RE/MAX Chairman Dave Liniger to Headline CCIM Fall Conference
The 2013 CCIM Live! event features commercial real estate networking and market insights.
CHICAGO, July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The CCIM Institute, the world's largest network of commercial real estate professionals, is pleased to announce Dave Liniger, co-founder and chariman of RE/MAX LLC, will kick off the 2013 CCIM Live! conference in Denver on Oct. 25. Headquartered in Chicago, the Institute confers the CCIM designation, commercial real estate's global standard for professional achievement.
As one of the housing industry's most authoritative resources, Liniger will share insights on how the the single-family housing market recovery is creating positive momentum in the commercial real estate sector. He'll examine how the U.S. economy as well as consumer, business, and demographic trends are impacting the pace of the commercial real estate market's rebound.
"As the millennial generation comes of home-buying age, they will have an influence in many ways," Liniger says. "Many of these young people want to be where the action is, so they are renting and buying in urban areas. This is already increasing demand for apartments and condos in many central business districts. It's also changing the way many new developments are being designed, and where residential goes retail will quickly follow."
Liniger will also reflect upon his recovery from a life-threatening illness, which inspired his New York Times best-seller, My Next Step: An Extraordinary Journey of Healing and Hope. Similar to the obstacles many commercial real estate industry professionals have faced in recent years, Liniger's book was written to "inspire others facing difficult challenges in their lives."
Other CCIM Live! highlights include:
- financing in the current economic and lending climate;
- minimizing tax burden under new and impending federal tax policy changes;
- understanding the impacts of commercial real estate market cycles;
