The RCLCO & CEL Real Estate Compensation & Benefits Survey
The national standard for the real estate industry
Since 1989, this annual publication has offered accurate and timely market confidential compensation information to thousands of users. The survey is unmatched depth based upon so many years of comprehensive results.
Previous surveys incorporated over 190 positions and nearly 400 participant companies in the office, industrial, retail, residential, advisory and brokerage/services sectors, including public and private companies engaged in investment, management, development, construction, leasing and many other real estate functions.
Now through the new partnership between RCLCO and CEL, the number and diversity of survey respondents is expected to grow, expanding data accuracy, analysis, and reporting even further.
How the Survey Results Can Benefit You
Typically the survey provides over 500 pages covering compensation trends, benefits, compensation policies, long-term incentive structures, and detailed information/statistical (quartile) breakout of compensation results on a position by position basis stratified by Company Size (employees), Company Type (public and private), Specialization, Region, and Metropolitan Area.
Our compensation survey pairs comprehensive data with our deep understanding of real estate organizations, offering instructional guidance and benchmarking.
