2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
Office landlords in the Philadelphia region should compare how brokers would position the actual building, not just how they describe the market. CBRE’s Q3 2026 report points to a divide between prime-building demand and broader occupancy weakness. CBRE: Philadelphia office Q3 2026, October 6 This 2027 guide selects The Flynn Company, NAI Mertz and CBRE for documented owner-side office work. Each earns a different place in a proposal competition under the nine firm criteria.
How we rank commercial real estate brokerage firms in Philadelphia–Camden–Vineland, PA–NJ–DE–MD
Our 2027 ranking uses the same nine-part methodology as our 2026 guides. We compare local specialists with regional and national firms using current public sources, verified service geography and relevant specialization in office leasing for landlords. We evaluate each candidate using these nine criteria:
- Experience and reputation
- Market knowledge and specialization
- Network and connections
- Technological capabilities
- Data transparency and accuracy
- Online presence and digital marketing
- Local and global reach
- Service range
- Innovation and customer focus
Using these criteria, we identify one #1 editorial recommendation for the assignment described below and compare other qualified options. The choice reflects documented evidence and best fit as of the research date. Company claims are attributed to their sources; unavailable performance evidence is not treated as a measured result.

The Flynn Company — local office leasing with building context
Flynn expressly offers landlord brokerage in the greater Philadelphia region, including office properties. The Flynn Company: sales and leasing Its management/accounting service also describes construction and maintenance coordination. The Flynn Company: management and accounting We include it where leasing choices are closely tied to building delivery or operating decisions. Ask the team to distinguish the leasing campaign from any additional management or construction work, with a named person accountable for keeping those workstreams aligned.
NAI Mertz — suburban PA/NJ office property representation
The firm’s office service identifies property representation, marketing and financial analysis, with specific Southern New Jersey and Bucks County coverage. NAI Mertz: office services and territory We select NAI Mertz for an owner seeking a regional proposal in those markets. Ask how the building’s parking, access, configuration and amenities affect its realistic tenant audience. A broad availability campaign should follow that assessment rather than substitute for it.
CBRE — Philadelphia office-owner assignments
LiVecchi’s current biography documents office landlord representation and names 1735 Market Street as an owner-side assignment. CBRE: Anthony LiVecchi We would compare CBRE for a Philadelphia owner seeking a team with that documented agency experience. Ask which aspects of the example are relevant to your property and which reflect a different location, building tier or capital program. Confirm the proposed personnel and any competing landlord appointments.
Require a reasoned leasing plan
Provide finalists with verified space plans, delivery conditions, capital limits and existing tenant obligations. Ask for the target tenant sizes, the most relevant competing buildings and a campaign calendar. The proposal should identify what can be marketed now and what remains conditional on owner work. Require a regular report that turns tour feedback into specific decisions rather than simply listing the number of calls made.
Compare service fit without invented scores
No reviewed source provides a uniform audited comparison of these firms’ achieved rents, downtime or marketing conversion. Our recommendations therefore rest on documented services and local relevance. Ask owners of comparable buildings about the actual team’s follow-through, data quality and reporting. Where a property lies in Delaware or Maryland, verify local execution separately. A useful final appointment defines the approvals, reporting and conflict procedures needed to judge the campaign as it proceeds.
