CHICAGO | At NAI Hiffman, success can be measured by the raw numbers, as the firm has become the largest full-service, privately owned real estate services firm in the Midwest with more than 26 million square feet under management.
However, for principals at the firm, it is not the statistics that they point to first, but rather the office culture and employee retention rate.

“We tend not to lose our brokers,” says Dennis Hiffman, chairman and CEO. “Most people spend their entire career here. We have a lot of longevity. There is a strong mentoring program and we really want new hires to fit into the culture.”
