Friedman Real Estate
Friedman Real Estate is a commercial real estate firm headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan that sells, leases, manages, builds and finances commercial property. Its stated aim is to be a single point of contact across brokerage, commercial and multifamily management, construction and design, mortgage banking and receivership.
Brokerage covers tenant representation, landlord work, broker opinion of value, due diligence and asset and portfolio evaluation. Commercial mortgage banking covers loan origination, loan servicing, investment advisory and equity placement. Two operating companies sit alongside: Friedman Facilities Services, a third-party provider with in-house roving maintenance staff, a fully staffed internal call center and the cloud-based Fyxt system for creating and tracking work orders; and Friedman Mechanical, which does HVAC repair, preventative maintenance, design/build and installation plus commercial plumbing and electrical work, and which states over 35 years in business.
The homepage reports the scale of each line: brokerage with 600 listings, $22.5 billion in transactions and 50 associates; commercial management with 104 properties, 13 states and 23 million square feet; multifamily management with 104 communities, 49 markets and 21,000+ units; and construction and design with 825,000 square feet constructed in 2024. The commercial management page describes the firm as managing property across markets throughout the United States, and lists technology including smart locks, wi-fi surveillance, building automation and CRM platforms.
The site describes national coverage rather than a defined state list, and publishes no fee schedule for management or construction work. Contact is 888.848.1671 at the Farmington Hills headquarters.
