The goal of this course is to show students how to answer the question: "Is it time for my client to buy their own building?" Companies tend to jump straight to the financial reasons that they should buy, and very often they do so to their detriment. In this course we will discuss the financial and non-financial issues involved, as well as the key milestones of the purchase process.

Ed Riggins, SIOR, CCIM | Riggo & Company
Known simply as "Riggo" to the thousands who have laughed and learned while attending his programs, Ed Riggins has had a career that proves you can enjoy serious success without taking it all too seriously. He learned from doing stand-up comedy that if you want to find the truth, look for the funny. He learned from improv comedy to find the natural flow and go with it. Before becoming a national top producer, being named "Who's Who of Commercial Real Estate" by the Atlanta Business Chronicle and recognized as a "Power Broker" by Costar, Riggo mowed lawns, customized cars, drove a forklift, and was a small engine mechanic, on his way to becoming a first- generation college graduate. Ed is among less than 1% of practitioners nationally to have earned both the SIOR and CCIM designations.
