Sources for Market Research Data
I'd like to create a competitive analysis matrix of commercial real estate companies ( CBRE, JLL, Colliers, ...) that ranks each of them by market size and number of offices in a variety of different US regions. Is there a commercial database that could help with this, or is this something that needs to be determined by manually reviewing website information for each company?
