What is the Opportunity?
Lee & Associates is North America’s largest broker-owned commercial real estate brokerage firm, with more than 85 offices across Canada and the United States and over 1,500 brokers.
Lee & Associates Toronto is entering a new phase of expansion and is seeking an
Executive Managing Director and Market Leader to help build and scale one of the most entrepreneurial commercial real estate platforms in Canada.
“This is not a role for someone who wants to manage within a system. This is for someone who wants to build one and own a piece of what they create.”
Unlike traditional corporate brokerage models, Lee & Associates operates as a broker-owned firm providing senior leaders with the opportunity to participate in the long-term growth and capital value of the business they help build. The firm is also investing aggressively in AI-driven real estate intelligence, predictive analytics, and modern brokerage technology, positioning itself at the forefront of how commercial real estate advisory will operate in the future.
This opportunity is ideally suited for a top-producing broker, established team leader, or business unit head who is ready for greater autonomy, meaningful influence, and long-term ownership participation.
What Will You Do?
- Lead the continued expansion of Lee & Associates Toronto while building and mentoring a high-performance brokerage and advisory platform
- Recruit experienced advisors and brokerage teams who are seeking a more entrepreneurial and collaborative environment
- Expand service platforms, including corporate real estate advisory, logistics and supply chain advisory, industrial, office, retail, multi-family, investment sales, and capital markets services
- Drive growth initiatives tied to recruiting, client relationships, brokerage production, and platform expansion
- Position Lee & Associates Toronto as one of Canada’s leading independent commercial real estate advisory firms
- Contribute to the evolution of a technology-enabled brokerage model leveraging AI, data intelligence, and modern advisory tools
