Bill Eshenbaugh Honored by the CCIM Institute Foundation for
Lifetime Achievement and a Scholarship Honoring His Late Brother
Tampa, FL, October 14, 2026 – Eshenbaugh Land Company is proud to announce that founder Bill Eshenbaugh, ALC, CCIM, has been recognized by the CCIM Institute Foundation, which presented him with a plaque honoring his “outstanding lifetime achievements and contributions” to the commercial real estate profession. The recognition also celebrates a scholarship endowment Bill established through the Foundation in memory of his late brother, John Eshenbaugh.
The CCIM Institute Foundation supports the future of the commercial real estate industry by helping aspiring CCIM candidates fund the education and coursework needed to earn their designation. The endowment created in John’s honor will carry his memory forward by investing in the next generation of commercial real estate professionals.
John Eshenbaugh served with the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division — the “Screaming Eagles” — in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968, where he was awarded two Purple Hearts for wounds received in combat and the Bronze Star. He passed away in a car accident in October 1971.
“This recognition is a tremendous honor, but what means the most to me is keeping my brother John’s memory alive,” said Bill Eshenbaugh. “He gave so much for his country, and this scholarship allows his legacy to help others build their own futures. In the photo, John is pictured behind me, and I wear the 101st Airborne cap with great pride.”
