2013 Southeast Real Estate Business Broker Forecast

SREB Brokers Survey — Page 1 of 2

Dear Commercial Real Estate Broker,

Southeast Real Estate Business is conducting a brief online survey to gauge market conditions throughout the region, and we need your help. This survey should only take a few minutes to complete. Questions range from the outlook for investment sales and leasing activity in 2013 to lease negotiations to interest rates.

We’re also sending separate surveys to finance professionals and owners/developers/managers in the Southeast. The results will be collated and published in our January issue. Conducting these surveys is part of our mission at France Media to provide readers with indispensable information.

Sincerely,

Matt Valley
Editorial Director
Southeast Real Estate Business
