Chicago (October 14th, 2022) – David Kendall, Managing Director of SVN | Safe Haven Advisors and founding member of SVN Marinas, recently received the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation from CCIM Institute. The designation was awarded during this year’s fall CCIM Comprehensive Exam testing session, which was held in Chicago, IL.
