Acquire real estate brokerages and franchises across BC and Canada. BizBuy.ca provides hands-on buyer-side consulting for re brokerages acquisitions throughout Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
Real estate brokerage acquisitions are unique — revenue flows through commission splits, the licensed managing broker is the regulatory linchpin, and agent retention is the entire deal. BCFSA approval and notification are required.
Burnaby is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver and one of the strongest SMB acquisition markets in BC. Lower lease costs than Vancouver, strong commercial density (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed Town Centre, Edmonds), and excellent residential density support a wide range of acquisition targets.
BC brokerages are regulated by BCFSA (formerly RECBC). Managing broker continuity is critical. Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Victoria, and Kelowna are major markets.
