CCIM New Center Press Release
Posted June 2nd 2015
Commercial
real estate is booming in Ghana,
a nation of 27 million people with a strong cultural heritage, plentiful
resources, and a stable government along the west coast of Africa.
Many corporations, such as General Electric, Caterpillar, and
PricewaterhouseCoopers, are setting up headquarters in Accra, Ghana.
As a
result, the demand for training in commercial real estate has grown
exponentially. To remedy this shortfall, CCIM introduced the online course
“Foundations for Success in Commercial Real Estate” in five increments of two
hours each from June 15 to 24 in Accra
for commercial real estate brokers, developers, attorneys, and investors.
“Ghana is an ideal location in Africa to start
CCIM courses because the training will improve CRE professionals’ business
and enhance their markets,” says Vicky Sampah, MBA, MSRE, managing broker at
L’ABRI Realty in Aurora, Ill., who is sponsoring the CCIM pilot
course. “Starting in Ghana,
we are building credibility for the CCIM courses in West
Africa.”
West
African nations have swiftly become new emerging markets. Ghana is
perfectly situated to captivate the region, according to Emiola Dosunmu, CCIM
international operations manager. Once the word spreads about CCIM courses
from participants in Ghana,
Dosunmu expects commercial real estate professionals from Lagos,
Nigeria, and Kenya will be
eager to sign on.
“We
live in a global village, and commercial real estate, especially, is more
global now than local,” Sampah says. “The CCIM Institute is the right
organization with the right training in commercial real estate for
professionals in Ghana
who need practical education. ”
