What is a CRI Associate?

FIDUCIARY PARTICIPANT IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT DECISION-MAKING

The CRI Certification is a forward-thinking initiative that seeks to give the public confidence in the professionals and fiduciaries within the commercial real estate industry. Until now, neither individual nor institutional investors had a universally accepted criteria to identify professionals that possessed the combination of knowledge, practical experience, education and ethical standards necessary to lead, transact, and advise.

Preserves the confidentiality of client materials and nonpublic information
Discloses fully to a customer and to a client any material conflict of interest
Acts as a prudent expert in the best interests of a client

The CRI Society awards a CRI Associate a limited revocable right to use the CRI Charter or CRI Associate designation.
