Lehigh Valley Regional Chair fast-tracks the “MBA of Commercial Real Estate,” joining an elite group representing less than 10 percent of practitioners worldwide.
ALLENTOWN, PA – Feinberg Real Estate Advisors, LLC is proud to announce that commercial real estate advisor Casey Keller officially earned the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation at the organization’s Spring Forum in Philadelphia, PA. With this achievement, Keller and her mentor, Cindy McDonnell Feinberg, CCIM, become the only active mother-daughter women owned CCIM brokerage team serving the Lehigh Valley region.
Earning the designation requires an extensive portfolio of institutional-grade transaction volume and advanced financial analysis coursework. Keller remarkably fast-tracked the rigorous requirements, completing the entire process in under 18 months.
“From the day I joined Feinberg Real Estate Advisors, I knew pursuing the CCIM designation was essential to providing our clients with the highest level of financial and market analysis,” said Casey Keller, CCIM. “Completing this milestone early in my career, especially with the incredible mentorship and support from Cindy, is an honor. Being surrounded by such high-level practitioners is deeply motivating, and I am excited to apply this advanced framework to bring upfront transparency and strategic value to our clients’ investments.”
Keller’s commitment to the organization extends beyond her coursework; she also serves as the 2026 Lehigh Valley Regional Chair for the PA/NJ/DE CCIM Chapter, coordinating educational networking and market strategy events for regional professionals.
“Professionally, Casey stands apart because of her drive to exceed expectations and continually grow within her field,” said Jessi Ayoub, 2026 President of the PA/NJ/DE CCIM Chapter. “She actively pursues opportunities to deepen her expertise, such as earning the CCIM designation early in her career, and applies her knowledge in meaningful ways that directly benefit her clients.”
“Watching Casey tackle the CCIM curriculum with such intense focus and complete it in under 18 months has been incredibly rewarding,” said Cindy McDonnell Feinberg, CCIM, Broker and Owner of Feinberg Real Estate Advisors, LLC. “As her partner and her mother, I am immensely proud of her dedication. Elevating our firm to house the only mother-daughter women owned CCIM team in the region deepens our analytical capabilities and reinforces the foundational pillars of integrity and expertise our clients expect from us.”
