That depends on your definition of real estate investment banking. Cushman and Wakefield is a regular brokerage. They have a capital markets division, just like CBRE, JLL, etch, and structure debt and equity. Pretty vanilla stuff and not what I would consider REIB.

 

They can't handle corporate level advisory.

Investment brokerage probably involves selling large assets or portfolios (greater than $10M) to institutional clients.

A bad group in a smaller city might call themselves REIB, but are selling $2M assets to private investors. Do not work on one of those sh**ty teams.

Occasionally some teams have mortgage brokerage as well, usually calling themselves debt capital markets. It is all a big farce, but some of the good teams in larger cities do have good deal flow and you could learn a lot, which is why I say pick the team carefully.

 
Robert Goulet:

Specifically, I am curious about the "corporate finance & Investment Banking" group, based in NYC. Anyone have knowledge about this team?

Maybe I was wrong. That particular group, at the very least, claims to be a true investment banking platform.

I have still never, ever seen them on an IPO or SEO. As far as M&A, I don't recall ever seeing them on a list like this: http://www.realert.com/ranking.php?rid=297 or http://www.realert.com/ranking.php?rid=232
