Colliers International is one of the largest real estate service groups in the world today and our mission is to provide our clients with the best possible real estate solutions. As a global real estate services affiliation with 9,327 employees in 241 offices in 54 countries, we are able to provide expert local real estate advice wherever our clients need us.
Colliers was among the first commercial real estate organisations to recognize the importance of local knowledge on a global scale. As early as 1986, we joined together commercial firms in Asia, Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa to provide consistent, superior service in multiple locations.
This pioneering tradition of global breadth and local depth continues today and sums up Colliers' unique approach to the business of commercial real estate. By having the best firms around the world gathered under the Colliers brand, we are able to provide clients with superior service through our local depth of knowledge and expertise.
