You actually have to donate $5,000 to Wall Street Oasis every time you ask about ranking things in the real estate forum. 

I'm sorry, but I don't make the rules.

There is not.  The market is too fragmented for that kind of ranking anyway - the best in New York might not even exist in California.

For brokerage, you can go by sales volume, or headcount, etc and get an okay idea.  A good rule of thumb is that the less risk an industry takes, the more likely you are to be able to "rank" the firms within it, because the only thing they can hang their hat to differentiate themselves from their (effectively identical) competitors is some sort of league table.

In terms of prestige on the sell side, Eastdil by far is the top in the US and EMEA I'd say. Just look at it in terms of deal volume, types of deals, consistency to produce, and their junior hires. They get talent from the top schools, pay very well regardless of any one specific broker's under/performance, and have fantastic extis.
And no, I don't work at Eastdil lol I'm in buyside but wanted to give my perspective for anyone interested.

 

I would disagree. REIB is so market dependent and team dependent that it just doesn’t make sense to have a discussion about it. For example, Eastdil’s office team in NYC absolutely cranks while Adam Spies’s Cushman and Wakefield team crushes it too. JLL’s Cap Markets group absolutely kills it in many markets. Analysts IN Spies’s group and major markets for JLL will also recruit from top schools and tend to pay incredibly well (100k+ AN1)
