Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Jobs at CBRE Jobs
Frame your real estate credentials for U.S. standards
CBRE's Business Development roles often require demonstrated client relationship experience in commercial real estate markets. If your credentials come from outside the U.S., document comparable deal experience, licensing equivalencies, and any cross-border transaction work before you apply.
Target CBRE's service line hiring cycles
CBRE typically backfills Business Development roles by service line, such as Advisory, Capital Markets, or Industrial. Monitoring postings by division rather than by job title alone surfaces openings before they're widely circulated and signals which teams are actively growing headcount.
Clarify TN eligibility before accepting a Business Development offer
Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify for a TN visa under the Management Consultant or Economist category for certain Business Development roles at CBRE. Confirm the specific job duties align with a qualifying TN profession before the offer letter is drafted.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open Business Development roles at CBRE
Migrate Mate filters CBRE's open positions by visa sponsorship type, so you can focus on Business Development roles where your specific visa category is already supported rather than applying broadly and asking about sponsorship after the fact.
Request LCA certification before your start date
For H-1B transfers or new H-1B petitions, CBRE's legal team must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before USCIS can process your petition. Confirm with your recruiter that the LCA timeline is built into your projected start date, not treated as a post-offer formality.
Align your PERM timing with Business Development role stability
PERM requires the sponsoring role to be a permanent, full-time position. Business Development roles at CBRE tied to specific project pipelines or client accounts can raise PERM integrity questions. Confirm with your hiring manager that the position is ongoing before PERM is initiated.

Find Business Development at CBRE JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does CBRE sponsor H-1B visas for Business Development roles?
Yes, CBRE sponsors H-1B visas for Business Development positions. The company works with immigration counsel to file H-1B petitions and Labor Condition Applications through DOL. If you're already on H-1B with another employer, CBRE can file an H-1B transfer, which allows you to start working once USCIS receives the petition under portability rules.
How do I apply for Business Development jobs at CBRE?
Applications go through CBRE's careers portal, where you can filter by job function and location. Before applying, confirm the posting aligns with your visa category, since not every Business Development opening at CBRE is tied to active sponsorship. Migrate Mate lists CBRE's open Business Development roles filtered by visa sponsorship type, which makes it easier to identify the right positions upfront.
Which visa types does CBRE commonly use for Business Development professionals?
CBRE sponsors a range of visa types for Business Development roles, including H-1B, H-1B1 for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying categories, F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, and J-1 for exchange visitors. For candidates pursuing permanent residence, CBRE supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does CBRE expect for Business Development roles?
Most Business Development positions at CBRE require a bachelor's degree in business, finance, real estate, or a related field, along with demonstrated experience in client acquisition, relationship management, or commercial real estate transactions. Senior roles typically expect familiarity with specific service lines such as Capital Markets, Advisory and Transaction Services, or Industrial and Logistics. Relevant licensure strengthens your application in most U.S. markets.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a CBRE Business Development role?
Timeline depends on visa type. H-1B transfers can allow you to start quickly under USCIS portability once the petition is received. New H-1B cap-subject petitions follow the annual lottery with an October 1 start date. TN status for eligible nationals can be obtained at a port of entry in a single day. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship typically takes two or more years from initiation to approval, depending on your priority date and country of birth.
