    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand, which is driven by the volume of commercial real estate transactions, is heavily influenced by real estate vacancy rates. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations. Large companies have advantages in performing a full range of services in multiple markets. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing in local markets. Average annual revenue per worker is nearly $250,000 for brokers and agents, but about $125,000 for property managers, reflecting the more labor-intensive nature of property management.
