About Brookfield Real Estate Services Inc. The Company is a leading provider of services to residential real estate brokers and their REALTORS®(1). The Company generates cash flow from franchise royalties and service fees derived from a national network of real estate brokers and agents in Canada operating under the Royal LePage, Via Capitale Real Estate Network and Johnston & Daniel brand names.

The Company network has an approximate 23% share of the Canadian residential resale real estate market based on transactional dollar volume.
