September 16, 2015—Euromoney magazine’s 11th annual Real Estate Survey asked real estate advisers, developers, investment managers, corporate end-users and banks worldwide which firms were the best providers of real estate products and services in their market over the past 12 months.
Global overall results
The global overall results saw the same top five advisers remain firm from last year: CBRE came in 1st, followed by JLL, Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield and DTZ. Jumping to 6th place from 10th was PricewaterhouseCoopers. EY and KPMG hung on to 7th and 8th places respectively, while Deloitte slipped to 9th from 6th the previous year. Savills also dropped one place into 10th.
Blackstone led the pack in the overall investment managers’ poll, while Goldman Sachs remained the top-ranked overall bank.
Methodology
The survey was filled in at country level by senior executives, and had two distinct components: Part 1 (Nominations) and Part 2 (Market feedback). In a change from the past, the survey results this year were based only on the peer nominations and voter participation scores (no quantitative data was analyzed).
In Part 1 of the survey, respondents nominated the companies they thought were best, 2nd and 3rd in each category in their country, provided their individual opinions rather than those of their company. A small number of participation points were allocated to the respondent’s own firm for nominations provided for their peers. Global and regional results are weighted aggregates of country results.
In Part 2 of the survey, respondents were asked to provide their views on the latest developments in the market. The responses to these questions were only of editorial interest and were not scored for the rankings.
The full Euromoney Real Estate Survey results are available on the Euromoney magazine Web site for a subscription fee. Headline results were published in the September flagship edition of magazine. The 2015 survey was conducted from March 24 until June 1, 2015, and 1,754 valid responses were received, representing a 10.6% increase on the 1,586 responses received in 2014.
