The Supreme Court of British Columbia has granted final court approval for The Real Brokerage Inc.’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX Holdings Inc., marking a key regulatory milestone in the $2.9 billion all-stock merger.
The transaction, first announced in April 2026 and amended in June, received shareholder approval from both companies at special meetings held on a Sunday. The parties have set August 24, 2026, as the target closing date, contingent on the satisfaction or waiver of remaining closing conditions.
The Real operates a digital real estate platform with over 36,000 agents across the U.S. and Canada, while RE/MAX is a global franchisor with more than 145,000 agents in nearly 8,500 offices spanning over 120 countries and territories. RE/MAX also operates Motto Mortgage, a U.S.-based mortgage brokerage network with offices in more than 40 states.
The merger remains subject to customary regulatory clearances and other closing conditions, including final approvals from U.S. authorities. The deal is structured as an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $2.9 billion based on the companies’ share prices at the time of the initial agreement.
