Abstract

Using a sample of CCIM designees and candidates in an experimental setting, this study examines the impact of broker signaling in commercial real estate transactions. It also explores the effect of certainty of closure in commercial real estate transactions. Findings suggest brokers are able to influence transaction pricing. Moreover, detailed analysis reveals that when a signal is above a reference point implied by previous transactions, the strength of the signal matters; privately communicated signals from reliable sources have significantly greater impact than signals which are made widely available. Additionally, we find an approximately 10% premium in transactions with lower certainty of closure than one with high certainty. The latter result varies by transactional participant type; owner/developers require a larger premium than institutional sellers.

Fußnoten
1
To be eligible for the CCIM designation a person must take a series of advanced courses, pass a full-day exam, and document substantial commercial real estate experience.
 
2
Zietz and Sirmans (2011) provide a detailed review of residential brokerage research from 1999.
 
3
The authors recognize that larger deals may use lower percentages and some brokers may work off fixed fees. No legal framework for fee structure exists.
 
4
The issue of pricing is also examined in the residential sector by Beracha and Seiler (2014).
 
5
Multiple authors of this paper have either held the CCIM designation or been affiliate members of CCIM chapters through industries like banking. The personal experiences of the authors also corroborate the evidence from interviews of CCIM leadership.
 
6
In addition, we independently contacted large national brokerages, small boutique firms, and the CCIM Institute directly and all confirm that the level of broker participation in CRE transactions as principals is high.
 
7
Our software automatically populates “X,” the cap rate, depending on the exact treatment to which the subject was randomly assigned.
 
8
Similarly, our software calculates in real time the cap rate that corresponds to the price the respondent enters as they type their answer.
 
9
Again, the cap rate is provided synchronously as the subject types in his answer.
