After another successful year in the Kansas City commercial real estate market, Zimmer Real Estate Services, L.C. has been honored by the CoStar Group with the Power Broker Award. This award is given to the top 10 firms and individual brokers in each market served by CoStar. Zimmer was named to the Power Broker list for both leasing and sales activity in the Kansas City market. This is the eighth consecutive year the firm has been recognized by CoStar for this award. “I’m extremely flattered that the excellent work by our sales staff has been honored yet again by CoStar,” said Zimmer President David J. Zimmer. “Our company has been committed to serving the Kansas City commercial real estate market for more than 60 years. We’re proud to have done our part to help many area businesses continue to achieve success and help shape the economic landscape of Kansas City.” Above, Zimmer Senior Vice President-Principal, Mark C. Long, received individual recognition among industrial leasing brokers in Kansas City.  Also receiving the nod for industrial leasing activity was Zimmer Vice President, John E. Green. “As everyone already knows, this has been one of the toughest years in memory,” Green said. “It’s nice to see our efforts not only paying off, but also being recognized by peers and colleagues.” Each year, CoStar tallies the commercial real estate sale and lease transactions that closed during the previous year and presents CoStar Power Broker Awards to the brokerage firms and individual brokers who closed the highest transaction volume in commercial property sales and leases in each market.
