NAI Bergman
Independently owned, family-operated NAI Global affiliate.1
Real Estate Industry Reviews Editorial Team Updated 2026-10-27 bergmancommercial.com
Overview
NAI Bergman’s contact page lists 4695 Lake Forest Drive, Suite 100, Cincinnati, OH 45242. A Dayton office is also listed. The firm site describes the company as independently owned and family-operated, and as an NAI Global affiliate. The brokerage page says it was founded as Bergman Group, INC., and claims over 65 years and four generations. It does not state a single founding year. That count is not restated here as a year. Services named include office, industrial, retail, corporate, medical, educational, multi-family and hotel work, leasing and sales, acquisitions and dispositions, landlord and tenant representation, appraisal and valuation, investment services, property management, development and construction management.
Two sourced criteria produce the 9.0 score: years in business at 10 points and weight 20 and public reviews at 8 points and weight 15. Evidence: Moderate. Criteria without a source stay out of the math.

Years in business, weight 20, 10 points. The brokerage page claims over 65 years and four generations and does not state a single founding year. A count over 65 is the 20-or-more band (10 points). It is not restated as a founding year. The phrase “founded as Bergman Group, INC.” names an earlier style and not a year. This is the firm’s own page, so it is not an independent source. NAI Bergman
Public reviews, weight 15, 8 points. Google Maps business listing, checked 2026-10-27: 4.7 (7, Google), 4695 Lake Forest Dr #100, Cincinnati, OH 45242. A count and an average were read on a third-party site. The rating 4.7 is the 4.7 to 5.0 band (10 points). 7 reviews caps the criterion at 8. This input is 8 points. This is the same hand reading as the Cincinnati hub, scored once. Google Maps business listings (star ratings and review counts read by hand, 2026-10-27)
Math: 320 weighted points ÷ 35 (the weight of the sourced criteria) = 9.1, then capped at 9.0 / 10 because exactly two criteria are sourced. A 10.0 needs at least three sourced criteria. Evidence: Moderate. Criteria without a source are left out of the denominator. This is the boutique rubric, not the filing rubric used for the six national firms, and the two are not comparable.

Methodology and sources
Method note and sources
This score uses the boutique public-evidence rubric: state license (25), professional directory (20), verifiable transactions (20), years in business (20) and public reviews (15). A number is published only when at least two criteria have a source and at least one of those sources is independent of the firm. With exactly two sourced criteria the score is capped at 9.0; a 10.0 needs at least three. Self-reported career totals and review claims we have not read are not inputs.
