Our Process

CBRE’s research group is second to none. The resources that have been put into assembling and analyzing local, regional, national and global market data are extensive and cutting-edge, which is why we are considered a market leader in this arena. The benefit to our clients ensures they are armed with the best “real time” market data available which in turn allows them to make informed decisions.

Prior to the execution of any assignment, we make sure that we fully understand the reasons behind the decision, the decision makers and external factors that may impact the end result. By gathering this information in advance, we are able to ensure that we are “in-sync” with the client. This is an important step in every assignment as it drives the rest of the process.

For every assignment, there needs to be a clearly defined path with contingency plans to counter potential changes that may occur. It is important to have a custom designed strategy in place that ends with an achieved goal. This strategy should start with the end in mind.

CBRE is effectively an outsourced real estate advisor. We cannot and do not make decisions on behalf of our clients. However, we are able to put ourselves in your shoes and as a result, are able to provide important counseling and advice based on what we would do in your position understanding the market as we do.

With a global employee roster of over 29,000 we have a very strong "bench". One of our greatest strengths is as an integrator as we often recommend collaboration with any number of on staff experts. These range from mortgage and finance experts to appraisal, design and development, property or facilities management, network design and alternative energy initiatives.

A critical part of the transaction process involves contract negotiation. As the contract forms the basis for all of the previous and future planning, it is essential to have seasoned professionals review and advise on many of the intricacies involved. Proper execution of this phase in the process will minimize problems in the future.

Once a transaction has been finalized, we are still here to answer any questions or assist with loose ends. Our goal once the transaction is over, is to become your preferred real estate service provider.
