DALLAS, Dec. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BBG, a leading national due diligence commercial real estate firm, achieved another year of impressive growth in 2019 as a result of its increased presence in key markets, new and expanded services, and the addition of several high-level executive appointments to its growing team of the industry's best talent, the company announced today.

BBG CEO Chris Roach commented on the firm's stellar growth: "Our aggressive growth strategy produced highly successful outcomes that allowed BBG to retain its leadership role in 2019. The firm's growth also was buoyed by favorable market conditions including a robust U.S. economy, low interest rates, and continued strong investor demand for commercial real estate properties. In the year ahead, we plan to continue offering the high-value services that our clients seek for their complex and diverse needs."

BBG's performance year-over-year growth rate was over 20 percent, which was consistent with prior years. The company currently has 36 offices and more than 400 employees nationwide.

In 2019, BBG expanded its presence in the Northeastern region with the acquisition of New Jersey-based Izenberg Appraisal Associates and the opening of an office in Philadelphia. The company also opened an office in Seattle, which added to existing BBG Northwestern offices in Vancouver, Wash., and Portland, Ore.

BBG also solidified and expanded its litigation support practice in the Northeast with the acquisition of Izenberg Appraisal Associates. That deal followed the firm's December 2018 acquisition of New York City-based Jerome Haims Realty, an appraisal and consulting firm specializing in litigation support.
