HS Listing ID-72930
An established residential real estate brokerage built on a distinctive, highly efficient operating model. Unlike traditional brokerages, the business operates with minimal overhead and a lean ownership structure, allowing independent agents to retain approximately 90% of their commissions in exchange for full responsibility over their own transactions.
This unique structure has created strong agent loyalty and a business that generates consistent revenue with limited owner involvement. Over the past four fiscal years, the brokerage has produced between $562,000 and $842,000 in annual revenue through real estate sales commissions, administrative fee income, and rental management/lease commission income — a diversified revenue base that reflects real estate market cycles while maintaining reliable profitability.
Owner/Operator Role
The current owner operates in a limited, high-level oversight capacity, dedicating approximately 1-2 hours per day on average to the business. His role includes managing and mentoring the brokerage’s independent agents, agent recruiting as needed, and resolving disputes when they arise. All agents operate as independent contractors (1099), handling their own day-to-day transactions and client relationships. This low-overhead, low-time-commitment structure is a standout feature of the business, making it especially attractive to a buyer seeking real estate industry involvement without the demands of a traditional, high-overhead brokerage.
Transition & Training
The current owner is committed to a 3-month transition period following the sale. During this time, he will work to introduce the new owner to the brokerage’s agent network, ensuring a smooth transfer of relationships and trust — a critical factor in a relationship-driven business like this one. This transition period is designed to help the new owner become a familiar, trusted presence to the existing agent base, supporting continuity and retention through the ownership change.
Facility & Location
The business currently operates from a leased office space at $1,900/month. The current owner is open to continuing to lease the space to the new owner following the sale, providing continuity of location and minimizing disruption during the transition.
