For Real-Estate-Media Agency Owners

You built the agency. It still stops the second you do.

Every job still routes through you. Margins are tighter than the growth promised. And no one has ever given you a straight answer on what the business is worth, or whether it could sell at all. There's a reason for all three, and it's the same reason.

Answer 14 questions, take about 3 minutes, and find out what your agency is actually worth today, plus the specific levers that move the number.

This free assessment shows you three things in under 3 minutes:

1

A credible range, not the lowball a consolidator quoted you.

2

What's lifting your value and what's dragging it down

Scored across the factors buyers price on.

3

The ranked moves that raise your multiple

And which one to start first.


Built by A27M Group, a working network of real-estate-media agency owners. The U.S. market is a $268M industry split across 6,591 firms, none holding more than 5% share. It rewards the operators who systematize while everyone else stays owner-dependent.

Led by Brendan Hsu, who has spent 5+ years coaching real-estate-media agency owners on the move from owner-run shop to sellable business, the thesis behind the $27M white paper.

Owner-dependent agencies trade at the bottom of their earnings multiple. The systematized, recurring version of the same business trades near the top, often close to double. Same business, a very different number.

Your A27M Valuation

Here's where your agency stands today.

A credible read on your current value, what's moving it, and the ranked moves that raise your multiple.

Buyers price your agency on a multiple of its real earnings, its SDE, meaning your take-home plus owner add-backs. Owner-dependent agencies sit at the low end of that multiple; the systematized, recurring version of the same business sits at the high end. The gap below is what closing that distance is worth.
