FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 3, 1997
CB COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCES KEY CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
ADDS 30 MILLION SQUARE FEET TO CORPORATE FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
COMPLETED JOINT VENTURE EXPANDS MARKET PRESENCE IN NEW ENGLAND
TRADING OF COMPANY SHARES SHIFTING TO NYSE
LOS ANGELES, CA, NOVEMBER 3, 1997-- CB Commercial Real Estate Services Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:CBCG), the world's leading commercial real estate services
provider, today announced that the firm has added 30 million square feet of
corporate facilities to its management services portfolio. This includes new
and expanded assignments for clients such as Columbus, Ohio-based BANC ONE
CORPORATION and Benton Harbor, Michigan-based Whirlpool.
"With leading corporations increasingly focused on their core competencies,
the outsourcing of non-core activities, such as real estate services,
continues to offer CB Commercial significant opportunities for growth and
expansion," said Gary J. Beban, president of CB Commercial's Corporate
Services division. "We are pleased to be helping our clients enhance their
productivity, efficiency and bottom lines through best-of-class facilities
management and real estate process management practices."
In August CB Commercial merged with Koll Real Estate Services, a leader in
the corporate facilities management segment. The combined firm manages a
total facilities portfolio of 85 million square feet and a total property
portfolio of 200 million square feet for a range of corporate, institutional
and government clients.

the company into a market-leading position in New England. The newly formed

With principal offices in Boston, Massachusetts, and Hartford and New Haven,
Connecticut, CBC/Whittier provides a full range of commercial real estate
services, including corporate services, property sales, leasing, management
and appraisal services, throughout New England.
Commenting on the new joint venture and the company's overall growth plans,
CB Commercial Chairman and CEO James J. Didion said, "CB Commercial continues
to pursue a global growth strategy of mergers, acquisitions and strategic
investments to further enhance our ability to provide quality, vertically
integrated commercial real estate services across multiple geographic
markets. Corporate and institutional clients increasingly demand this kind of
service, and we're responding head-on."
CBC/Whittier further enhances the company's industry-leading market position
in terms of revenues, transaction volume, owned-and-operated offices and
employees.
CB COMMERCIAL MOVING STOCK LISTING TO NYSE
Beginning this Friday, November 7, CB Commercial stock will be traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, with a new ticker symbol, "CBG".
"The New York Stock Exchange is the oldest and most well-known equities
market in the country, and it's the best capitalized market in the world."
Didion said. "The exchange offers CB Commercial efficient access to capital,
the opportunity to significantly expand and diversify our shareholder base
and greater worldwide visibility. This is an exciting move for the company
as we continue to grow on all fronts."
The company's market capitalization has more than doubled since CB
Commercial, now traded on NASDAQ, went public in November 1996. The total
market capitalization of CB Commercial now exceeds $1 billion.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 4, 1997
CB COMMERCIAL REPORTS 21% REVENUE GAINS, 23% INCREASE IN
EBITDA FOR THIRD QUARTER
. EPS ON AN ADJUSTED BASIS INCREASES 67% TO $.40
. REORGANIZES INTO THREE BUSINESS UNITS
LOS ANGELES, CA, NOVEMBER 4, 1997-- CB Commercial (NASDAQ:CBCG), the world's
leading commercial real estate services provider, today reported third quarter
consolidated revenue gains of 20.6%, along with 23.4% growth in earnings before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") before one-time
charges. For the quarter, adjusted earnings per share increased 67.0% to $.40
per share, before one-time charges which primarily relate to the combination
with Koll Real Estate Services ("Koll").
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
For the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, consolidated revenues increased
20.6% to $177.5 million versus $147.2 million a year ago. These gains include
approximately one month of Koll revenues. EBITDA increased 23.4% to $20.9
million before one-time charges compared with $16.9 million in 1996. Including
merger-related charges, the company reported a net loss applicable to common
shareholders of $2.9 million, or $.18 per share, versus net income applicable to
common shareholders of $43.8 million, or $3.11 per share, in the comparable
year-ago quarter. Earnings per common share, adjusted to exclude one-time
charges and the effect of a 1996 reduction in tax valuation allowances (which
artificially increased net income and earnings per share), increased 67.0% to
$.40 per share from $.24 per share in 1996.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, consolidated revenues increased
20.1% to $469.5 million versus $390.9 million a year ago. These gains also
reflect one month of Koll revenues. EBITDA before one-time charges advanced
27.6% to $46.2 million, versus $36.2 million for the comparable nine month
period in 1996. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $2.2 million,
or $.15 per share, compared to $45.4 million, or $3.29 per share, in the prior
year period. Earnings per common share, adjusted to exclude one-time charges,
improved 119.4% to $.79 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
on a fully diluted basis.
Both the quarter and nine month adjusted results for 1996 exclude tax valuation
allowance adjustments. The company further noted that total one-time charges of
$16.0 million for 1997 included severance, facilities consolidation, accelerated
amortization and other costs occasioned by the Koll merger and concurrent
refinancing.
KOLL INTEGRATION LARGELY COMPLETE
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James J. Didion said, "We are now operating
as one company, though in fact we began marketing our combined strengths even
before the transaction closed. For instance, we believe our enhanced
competitive position was instrumental in securing the award of more than 30
million square feet of new facilities management contracts over the past three
months." CB Commercial continues to expect annual run rate expense synergies of
more than $12 million from combining the companies, commencing in 1998.
MARKET FACTORS
A strong national economy and strengthening real estate markets helped propel
the company toward its third quarter financial performance. As an example, in
the office space sector, according to preliminary quarterly data from CB
Commercial/Torto Wheaton Research ("CBC/TWR"), the company's Boston-based real
estate econometric analysis and forecasting firm, demand for office space
continues to be high-- a result of positive job creation and generally favorable
economic activity-- and, because the growth of new space has been limited,
average rents are on the rise.
More specifically, according to CBC/TWR, more office space was absorbed in the
third quarter of 1997 than during any period since the third quarter of 1990.
This pushed suburban office vacancy rates on a national basis below 10 percent
for the first time since 1985, with downtown areas improving as well. In the
latest quarter, for example, the office vacancy rate in suburban Los Angeles
dropped by two full percentage points, from 17.9% to 15.9%.
THREE SEPARATE BUSINESSES
With the Koll integration, CB Commercial has restructured into three global
business units to best serve clients, as well as better reflect market
opportunities, and to encourage better investment community
-more-

CB Commercial News Release

understanding of company prospects. The three units are brokerage services,
corporate and institutional management services, and financial services. For
the current quarter, the company will report business segment data in both the
new and old segment formats. Commencing with the fourth quarter, the company
will be reporting only on the new basis.
Didion said, "As we are the world's leading and most vertically integrated
commercial real estate services company, the sheer number of ways we participate
in commercial real estate sometimes makes it difficult for investors to
understand and track all but the largest of our growth opportunities. For
example, our corporate services and property management business, which is
already a market leader, represents a tremendous growth opportunity as the trend
of corporate America's outsourcing of non-core activities continues. Though it
accounts for just over a quarter of the size of our brokerage operation in
revenues, we are currently reinvesting the strong profits generated by the
brokerage business, in people and technology in Corporate Services, to realize
more quickly its growth potential. Similarly, we're investing in people and new
products in a number of financial services sectors, and are poised for continued
growth as market awareness of our capabilities increases. Our goal in the
restructuring is to increase focus on growth opportunities and to breakout more
clearly our progress in each area as the investments begin to pay off."
RELATIVE GAINS
During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, CB Commercial produced revenue
increases of 18.2% in Brokerage Services, which reached $102.8 million, 54.6% in
Corporate and Institutional Management Services, which reached $26.4 million,
and 12.0% in Financial Services, which reached $48.3 million. All benefited
from overall market trends and the competitive advantages generated by CB
Commercial's vertical integration, with each segment pursuing specific
strategies to increase its contribution to consolidated results for the year.
"Strategically," Didion said, "deal flow and cash flow from our brokerage
business are expected to provide meaningful revenue and profit growth, and it
will also provide a strong financial base, and market intelligence contribution
to support the financial services and corporate services businesses. As a
result, we are able to broadly benefit from not only the solid core, but also
the expanding new markets for commercial real estate services."
BROKERAGE SERVICES (58% OF REVENUES; GREW 18%)
Well-known as the company's core business, Brokerage Services (commercial
property sales and leasing) contributed 57.9% to consolidated revenues for the
quarter. The company reported 18.2% higher brokerage revenues versus the third
quarter of last year and 20.8% higher revenues for the nine months as lower
vacancy rates in most of the U.S. caused rents and sales prices to increase.
EBITDA increased 26.6% for the quarter and 50.7% for the nine months.

CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES (15% OF REVENUES; GREW 55%)
Providing a combination of transaction management and advisory services,
property management and facilities management on a regional and national basis,
this division constitutes a "one-stop shop" for major corporate and
institutional clients. Compared to a year-ago, revenues from this unit increased
54.6%, due primarily to the Koll acquisition, to account for 14.9% of total
revenues. As one of the top three players in this segment, CB Commercial manages
approximately 300 million square feet and serves over 50 Fortune 500 clients as
well as hundreds of institutional investors through the two business units that
comprise this division: CB Commercial/Koll Management Services and CB
Commercial/Madison Advisory Group. EBITDA for the quarter advanced 173.2% to
$1.7 million, while segment EBITDA for the nine months was up 18.4% to $3.8
million.
Gary Beban, President of Corporate Services, noted, "While we are pleased with
the way our operations have come together, the full benefits of our integration
are not yet apparent financially. Specifically, our greatest area of
operational overlap was in property management, and we expect the merger to
generate a meaningful portion of the total expense synergies in this area. We
have been and are continuing to invest in our corporate services business, which
has been further pressuring our margins for the near-term, and anticipate these
investments will start to pay-off during 1998."
FINANCIAL SERVICES (27% OF REVENUES; GREW 12%)
CB Commercial's Financial Services division is a market leader in the delivery
of superior financial services and products to Wall Street, institutional,
corporate and offshore investors. Services include investment property sales,
mortgage banking through L.J. Melody & Company, valuation/appraisal, asset
management through Westmark Realty Advisors and real estate market research.
Products include hard-asset funds, loan funds, and mutual funds. Revenue from
the Financial Services segment contributed 27.2% to consolidated revenues and
increased 12.0% during the current quarter over the comparable prior year
period. EBITDA was up 4.4% for the quarter and flat year-to-date, reflecting
continued strength in investment property sales and valuation and appraisal
activity offset by expected declines in investment management and a more
competitive mortgage banking origination environment.
Ray Wirta, President of Financial Services, said, "In mortgage banking, we are
experiencing competitive pressures from an enormous influx of capital, which is
causing intense competition in the originations arena. In the investment
management area, we are experiencing greater competition in acquiring
properties, coupled with an anticipated run-off in our existing portfolio.
Notwithstanding these unexpected negatives in the markets, we anticipate better
results in both businesses as the new mortgage professionals mature, and the
intensity of the investment markets stabilize somewhat. Additionally, we look
forward to the expense synergies from combining the two investment advisory
businesses as well as the anticipated revenues we expect to realize from
investments we have been making in new financial services products."
