Among the winners are professionals from national real estate powerhouses such as CBRE, Marcus & Millichap, Land Advisors Organization, Cushman & Wakefield, and top brokers of local firms in Southern Arizona, where all are based.

The industry leaders being recognized contributed approximately one-third to the $4.3 billion total commercial sales, a 37.18 percent increase from the same time period a year earlier.
