In August 2008, Jay earned the coveted CCIM designation. A Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. Only 6% of the estimated 150,000 commercial real estate practitioners nationwide hold the CCIM designation, which reflects not only the caliber of the program, but also why it is one of the most coveted and respected designations in the industry.

In May 2010, Jay earned the SIOR Designation as an Office Specialist.

Only the industry’s top professionals qualify for the SIOR. Today there are 3,000 SIOR members in 580 markets in 26 countries. The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) is a global organization that certifies commercial real estate providers.

Individuals who earn SIOR Designation adhere to the highest levels of experience, accountability and ethical standards.
