There are so many tiny/regional shops you'd prob have to restrict it the the "MF" equivalent type places (i.e. The CBRE/BX/TCC/Eastdil's of the world)
Anyone going to tell him that at re we do NOT rank ourselves like the monkeys at IB? We’re much more chill than that
Part of what’s cool about RE is we don’t do this
Bellwether AM > Everything else
Debate me
Why tho
Because their name rolls off the tongue
I think they're pretty good.
Fun to shit on AM around here, but it's a way more important part of the business that being some acquisitions analyst.
So is property managment
You gonna go all in?
Not doing a tier list or ranking firms but I'd argue that all of these are in whatever the "top" tier is across sectors. Obviously there are others that should be included too, but I think most would agree these are among the best,
BX, Carlyle, Brookfield, Related, TCC, Hines, Crow Holdings, Tishman, Starwood, Lincoln, and then Eastdil/CBRE/JLL if you want to include brokers.
Once you throw in regional/more specialized shops it gets too confusing. I also know there are other large firms I didn't include (greystar for ex) but I think most would consider them a step down from whatever "S tier" is.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO TIERS FAM
