A handful of national residential estate agents chains exist, such as Connells, with the majority being locally or regionally specialised companies.
Several multi-national commercial agencies exist, typically being Anglo-American, pan-European or global. These firms all seek to provide the full range of property advisory services, not just agency.
Only a handful of large firms trade in both commercial and residential property.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or structure:
“In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
