TUCSON, ARIZ.  (Dec. 19, 2022) –  Trend Report is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022 Best-in-Class Broker® Awards, recognizing those professionals who perform at the highest levels in commercial real estate sales per category.

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.

“Trend Report shares a close association with Real Estate Daily News and RED Comps, as the most accurate, independently researched database of commercial real estate property sales information available in Southern Arizona, so is well-positioned to identify the top brokers in each commercial category,” said Karen Schutte, co-founder and CEO of RED Comps and Managing Editor of Trend Report. “We congratulate these exceptional Southern Arizona industry leaders on their achievements.”

The RED Comps’ research team verifies and records all commercial real estate sales in Pima County. From that information, Trend Report is able to present the “no-nonsense” Best-in-Class Broker Awards to those individuals who closed the highest overall transaction volumes in commercial property sales for each market category in a given year. This year’s awards were calculated from Q4 2021 to Q3 2022 to bring a full year of sales.

Southern Arizona witnessed a very active year in 2022 in the commercial real estate market. Winners of the exclusive Best-in-Class Broker Awards saw industrial sales at their highest levels in years with a decline in the vacancy rate to 3.6 percent. 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.
