Wichita real estate investor Colby Sandlian will have a endowed scholarship in his name.
The CCIM Foundation created the scholarship in honor of Sandlian’s longstanding and ongoing contribution to the commercial real estate industry and the Kansas chapter of CCIM, which stands for Certified Commercial Investment Member.
That designation is highly sought after in real estate and denotes someone who is a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry.
The Colby Sandlian CCIM Scholarship was funded by CCIM Foundation and members of the Kansas CCIM Chapter.
The Kansas CCIM Chapter will award an annual recipient $1,000 toward the cost of tuition for one of the four core courses of CCIM Institute, the program through which the CCIM designation is earned.
Sandlian’s career in the commercial investment real estate business spans 50 years. His portfolio includes developing strip centers and service stations in the 1950s and self-storage
facilities in the 1970s. He also has developed various investment properties.
In 2005, Sandlian received the first lifetime achievement award presented through the Kansas CCIM Chapter and the Wichita State University Center for Real Estate.
Colby has been my friend, big brother, business partner and mentor for over 40 years and he truly deserves this and many more real estate and humanitarian awards. The SEC would not be the organization it is today without him and many other deserving pioneers in our profession. I will always cherish the 10 years we taught Broker Estate Building together. Go Colby go, you are number one.
