    About the CCC
    This web site is operated and owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) on behalf of its Canadian Commercial Council members.

    The Canadian Commercial Council (CCC), founded in 1994, represents commercial real estate specialists from Boards and Associations across Canada. The Council provides a strong interactive network for real estate practitioners who specialize in industrial commercial and investment real estate. This can include property management, office or industrial leasing and sales, commercial appraisal, shopping centre management, land development, recreation/resort properties, syndication, investment, finance or professional real estate consulting.

    A REALTOR® who is an CCC member must abide by a high standard of professional conduct and a strict Code of Ethics, optimizing the performance and service the public has a right to expect. A REALTOR® who is a commercial specialist will know comparable prices, neighbourhood trends and commercial market conditions. Their professional negotiating skills will benefit clients and customers.
