Article Abstract:

American corporates are increasingly interested in obtaining a facilities management service for their global property arrangements in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. They require a variety of services and wish to work with few people, making it difficult for competitors to gain access to their business.

Agents such as Colliers International and Richard Ellis are working for corporate clients on a global basis.
