The firm is organised into divisions: real estate brokerage, commercial property management, construction through its Huntington Construction arm, development and site selection, financial services covering financing tools, due diligence, government funding and historic tax credits, receivership and distressed asset turnaround, medical real estate, maintenance support, FarbNET, and a tune-up program. Its brokerage draws on the resources of NAI Global.

Founded in 1976, Farbman employs more than 200 people and says it manages more than 35 million square feet of office, retail, and industrial space throughout the Midwest. It lists more than a dozen offices, among them Bingham Farms, Detroit, Southfield, and Troy in Michigan, Chicago, Northbrook, and Elk Grove in Illinois, and Columbus, Ohio. Vendors who want to work with the firm download an Approved Vendor Application, complete it offline, and email it back.

Brokerage fees and management terms are not published. The site also gives two different portfolio figures, more than 35 million square feet on its home and about pages against over 27 million square feet in its FAQ, so confirm current portfolio scale and which office would cover a specific assignment.
