Is Savills a legit brokerage shop? Been in the CRE game for a while now and never met or heard of anyone from there.
My friend got a job with them and I was just curious about the firm.  I think they're publicly traded but have never seen a listed deal with them before.  I work in the Southeast market primarily so forgive me if they have a larger presence in other regions.
