What Emory Hill does

Emory Hill Companies is a privately held, full-service commercial and residential real estate firm founded in 1981 in New Castle, Delaware. The company operates through an integrated platform of six divisions: NAI Emory Hill (commercial brokerage, affiliated with NAI Global since 1997); Emory Hill & Company (construction management, design-build, and general contracting); Emory Hill Real Estate Services (commercial and residential property management, plus maintenance); Emory Hill Residential Real Estate (residential brokerage); and Delaware Lock (commercial and residential locksmith). The firm manages 5.8+ million square feet of commercial property and approximately 1,000 residential units, and its construction division has developed more than 15 million square feet of real estate with a cumulative value exceeding $600 million.

The company generates revenue across four primary streams: commission-based commercial brokerage (leasing, sales, investments), professional services fees for construction management, recurring managed-services fees for property management (priced on managed square footage), and contract/hourly maintenance services. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales — a team of 12 brokers and agents serving owners, occupiers, and investors — with channel reach through the NAI Global network of 325+ offices, 5,800+ professionals, and $20 billion in annual transaction volume. Emory Hill serves a diversified Mid-Atlantic client base spanning healthcare, banking, retail, education, government, trades, and multifamily owners, with documented concentration in Delaware and active project flow in Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Day-to-day technology is conventional CRE tooling (Buildout-powered listings, CoStar, LoopNet, CREXi, BizBuySell) with no disclosed AI/ML or proprietary platform assets.
