From REAL Trends President Steve Murray, and Vice President Scott Wright: “Thank you to the leadership teams of the firms that took the time to submit their surveys. Special thanks to the leadership of the leading national real estate organizations who supported us in numerous ways by encouraging their affiliated member firms to share their results. Without this kind of support, this report would not be possible.”
