We can do more together
than any of us can alone.
A27M is a private coalition of the best real estate media agency owners in the industry — building shared back-end, shared leverage, and a coordinated path to an exit none of us could command on our own.
By invitation · $1M+ revenue floor · Eight Core Cooperative Partners
What the coalition is built for
Four levers no single operator pulls alone.
01
A coordinated roll-up
PE buyers want $3M+ combined EBITDA. No mid-tier agency reaches that alone. A coalition of operators does — and the multiple jumps from 2-3× to 6-8× when we reclassify from service business to tech-enabled platform.
02
A cooperative back-end
Shared editing, drone, 3D-tour, and SaaS pricing. A coalition negotiates Matterport, iGuide, AutoHDR contracts the way Ace Hardware negotiates wholesale — terms no single $1-4M agency could ever get.
03
A peer roundtable
Real P&Ls. Real pricing. Real hiring decisions. A room of operators at the same scale, fighting the same battles, sharing what's actually working. Confidential by default, give-more-than-you-take by rule.
04
A coordinated exit
Equity swaps, not cash buyouts. Decentralized governance, not PE control. Keep your local brand. Stay an operator. Get the second bite of the apple in a $27M+ entity, not a one-time check for a $1M business.
Who's at the table
Operators, not observers.
The coalition is built around eight Core Cooperative Partners and a wider group of agency members — owners doing $1M to $10M+ a year, each carrying a specialization the rest of the room actually needs.

Five questions. No wrong answers.
Applications are reviewed personally. The bar is character and values, not revenue alone. If it's not a fit, that's a completely valid answer too.
