The 2023 list of commercial real estate brokerage firms is open to firms with offices in the Austin area. The list tracks client deals in the Austin area handled by local brokerage operations during 2022. Rank is determined by the combined transaction values of sales and leases for commercial buildings, multifamily properties, pad site and acreage. Data is gathered from ABJ surveys sent to company representatives. Only firms that responded to request for information and disclosed ranking data are considered for the list. Tracking 2022, the top 25 listmakers this year closed $23 billion in sales and lease transactions. This is up from $21.2 billion the year before. Of the $23 billion total, sales in 2022 accounted for almost $14.04 billion with 62 million s.f. changing hands. Although the dollar value stayed about the same from the year before, the amount of s.f. sold increased to 62 million s.f., up from 43 million s.f. Leases signed during 2022 brought in more dollars despite slightly lower s.f. totals with close to $9 billion in transactions across 39.3 million s.f. Last year listmakers reported $7.5 billion in leases across 42 million s.f.
