The smartest brokers are buying right now
Acquisitions aren’t just about expansion. They’re about leverage – getting more from every agent, every lead source, and every dollar spent.
What buyers look for in a brokerage
You’re not just selling a business. You’re selling years of leadership, decision-making, market insight, and trust. It’s personal – and that’s what makes it powerful. But buyers don’t make decisions based on emotion. They’re looking at your brokerage through a different lens: return on investment.
What will your legacy be?
You built a brokerage with your name on the sign, your fingerprints on every decision, and your heart poured into every relationship. But at some point, every successful leader has to ask: What happens when I step away?

A New Era of MLS Mergers and Acquisitions Arrives
There is very little clarity today about the fast spreading news that Realtor Association shareholders of RE Colorado have given notice that they intend to sell their shares of the MLS to a private equity firm. The Realtor Associations want out of their investment, and it doesn't really matter why. To date no MLS has ever been sold to private equity investors. Some MLSs have been sold outright to fellow Associations and MLS, but to our knowledge, we never seen private equity enter this space until now. This could set off a wave of transactions if private equity starts to pay attention to the profitable business models of Multiple Listing Services.
