How CBBLS Transforms Co-Brokerage for Commercial Real Estate and Business Brokers, Achieving 2xPV for Clients

#### Introduction:?

Commercial real estate and business brokers often face stiff competition in an ever-evolving market. To differentiate themselves, brokers must offer innovative services that help their clients maximize value. The Co-Broker Business Listing Service (CBBLS) provides a platform that not only facilitates co-brokerage deals but also empowers brokers to achieve double practice valuation (2xPV) for their clients. This article will explore how CBBLS transforms co-brokerage and enables brokers to grow their business through collaboration, cutting-edge technology, and enhanced service offerings.

?Section A: The Importance of Valuation and How 2xPV Can Be Achieved

?#### A.1 Valuation Through Co-Brokerage:?

Business brokers play a critical role in valuing a business, and with CBBLS, they have new tools at their disposal. Traditional valuation methods, such as the comparable sales approach used in real estate, provide a baseline. However, CBBLS allows brokers to go beyond static valuations and instead focus on how to maximize a business’s value over time.

?

For example, a business owner may believe their business is worth $1M when the broker determines its actual value is closer to $500,000. With the help of CBBLS, the broker can introduce fractional CFO and CLO services, allowing the owner to enhance financial controls, marketing, and legal structuring to eventually reach the desired $1M valuation over time. This process transforms the broker from a simple intermediary to a trusted advisor who helps guide the seller toward a more profitable sale, all while earning additional compensation for their efforts.

?

#### A.2 Expanding Co-Brokerage Opportunities for New Markets:?

Co-brokerage in business brokerage is relatively new, particularly outside of states like Florida and California, where established systems such as BBF (Business Brokers of Florida) have proven successful. For brokers, this new approach represents an untapped opportunity to collaborate with peers and expand into industries they may not have previously had expertise in.

?

An agent with limited knowledge of the dental industry can now work with a listing broker specializing in dental practices, focusing solely on finding a buyer. This co-brokerage arrangement enables both brokers to benefit from their combined efforts and ensures fair compensation while reducing risk. Similarly, business brokers can now engage in commercial real estate deals, bringing in agents with different areas of expertise and monetizing these relationships through the co-brokerage model.

?

#### A.3 SimbleTON Technology and IP Integration:?

SimbleTON, a core technology behind CBBLS, serves as the foundation for integrating multiple systems into one cohesive platform. SimbleTON aggregates intellectual property (IP) assets and ties together services such as Vertica CRM, co-brokerage management tools, and business valuation technologies.

?

The simplicity of this system is key: brokers can manage their entire book of business from one platform without needing to master multiple systems. For example, with Vertica providing the data backbone, SimbleTON allows brokers to access information from various databases and listing services, simplifying tasks like valuation, communication, and referral management. This ensures that brokers spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on revenue-generating activities.

?

#### A.4 Case Study: Maximizing Compensation Through Co-Brokerage:?

A real-world example of how CBBLS multiplies income for brokers comes from a dentist named Donald. Donald owned a practice and the building it was housed in. He sold the practice for $1M and later sold the building for $1.2M. Through co-brokerage, the brokers involved in these transactions earned commissions on both sales, doubling their total compensation to over $220,000.

?

In this case, the business broker worked alongside a commercial real estate broker, leveraging CBBLS to collaborate and earn on both the business and the property. The end result was not just higher compensation but a more holistic service that added significant value for the client.

?

### Section B: Recruitment, Training, and Retention of Agents

?#### B.1 Differentiating with Co-Brokerage Expertise:?

Brokers using CBBLS have a powerful recruitment tool in co-brokerage. The ability to offer agents a platform where they can collaborate across industries and specializations sets CBBLS brokers apart from traditional brokers. Agents are attracted to opportunities where they can quickly expand their business without having to become experts in every field.

?

Once recruited, agents can be trained on how to monetize these co-brokerage opportunities, growing their personal income while helping clients achieve higher valuations. Retention naturally follows—agents who are making more money through co-brokerage are less likely to leave. This creates a sustainable, growth-oriented business model for brokers utilizing the CBBLS system.

Section C: The Role of Technology in CBBLS Growth

?

#### C.1 Simplicity Drives Success:?

The core of CBBLS’s competitive advantage lies in SimbleTON technology. By integrating Vertica CRM and multiple IP assets into a single platform, brokers can manage both real estate and business deals without needing to switch between systems. This seamless integration reduces the learning curve for new agents and improves efficiency, allowing brokers to close deals faster and with greater confidence.

?

#### C.2 Leveraging Expertise for High-Value Transactions:?

CBBLS enables brokers to collaborate with a wide range of professionals, including fractional CFOs, CLOs, and other C-suite executives, to enhance the value of their clients’ businesses. These professionals provide specialized financial, legal, and marketing services that can double a business’s value over time, a key selling point for CBBLS members and their clients and referral network members.

?

The ability to offer these services under one roof, backed by SimbleTON technology, sets CBBLS brokers apart in the marketplace. Not only can they help clients achieve 2xPV, but they can also earn additional compensation through referral and consulting fees, making the system a win-win for all parties involved.

?
