If you are planning on getting your Designation and completing more than one CI class, it is worth becoming a CCIM Candidate.
Our local SAZ Chapter Membership gives you reduced membership rates at our Chapter luncheons and events, free monthly department of real estate credit classes and the opportunity to network with the Tucson area's top real-estate-related professionals.

It's a great place to network where members can exchange ideas, services, commercial properties, prospective buyers, and tenants and help one another solve local and national real estate problems.
