“It’s an honor to be recognized among the top commercial brokers in the country,” said Cox. “Adding Crexi to our arsenal of tools has helped my team put our clients in a better position by fully exposing our properties to the market.”

To be recognized as a Platinum Broker, Crexi users must land in the top percentage of brokers using the platform. Cox, among other winners, are being recognized for their exceptionally high engagement, high property search score, use and knowledge of Crexi’s marketing portal, deals closed on Crexi, as well as a healthy number of leads per listing, total listings, and total value. Brokers are recognized based on three focuses – sale, lease and auction. Winners from the sale and lease categories span hospitality, industrial, land, multifamily, office, retail, restaurant, and special purpose sectors, while the auction category spotlights top performers overall.

“This program is our way of acknowledging our broker partners who continue to make an impact and find success across sales, lease, and auction functions,” stated Mike DeGiorgio, founder and CEO of Crexi. “We celebrate our brokers– today and every day. Their wins are our wins, and we all succeed together.”

This award program goes beyond property volume and total value sold, taking into account platform activity, search scores, leads, and more. The Platinum Broker Awards’ model levels the playing field, allowing all brokers, regardless of business size, to be recognized as a top performer.

This year’s list includes 1,000 Platinum Brokers who each received a glassical award and an exclusive badge on their Crexi profile recognizing them as a Platinum Broker identifying them as a Crexi expert to clients and colleagues.
