Now more than ever, buyers and sellers need to work with top brokers to get those deals done. This is especially true in a region as vast and varied as Southern California, with its huge inventory of buildings in every property type, from downtown high-rises to massive industrial buildings near the region's ports and in the Inland Empire, along with trophy retail centers, luxury hotel resorts and apartments for every kind of investor.
