3. CORFAC is a professional association of commercial
real estate services firms throughout North and South
America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia.
Member firms collaborate with each other on real estate
transactions and refer clients among themselves. When
referring their clients to other member companies
around the nation or the world, CORFAC members
have a high degree of confidence in the abilities and
professionalism of other member firms, because
membership in CORFAC is by invitation only.

4. When a CORFAC member firm refers a client to another
member firm, the two firms collaborate on the
management of the projects involved without outside
influence – CORFAC exists to enhance the business
relationship, not hinder it. For all CORFAC referrals,
there is a single point of contact in each office, which
ensures a high degree of continuity and accountability.
In addition, it is often the case that senior principals will
become involved in projects referred among CORFAC
affiliates.

5. CORFAC also maintains relationships with similar
organizations in other parts of the world, including
FIABCI (the International Real Estate Federation), Latin
America Corporate Property Services, Inc., BDI, and
Rios Commercial. Clients who deal with a local
CORFAC member firm can be confident of working with
the highest quality professionals, no matter where in the
world they want to pursue business.
