Oops, you're right.

I've been working on the sites, and somehow the original template got in there.. Need to look at that tomorrow...

Thanks for the heads up.

Troy is right. Often in small markets you will not see the big commercial brokerages - the deals that make sense for them just won't exist (esp. for office brokers). But it depends - a small market that is within reach of a larger market may not have an office of a large national commercial firm, but large commercial brokers from the larger market may be doing deals there - like industrial deals as an example.

Shopping centers are a bit of a different animal. Sometimes you will see a large center in a small market if it has a good regional pull. Also, the brokers that handle the leasing for these centers typically have no need to be local as the center's prospects are national tenants.

By the way...Semper ubi sub ubi.

Is there any statistical data to check the best commercial broker region wise.

One thing to consider is how many offices the leaders have (like CBRE) and what type of markets they are in. If a company is in a city with 2 million rentable SF of commercial space vs. a city with 500 million rentable SF of commercial space, the "leader" is relative.

Many independent firms do well in their markets, but do not have 500 offices across the world. Therefore, they wouldn't be in the running.

Another thing to consider is that working under CBRE costs a considerable chunk of every commission you get, regardless of whether it was a referral or not. Whereas TCN Worldwide only charges on referrals and a base number each year. If you only get to keep 50% of your commissions (before the broker cut), then it might make more sense to go with an independent firm that is well established.

Right now is a tough time to get into commercial, but if you can weather this, you will be VERY successful when the market comes back!

this has apparently been fixed...otherwise I've learned Latin and didn't realize!
