CALABASAS, CALIF. — Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI) reported total revenues of $117.4 million in the second quarter, compared with $209.6 million during the same period a year ago, a 44 percent decrease, according to the company’s latest quarterly results released Thursday. The precipitous drop in revenue resulted in net income of $106,000 for the second quarter that ended June 30, compared with $21.3 million for the same period in 2019. The decline in total revenues was driven by the decrease in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenues due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, the earnings release stated. “The health crisis and economic shutdown resulted in major market disruption during the second quarter with an estimated decline of roughly 60 percent in market transactions,” explained Hessam Nadji, president and CEO of the Calabasas-based firm. “Our team worked extremely hard to take care of our clients’ needs in a difficult environment, which resulted in 1,075 closed brokerage transactions.” Nadji added that the company’s long-term focus is on the continued hiring of experienced agents, investments in technology and strategic acquisitions. “We are positioning MMI to lead an eventual recovery in real estate transactions facilitated by record-low interest rates and …

LOS ANGELES — CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE: CBRE) released its financial results for the second quarter, ending June 30, showing a six percent decline in revenue, down to $5.4 billion from $5.7 billion in second-quarter 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted second-quarter results across all major markets, including CBRE spending $25 million in COVID-related costs and a $16 million donation to a COVID relief fund. “The overall impact [of COVID-19] was cushioned by our diverse business mix, particularly the sustained growth of our contractual business over the past decade,” says Bob Sulentic, president and chief executive officer of the Los Angeles-based commercial real estate services firm. “We also benefited from early moves to reduce our expense base, a process that is continuing, and strengthen our financial position and cash-flow generation despite the ongoing challenges from the pandemic.” Across the company’s advisory services, the second-quarter report shows that leasing contracted 43 percent in the United States and property sales fell 51 percent. However, loan servicing revenue increased 15 percent, partially offsetting more cyclical business lines. On the real estate investment front, the second quarter adjusted revenue was $154 million compared to $169 million in second quarter 2019. CBRE’s global workplace solutions fee …
