Collaborative Leaders Who Bridge Theory and Practice

I met Mr. Hollis in Chicago during the CCIM 101 Course and we were also classmates in CCIM 102 in Atlanta. Chuck, as a student, presented “relevant” Real Estate development analogies that brought the classroom into the workplace. He was also very helpful in assisting struggling students who had difficulty with market and financial analysis case studies during the course programs.

Calm, Professional, and Effective Under Pressure

Chuck impressed me with his ability to remain calm and level headed in the height of the construction boom in Orlando. The controlled chaos that he worked in challenged the best in his field. Chuck was steady, organized, and remained very professional in the fast paced environment. His quick smile and friendly approach quickly disarmed challenging situations. Chucks talents would benefit any team.
