2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
Our 2027 Boston–Cambridge–Nashua individual shortlist selects Tyler Ewing, Mark Mulvey, Michael Joyce, Douglas Martin and Jonathan Lapat for different types of commercial work. The nine individual criteria focus the comparison on the person’s current role, specialization and execution territory. These selections are editorial recommendations for interviews. They do not turn company biographies into a universal ranking of personal performance.
How we rank individual commercial real estate brokers in Boston–Cambridge–Nashua, MA–NH
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. We evaluate each candidate using these nine criteria:
- Individual experience and professional credibility
- Market knowledge and asset specialization
- Personal network and deal access
- Personal technology and analytical capability
- Data transparency and market accuracy
- Personal brand and digital presence
- Local execution with regional and national perspective
- Service scope at agent level
- Innovation and client-centered strategy
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.

Tyler Ewing — northern Boston and ownership decisions
Hunneman identifies Ewing as executive vice president with a Boston urban-core and northern-suburban focus. Hunneman: Tyler Ewing Its recent 4 Bud Way announcement names him as the buyer’s representative in Nashua. Hunneman: 4 Bud Way acquisition and management, October 2026 We include him for clients assessing a property decision across that northern geography. Ask him to explain the specific asset experience relevant to the brief and how transaction advice will remain distinct from other proposed services.
Mark Mulvey — manufacturing and corporate occupiers
Cresa’s current profile identifies Mulvey as executive managing principal with manufacturing/R&D occupier and portfolio work. Cresa: Mark Mulvey We select him when a local facility decision must fit wider corporate requirements. Ask who will perform fieldwork and how he will coordinate business stakeholders, technical advisers and approvals. The interview should test his proposed method with the client’s actual constraints, rather than relying on broad claims about corporate experience.
Michael Joyce — urban office-owner leasing
CBRE places Joyce on its Urban Leasing team as vice chairman and documents downtown Boston landlord assignments. CBRE: Michael Joyce We include him for an owner seeking a personally identifiable urban office-leasing lead. Request an explanation of the campaign and the role he would retain after appointment. A senior title does not establish how much time any individual will commit to a new assignment.
Douglas Martin — southern New Hampshire execution
Colliers identifies Martin as a vice president and principal in its southern NH brokerage team, with office and industrial expertise. His current profile includes a Nashua office/retail listing. Colliers: Douglas Martin We include him to give the regional shortlist a directly evidenced NH practitioner. Ask for comparable local assignments and a clear account of his personal responsibilities. The location evidence supports an interview, while current availability and property-specific fit still require confirmation.
Jonathan Lapat — retailer representation across the region
Lapat’s SRS biography identifies tenant representation across all six New England states and upstate New York. SRS: Jonathan Lapat We select him for a retailer evaluating a regional expansion brief. Ask which territory he would handle personally and what support the store-search process requires. Confirm existing retailer commitments and potential conflicts before sharing a detailed expansion plan.
Evaluate personal accountability
Give each relevant candidate the same assignment brief and request a sample analysis, communication plan and appropriate references. No public biography independently verifies responsiveness, negotiating outcomes or proprietary access. Choose the adviser whose current specialty matches the work and whose proposal makes the day-to-day responsibilities understandable.
