The RCLCO & CEL Real Estate Compensation & Benefits Survey

The national standard for the real estate industry

Now in its 35th year, the annual National Real Estate Compensation & Benefits Survey provides over 500 pages covering trends and statistics on compensation benefits within the real estate industry. This year’s edition boasts the most company participants to date, with 435 real estate companies providing data, thus deepening the comprehensive reach of the Survey. With data spanning 263 positions across six sectors of the industry, the Survey offers valuable guidance when benchmarking salaries, bonuses, and benefits.

The 2024 Survey incorporates compensation data from over 153,000 incumbents working in both corporate and on-site positions in the office, industrial, retail, residential – for-sale, residential – rental, and investment management sectors, including public and private companies engaged in investment, management, development, construction, leasing and many other real estate functions. This year’s Survey includes a number of additional questions, positions, and data breakouts. New information includes the separation of office and industrial sectors, the inclusion of the for-sale residential asset class, and detailed data on parental leave policies.

How the Survey Results Can Benefit You

The survey provides over 500 pages covering compensation trends, benefits, compensation policies, long-term incentive structures, and detailed information/statistical breakout of compensation results on a position by position basis stratified by Company Size (employees), Company Type (public and private), Specialization, Region, and Metropolitan Area.

Our compensation survey pairs comprehensive data with our deep understanding of real estate organizations, offering instructional guidance and benchmarking. To see sample pages from last year’s survey to understand the breadth and level of detail provided in the full report, click here.
