We're Looking for Business Partners, Referral Sources & Brokers
CRE Resources is growing — and we're looking for highly motivated individuals who want to build a career in business brokerage, or partner with us as referral sources and affiliates.
Become a Business Broker
Are you considering buying a business? Did you know some of our best brokers started as business buyers? Instead of placing a large down payment on a business, consider an opportunity to earn top commissions with no upfront cost.
We offer free training that will enable you to earn top commissions in a growing industry.
What Is Business Brokerage?
Business brokerage is a growing industry that is both challenging and rewarding. Our brokers sell small and mid-sized, privately held companies — helping sellers convert their hard-earned business equity into cash, and helping buyers realize the dream of independent business ownership.
For sellers, business brokers determine value, establish asking price, identify prospective buyers, facilitate negotiations, and coordinate closing — so the seller can focus on running the business during the sales process.
For buyers, business brokers serve as a single source for businesses listed for sale, targeting opportunities that match the buyer's experience, skills, and goals while streamlining the purchase process.
The Opportunity
This position operates as an independent contractor — giving you personal and professional freedom to select your clients and leverage your experience by focusing on particular industries and market niches.
- Commission-based — the average gross commission is 10% of purchase price
- Successful brokers close 8+ transactions per year
- No license required — in NJ and PA, you do not need a business broker or real estate license to practice
- Full training & tools provided — we equip you with everything you need to succeed
- Expect a 3–4 month sales cycle — new brokers should be financially prepared for this ramp-up period
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Computer literate and comfortable with digital tools
- Sales experience (any industry)
- Strong work ethic and highest level of integrity
- Comfortable in a commission-only role with high earning potential
- Prior business ownership is a plus
