Sector coverage spans multifamily, industrial, office, retail, data center, medical office, senior living, life sciences, hospitality, and land development.

It says over 50% of its recruitment team came out of the commercial real estate industry and reports a 99% placement success rate. It also publishes research on hiring motivators, compensation, relocation, and workforce demographics.
Fees are not published, and the crawled pages do not say whether searches are retained, contingent, or both. Buyers should confirm that directly, along with which office would run a given search.
