PHOENIX, ARIZONA – NAI Horizon celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017. It also celebrated its best year since the end of the Great Recession, buoyed by a diverse group of brokers whose transactions totaled more than $320 million.

The broad range of specialties represented in NAI Horizon’s Top Producers of 2017 is a testament to the collective success of professionals from industrial, retail, office, and investment sales. A healthy commercial real estate market allowed these agents to secure the best possible outcomes for their clients.
