Dan Naylor, sales associate with Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services, Wilkes-Barre, has been awarded the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation by the CCIM Institute. The designation was awarded during the Institute’s spring business meetings April 25 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Naylor was among the 141 commercial real estate professionals from 34 states, Canada, and Mexico who earned the designation by passing the Institute’s Comprehensive Examination, the final element in the designation process.
