Just next door to the Big Apple, New Jersey's commercial realestate sector does very well for itself, with billions of feet ofoffice, industrial, retail and multifamily space. The brokers thathandle leasing and sales in the diverse market also do a good jobof holding their own—if deals closed in the state this past yearare any indication. The editors of Real Estate Forum took stock ofthe brokers who were responsible for these transactions todetermine the most active dealmakers in the market, presented herealphabetically.

METHODOLOGY: Deal information is for commissionable transactionsclosed in Greater New York between August 1, 2011 and July 31,2012, and all data shown has been supplied and verified by thecompanies themselves. Leasing brokers were given scores based onthe total number of transactions they closed, the total squarefootage of all transactions and their total value. The final scorewill be based on the average of the three fields. The investmentsales brokers were scored on total number of transactions closedand total sales volume, with the final score based on the averageof those two figures.
