Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation 1.          Basis of Presentation
Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) should refer to the audited financial statements and
notes to consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these
financial statements as “CBRE,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are
included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2025 Annual Report), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and also available on our website (www.cbre.com), since we have omitted from this Quarterly Report
certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You
should also refer to Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2025
Annual Report for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation,
but do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), or
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), for annual financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require management to make
estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts reported in
our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates
and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the current
economic environment, and adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may
differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Beginning with first-quarter 2026 results, we have reclassified amortization associated with MSRs (mortgage servicing
rights) to net against the related revenue (commercial mortgage origination). Historically, we have recognized the
corresponding MSR intangible asset as an amortization expense over the estimated mortgage service period. Our
reclassification aligns the amortization expense with the related revenue stream, reflecting the net amount earned by the
business, and more closely follows standard industry practice. We recognized amortization expense related to MSRs of
$38 million and $76 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $37 million and $72 million for the same
periods in 2025. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2026 presentation.
