Survey open now: 2021 DNA of #CRE

Kick off the new year by contributing your expertise and insights to the 2021 DNA of #CRE! For the 6th year in a row, we’re partnering with theBrokerList to conduct the largest survey in the industry.

We need your help to gather this crucial CRE-specific information to provide comprehensive, actionable data to the commercial real estate industry for the year to come.

What is the DNA of #CRE survey?

The DNA of #CRE is the only survey focused on the people in commercial real estate and what they do to be successful. With separate Broker and Marketer surveys conducted each year, the results reveal changes in the industry over time.

Questions center on demographics and brokerage focus to show who makes up CRE; where and how you spend time across the deal cycle to establish best practices; the most valuable resources in CRE; how to promote listings and market a brokerage brand and more.

We’ll also ask about your predictions for the future of commercial real estate, how new technology will affect your business—and what the industry learned from 2020 and COVID-19.

Once the survey closes, the results are pulled together into an infographic that makes it easy to digest and share benchmarks for success metrics and new tactics to try in your brokerage.
