CBRE Group

CBRE Group is a commercial real estate services investment firm. The company offers a full range of services to occupiers, owners, lenders and investors in office, retail, industrial, multifamily and other types of the commercial real estate. Its business is focused on several competencies, including commercial property, corporate facilities, project and transaction management, tenant and occupier, and property and agency leasing, capital markets services (property sales, commercial mortgage origination, sales and servicing, and structured finance), real estate investment management, valuation, development services and proprietary research. It generates revenues from both management fees (large multi-year portfolio and per-project contracts) and from commissions on transactions. CBRE's contractual, fee-for-services businesses generally involve property and facilities management, mortgage loan servicing, investment management and appraisal or valuation. The company historically has made significant use of strategic acquisitions to add new service competencies, to increase the scale within existing competencies and to expand its presence in various geographic regions around the world.
