CORFAC News

The most knowledgeable and dedicated commercial real estate brokers often choose to chart their own course. Rather than falling in line under a corporate brokerage network, entrepreneurial firms excel by using their creativity, local market knowledge and professional connections to strategize for their clients.

What advantages can entrepreneurial firms offer over the big corporate shops? Here are three factors that set CORFAC International's network of indpendent brokerages apart: 

1. Local Expertise with Global Connections

When it comes to working with an independent brokerage firm, relationships matter. With affiliate offices in over 75 markets worldwide, our brokerage firms have  an extended network of trusted colleagues that deliver top-level service and results. Our affiliates routinuely collaborate on cross-market business, always keeping the client's needs at the forefront. Choosing a firm that has collaborative professional relationships in national and global markets can ensure you get unmatched service, no matter where your business takes you.

2.  Principal Involvement in Every Transaction 

In markets saturated with well-known commrecial real estate networks, it may seem wise to choose the biggest brand name. But this comes with the risk of being turned over to inexperienced associates who may not possess the requisite skills or market knowledge. Our member firms are led by dedicated principals who not only lead their firms, but also handle the daily workflow. Choosing a CORFAC firm ensures that every assignment, no matter how small, will be managed by a brokerage principal.  

3. Specialized CRE Experts

Brokers who hold industry credentials, such as the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) and Certified Property Manager (CPM) designations, have invested in the time and coursework to elevate their skills. These credentials ensure high standards of competence and integrity while also expanding the brokers' range of relationships and resources. The CORFAC network is the proud home of hundreds of specialized, designated experts whose advanced skills add value for clients.

With more than 900 intentionally indepenent members, CORFAC is the world's premier network of entrepreneurial commercial real estate brokerage firms. Our  members collaborate across markets and openly share best practices, technology tools and success strategies, which leads to trusted relationships and a strong collective knowledgebase.
