Commercial Real Estate Brokerage: Local vs. Global Trends
The buying and selling of real estate is predominantly conducted through transactions agents: real estate brokers. In recent decades, there have been divergent trends in commercial and residential markets. Commercial brokerage firms have become involved in a wider range of services and have internationalized; in contrast, residential firms have remained nationally, and predominantly locally, based and still concentrate on brokerage. Economic explanations are used to understand this experience. This case study highlights a weakness in the arguments that globalization is inextricably taking over more facets of life. Higher incomes are associated with a growing preference for services, many of which are best delivered locally or in a decentralized way.
