CBRE Group exceeded market expectations in the last quarter. The world's largest real estate services provider presented figures that positively surprised despite persistently difficult conditions in the real estate market. Specific sales or profit figures were not mentioned in the announcement. The development indicates a robust positioning of the business model, which appears to be less dependent on economic cycles than the transaction market itself. For housing companies, it remains relevant how stable service providers in the valuation and consulting segment can navigate market weakness.
