The longer I’m in this business, the more amazed I am at how people sometimes choose the agent who represents them in a major commercial real estate decision.
When selecting a doctor or a contractor to work on their home, most people carefully research their options. Yet, when it comes to the complex world of commercial real estate, the choice is too often made based on convenience—working with a neighbor, friend, or acquaintance—rather than on expertise and qualifications.
But choosing the right broker matters. In commercial real estate, you need more than just relationship. You need proven expertise, trusted integrity, and exceptional results. That’s why hiring an SIOR makes all the difference.
SIOR stands for the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors®, the most prestigious designation in the industry for more than 75 years. With only about 4,000 designees worldwide, SIORs represent the top tier of Office and Industrial real estate professionals.
To earn this distinction, brokers must:
- Complete rigorous educational requirements
- Achieve significant production benchmarks
- Uphold uncompromising ethical standards
Why hire an SIOR?
- Unmatched Market Expertise
SIORs are recognized local market leaders who provide deep insight to guide your real estate decisions. - Specialized Transaction Knowledge
Each SIOR focuses on a specific sector—Office or Industrial—so you work with a broker immersed daily in your property type. - Global Reach, Local Strength
Represented in more than 700 cities across 40 countries, SIORs give you access to a trusted network of professionals wherever your business takes you. - Proven Track Record
SIORs consistently close billions of dollars in sales and leases every year, delivering results that speak for themselves. - Ethics You Can Trust
The rigorous SIOR selection process ensures you’re working with a professional who operates with the highest integrity.
When results matter, hire an SIOR.
