What Horvath & Tremblay does

Horvath & Tremblay is a Boston-headquartered commercial real estate investment brokerage firm operating 17 offices across the United States with nearly 200 brokers and a transaction footprint spanning 44 states. The firm delivers four core service lines: investment sales brokerage (across multi-family, retail, single-tenant net lease, office, industrial, and mixed-use assets), 1031 exchange advisory, capital markets services (debt and equity placement), and appraisal and valuation services through its HT Appraisal subsidiary. Its customer base is primarily private investors, developers, and institutional clients acquiring or disposing of investment real estate, with revenue earned through transaction-based brokerage commissions negotiated per deal.

The firm's go-to-market is a sales-led, relationship-driven model organized around territory-focused advisors who specialize in specific asset classes and geographies, supported by a centralized national technology platform, marketing operations, and a shared database of qualified buyers and investors. The firm has accumulated $10B+ in completed transactions across 3,000+ deals, which functions as both a track record and a data asset for generating repeat and cross-divisional deal flow. Distribution is built on a direct broker network rather than self-service channels, with supplementary top-of-funnel marketing through company website, email, LinkedIn, and industry publications.

Horvath & Tremblay is privately held (Horvath & Tremblay, LLC), founder-led with no disclosed external institutional ownership, and has been actively expanding via acquisition — most notably the June 2026 acquisitions of SCOPE Commercial Real Estate Services (Philadelphia, Mid-Atlantic entry) and B6 Real Estate Advisors. In 2024 it formalized four asset-class divisions and launched HT Appraisal as a wholly-owned valuation subsidiary, signaling a deliberate move from pure-play brokerage into an integrated investment real estate services platform.

Direct peers

• Marcus & Millichap: The closest comparable: a national investment real estate brokerage focused on acquisition and disposition of commercial properties for private and institutional investors, organized by asset type with a sales-led, relationship-driven model very similar to H&T.
• Newmark Group: Public CRE services firm with a sizable investment sales and capital markets platform competing directly with H&T in office, multifamily, and retail investment sales, while also offering debt placement akin to H&T's Capital Markets group.
• Walker & Dunlop: CRE-focused capital markets and multifamily debt originator/broker competing with H&T's Capital Markets and Multi-Family divisions; highly comparable service mix for financing and investment sales in commercial real estate.
• NAI Global: Global CRE services network delivering investment sales, brokerage, and property management through member firms; comparable to H&T's multi-office, multi-asset-class brokerage model with a relationship-driven advisor culture.
• SVN International (Commercial Real Estate): Franchise-style CRE brokerage network offering investment sales across multifamily, retail, office, industrial, and STNL—closely mirroring H&T's specialized product divisions and private-investor focus.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE Group: Global CRE services giant offering investment sales, capital markets, valuation, and advisory across all asset classes; competes with H&T for larger institutional mandates while overshadowing it in scale and global reach.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global full-service CRE platform with capital markets, investment sales, valuation, and advisory capabilities that compete across every H&T service line, particularly for institutional and cross-border transactions.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global CRE services firm with deep capital markets and investment sales capabilities; directly competes for mid- and large-cap investment sales mandates H&T pursues.
• Colliers International: Global CRE services firm with investment sales, capital markets, and valuation services; competes across asset classes and increasingly targets the U.S. mid-market where H&T operates.

Emerging players

• B6 Real Estate Advisors: Specialized CRE investment sales advisory firm recently acquired by H&T (June 2026); operates in a similar mid-market investment sales niche and illustrates the kind of regional/niche peer H&T is consolidating.
