“The CRI exams and designation are a very effective method to determine the depth of commercial real estate knowledge of an individual. Whether they are a job applicant, candidate for advancement or simply desire to self-test, the CRI exams bring objectivity to the evaluation.”

“The industry needs to be able to rely upon a measurable standard of excellence for its real estate professionals. The CRI exams and designation is the ultimate methodology for the industry to use to ensure the full faith and confidence of its practitioners. The first exam (of two), written by industry experts from a content survey by 3,000 senior real estate executives across the industry, measures everything the transactional professional needs to navigate from origination through closing a transaction. The second exam measures not only the ethical content of the practitioner but everything a management professional needs to know to manage a collection of investments in their portfolio. The CRI designation will be the minimum standard of excellence for all the real estate professionals at Cohen Financial.”
