Expansion in B.C. marks another milestone in Coldwell Banker Canada’s multi-year plan to elevate professional standards and strengthen national leadership.
Vancouver, BC, December 18, 2025 – Coldwell Banker Canada advanced its national growth strategy with a major announcement in British Columbia as two long-standing franchise partners scale their operations and welcome upwards of 100 realtors into the network. The announcement highlights the accelerating momentum behind the brand and reinforces Coldwell Banker Canada’s commitment to building a stronger, more unified presence in key markets across the country.

Coldwell Banker Universe Realty, based in Surrey and serving communities across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, is opening a second location in Abbotsford, BC and adding more than 80 agents to the Coldwell Banker Canada network. The brokerage has built a strong reputation for client-centred service, local expertise, and a culture that mirrors the pace and diversity of Metro Vancouver’s real estate landscape. This expansion enhances Coldwell Banker Universe Realty’s capacity to meet growing consumer demand while offering agents increased access to the brand’s tools, marketing support, and professional development resources.
Coldwell Banker Executives Realty is also expanding its footprint with the launch of a new office in Abbotsford, where it expects to add 30 agents. With long-established roots in the Interior, Kootenays and Fraser Valley, the brokerage is recognized for its strong professional culture, hands-on leadership, and focus on developing agents at every stage of their careers. The Abbotsford office strengthens the brokerage’s reach in one of British Columbia’s most active real estate corridors.
The growth comes at a pivotal moment for the provincial and national housing markets. The latest forecast from the BC Real Estate Association projects average home prices in British Columbia approaching $995,600 in 2026, driven by sustained population growth and continued demand for housing. Nationally, the Canadian Real Estate Association reports stabilizing resale activity and renewed buyer engagement in several metropolitan regions. These trends create a strategic environment for brokerage growth and reinforce the value of strong leadership and meaningful brand support.
“These moves reflect the calibre of leadership within our network and the strong momentum we are seeing across Canada,” highlighted Karim Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of Coldwell Banker Canada. “Brokers want stability, leadership, and a brand that is committed to raising the level of professionalism in our industry. They want a partner that stands behind them as they scale. These significant expansions reinforce the confidence that strong operators have in our platform and in our direction as a brand. We are building something that strengthens real estate leadership across the country, and this is another important step forward.”
Hashim Arthur, Chief Operating Officer of Coldwell Banker Canada, noted that the growth in B.C. demonstrates the increasing number of broker owners seeking a stable, well-resourced platform. “We are seeing a shift across the Canadian real estate landscape. Broker owners are making thoughtful, strategic decisions about who they want to align with, and more of them are choosing Coldwell Banker Canada. They see a brand that is investing in tools, marketing, leadership, and long-term growth. Our network is expanding because our value proposition is resonating with the people who drive this industry. This is part of a broader movement we are seeing from coast to coast, and it reinforces the strength and momentum of our national strategy.”
Coldwell Banker Canada will continue advancing its national expansion strategy through 2026 with a focus on building leadership depth, elevating professional standards, and supporting the long-term success of its brokers and agents. The company’s momentum reflects a clear trend across the country: leaders are choosing a brand with stability, integrity, and a forward-looking vision for the future of Canadian real estate.
