Commercial real estate brokers: ranked by value of property sales and leases in the greater San Fernando Valley.

THE TRENDS

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

WHILE 2007 was a fairly busy year for commercial brokerages, the perennial top two on the list, Marcus & Millichap and CB Richard Ellis, saw the value of their deals drop nearly $1 billion, combined.

On the other

hand, NAI Capital, moving up two spots from last year to take the bronze, took up the slack, increasing their take by just about the same margin.

"We opened up an office in the Santa Clarita Valley, so that added to our revenue," said Valley-headquartered NAI Chairman Mike Zugsmith, "and we added a significant number of experienced, productive brokers."

Two new entities joined the list this year. Coldwell Banker Commercial North County was founded in November 2006 by three brokers who decided to strike out on their own after CB Richard Ellis merged its Glendale and Sherman Oaks offices into the Universal City location.

Centers Business Management (CBM) debuted on the list this year in the 19th spot.
