The Real Estate Compensation & Benefits Survey is the national standard for the real estate industry. Since 1989, the annual publication has provided accurate and timely compensation resources to thousands of users. No other survey is as comprehensive or offers equivalent depth based upon so many years of results. The Survey incorporates over 190 positions and nearly 400 participant companies in the office, industrial, retail, residential, and advisory sectors, including public and private companies engaged in investment, management, development, construction, leasing and many other real estate functions. The Survey's long-term sponsorship by NAIOP and NAA has ensured its reach to a wide breadth of participating companies. Now through this new partnership, the number of survey respondents is expected to grow, expanding data analytics, benchmarking, and reporting even further. With such comprehensive data and decades of client compensation evaluations, RCLCO and CEL are setting the industry-standard on commercial and residential real estate compensation and talent management best practices. The 2023 survey results will be released later this month. To be notified of its release, please submit your contact information for our notification list here.
