CBRE's Religious Facilities Group of North America is dedicated to providing the highest level of real estate solutions for the religious community.

CBRE’s Religious Facilities Group of North America repeatedly delivers, not only the expertise required to meet the highly specialized real estate needs of religious facilities, but the industry-specific knowledge necessary to guide religious organizations through a myriad of challenges and complexities often associated with property acquisition and disposition.

As the largest commercial real estate provider in the world, CBRE has strategically positioned the Religious Facilities Group to meet all of the real estate needs from the small emerging groups to those of the ultra-large Giga congregations. Our nationwide team of professionals is equipped to locate and negotiate suitable building solutions; assist in providing financing options; and when the transition dictates, pair the acquisition with an appropriate strategic plan.

Since 1999, the Religious Facilities Group (formerly, Church Brokers) has assisted hundreds of religious organizations in their pursuit of facility acquisitions through big box conversions; built-to-suit with entitlements; multiple shared-use facilities; single-use structures; major and conditional use permit challenges; joint venture development projects (with investment partnerships who are dedicated to assisting specific religious organizations) and in many cases, developing ancillary revenue to lower operating costs of facilities; and as circumstances dictate, selling property assets.
