that would result in another downturn. The response from many SIORs and otherobservers seems to be a resounding "No"-or at least, not yet.



Once again, we have arrived at the time of the year when the  Florida CCIM Chapter must nominate and elect new officers to serve in 2020. I have gained valuable insight into the nomination and election process over the last 3 years as a member of the executive committee and last year as the Vice President of Administration. The VP of Administration is charged with the responsibility for Chapter elections and providing the Institute with the names of the newly elected chapter officers no later than November 1 or 30 days after the date of the elections, whichever comes first.
This birds eye view has allowed me the opportunity to observe first-hand the poor member participation numbers in both the nominating and election process. In spite of the general lack of participation, the Chapter has been blessed with outstanding leadership. I attribute this to the fact that CCIM Designees are the best and brightest in their field of commercial real estate providing an ample pool to draw from. What I do not understand and refuse to accept is the general malaise members display to this critical process, so I am writing today to share details on how our chapter elections work.
Is Artificial Intelligence Overhyped In Real Estate?


A suite of new software applications will ease the leg work of tracking down the next big real estate play, but technological advances still can't replicate a broker's human touch.
"At the end of the day, the big national players are calling you guys," Jason Doyle, CEO of zoning software developer Gridics, said to a group of commercial brokers, lenders and other real estate executives at a CCIM luncheon on Friday. "Brokers are not going away anytime soon," Doyle added.
Doyle was part of a panel discussion that included Paul Cohen, regional director of commercial real estate technology platform Crexi; Joshua Young, CEO of the web-based commercial mortgage lending marketplace Raisal; and Ken Silberling, regional senior vice president for online real estate marketplace Truss.
