How to use this directory
What the list covers, how each entry was checked, and what to ask a brokerage before you hire one.
What does the list cover?
Brokerages with a commercial real estate practice and an office in Metro Vancouver: global firms and networks, Canadian firms, and BC firms. Some are commercial-only. Others are mainly residential brokerages with a named commercial team or division, and the write-up says so.
Not on the list: teams and personal brands that work inside another brokerage, residential brokerages without a commercial division I could source, firms without a Metro Vancouver office, and landlords that lease only their own buildings.
Firms are listed alphabetically. The “type” filter groups them by where they’re based, and isn’t a ranking.
How was each entry checked?
Every fact comes from the firm’s own website or the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) licensee register, checked on November 11, 2026. Each firm page lists its sources. Where a fact couldn’t be sourced, it was left out. Nothing was supplied or paid for by the firms.
What should I check before hiring a brokerage?
- Look up the brokerage and the person you’ll work with on the BCFSA register. It shows licence status and any recent discipline.
- Ask who will do the work day to day, and what they’ve done recently in your property type and area.
- Ask whom they represent in the deal. BC licensees have to tell you in writing before they provide services.
- Ask how they’re paid, and get it in writing in the listing or representation agreement.
