Meet Your Instructor:

Clifford Bogart CCIM CRE


Hello. My name is Cliff Bogart and I have been in love with the commercial real estate business since I stumbled into it just over 40 years ago. Every transaction is different; the players, the properties, the issues, obstacles and opportunities to find creative solutions. I obtained my CCIM Designation in 1995 and in 2018 I was invited to become a Counselor of Real Estate - CRE.


I have worked hundreds of transactions of all types from leases (both the tenant and landlord side) investment purchases and sales, 1031 Transactions, and consulting assignments of many types.


I also love teaching. I began writing and teaching commercial courses in 2001 for the State of Texas. In 2005 I began teaching for the CCIM Institute.
