One of the chief benefits of having a member network as diverse and extensive as NAI Global’s is that we get to work with some of the top minds in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. It also means that we have many amazing opportunities to celebrate the accomplishments, awards, and accolades our members achieve. We are reminded every day that we really do work with the “best of the best.”

When it comes to dealing with stakeholders, one of the key skills every commercial real estate professional needs is the ability to convert the complex concepts and calculations we deal with every day into concise, easy-to-understand metrics.

The award is intended to showcase qualities of outstanding leadership, business achievement, and personal growth. In other words: the markers of truly exceptional talent.

A growing trend in recent years has been the increase in the number of people opting to buy or rent properties on their own.
