Deal-Making Pauses After Banner Year<\/h2>\n

By Maddie Winship, Senior Research Analyst, Yardi Matrix<\/p>\n

Commercial real estate was extremely attractive to investors before the pandemic, and will likely continue to draw interest. But the coming months will be telling, since many deals have been put on hold. While the industry grapples with COVID-19\u2019s real estate impacts, our 2020 Most Powerful Brokerage Firms ranking highlights the top firms to watch.<\/p>\n

Our survey respondents reported strong levels of investment sales activity, with a combined volume of nearly $725 billion. CBRE retained its long-standing top position in this year\u2019s ranking, boasting an investment sales volume of $265 billion, up more than 15 percent from the previous year. CBRE\u2019s investment volume was spread out across asset classes, with the highest volume occurring in the office and industrial sectors. CBRE also ranked No. 1 in the leasing category, with 1.6 billion square feet leased in 2019\u2014an increase of more than 25 percent over 2017.<\/p>\n

Newmark Knight Frank and Cushman & Wakefield rounded out the top three in the investment sales ranking with a respective $171 billion and $133 billion in transaction volume. NKF ranked No. 1 in sales\u2014a 23 percent increase in volume from the previous two years (see methodology). Most of its transaction activity occurred in the multifamily and office asset classes and about 52 percent of the firm\u2019s volume came from outside the United States.<\/p>\n

METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CPE-MHN rankings of the Most Powerful Brokerage Firms are based on self-reported data from all firms. We used a weighted formula, considered various factors including a firm\u2019s performance in 2019 and previous years, and reviewed data that reflects investment sales and leasing activity. The rankings represent what we feel is a logical balance between firm growth and market share. Ranking factors are not limited to the data that appear on this page.<\/p>\n
