Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical multiple used for valuing brokerages?
Typically the multiple is anywhere from 2 to 4 times Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Taxes and Amortization, although the multiple will be influenced by a number of different factors.
What factors make a brokerage more valuable?
There are numerous factors that influence the value of a brokerage:
1. deal structure (the more money up front, the less the multiple);
2. geographic location of brokerage (bigger typically means higher value);
3. size of brokerage (again, bigger typically means higher multiple);
4. specialties (a brokerage with a specialty, if lucrative, typically means higher multiple);
5. gross margin per agent (the higher, the higher the value);6. agent tenure, attrition rates and attraction rates (the longer agents stay with you, the higher the value);
7. broker’s status within industry and within town/city (the higher the status, the higher the value).
