If the transaction is a lease or other transaction, then the appropriate documentation should be presented so that the details of the transaction can be verified with the Principals. Transactions must be completed within the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The member must have been a representative of the Buyer/Tenant or Seller/Landlord. Referral agent status doesn't qualify.

CLICK ON AWARD NAME TO VIEW APPLICATION THE “AUSTINTATIOUS” AWARD - Awarded for the largest transaction accomplished by a CCIM Designee or Candidate of the Chapter. It is based on the size of the transaction, not the size of the commission. The transaction should be a single closing, even if there are multiple properties. However, a special category may be awarded for a multi-transaction "Tax Deferred Exchange", in which the cumulative amount of all the transactions can be totaled. THE “KEEPIN’ IT WEIRD” AWARD - Presented to the CCIM Designee or Candidate of the Chapter whose transaction took the longest to complete. · For Sales -The length of time in the Title Company will be the basis for determining the winner. However, if the committee so chooses, consideration may be given to a transaction where the same Buyer/Tenant and Seller/Landlord completed the transaction with the same CCIM broker, but where there were interruptions in the progress to completion. · For Leases - The length of time from the initial proposal to the signed lease. The Awards Committee may require evidence of an unbroken chain of negotiations during this period. (For Austintatious and Keepin’ It Weird Awards): If two CCIM Designees and/or Candidates represent each side of the deal, Seller/Landlord or Buyer/Tenant, then, each shall receive the full award. If two or more CCIM Designees represent the same party, Seller/Landlord or Buyer/Tenant, then, the award will be split between them THE “CCIM CONNECTION” AWARD - Awarded for the most transactions between a CCIM Chapter Member and other Central Texas CCM Chapter Members during the preceding calendar year. Transactions may include commercial investment sales, commercial leases, lending, appraisal, surveying, title services, legal services relative to a commercial investment transaction or lease, and other services provided by Central Texas CCIM Chapter Members.
