Real properties. Thoughtful presentation.
Your business, with backup
You didn't build an agency
to chase every handoff.
The shoot is only part of the job.
Then come the edit notes, delivery checks, client updates, and the next job already in motion. Growth Partner connects that backend work so you don't have to coordinate every department yourself.
You lead your market. We help run what happens behind it.

Portfolio samples show creative styles, not a promise that every product or premium edit is included. Covered products, revisions, and delivery standards are agreed in your service scope. “Viral Cut” is the sample's name, not a performance claim.
The operating layer
Less coordination.
More clarity.
From booking to final delivery, define the work you want our team to own. Your agreement sets the included services, capacity, coverage, products, and service standards.
See how we get startedFor a deeper growth partnership
Growth strategy, pricing and packages, sales processes, marketing planning, recruiting, and leadership support can be scoped separately.
Field capture stays with your local team unless expressly transferred. An equity arrangement does not automatically add every service or replace the agreed service fee.

Company-reported revenue, not profit. This is ACRE Seattle's operating history, not a promise of what the Growth Partner service will produce for another business.

Comparable January–July revenue: $779,226.43 in 2025 and $1,124,177.64 in 2026. The partial 2022 period is excluded from YoY calculations. Formula: (current comparable-period revenue ÷ prior comparable-period revenue − 1) × 100.
Recover capacity
Scheduling, handoffs, and team follow-through stop depending on the owner alone.
Build relationships
More room for local sales, repeat business, and higher-value client work.
Build equity value
A scalable operation matters when it also produces sustainable earnings and less owner dependence.
Optional equity illustration · Not the core service offer
Explore a possible growth path.
Change the assumptions to see revenue run rates and a simple equity illustration. These numbers are examples, not benchmarks or a forecast.
60% annual growth compounded in every year is an ambitious illustration, not typical or historical growth, and not a guarantee. Historical ACRE results are separate; this model cannot attribute causal lift to ACRE.
For scale: a $300,000 annual revenue run rate compounded at 60% becomes $1,966,080 after four years. Reaching exactly $2 million requires 60.69% annual compounding. This is a mathematical illustration, not a historical result.
Advanced valuation assumptions
After all operating costs, including market-rate management pay and any agreed service fees. Fees are inside this editable margin; the 35% fee is not subtracted again.
An example assumption, not a market benchmark or appraisal.
Debt minus excess cash; negative means net cash. Held constant at each horizon.

Separate from the core offer. The current core 35% managed-service offer does not itself transfer ownership. Any optional equity relationship is separately negotiated; using this model accepts no equity term.
Snapshots, not payouts. Annualized revenue = starting monthly revenue × 12 × (1 + annual growth)year. EBITDA = annualized revenue × margin. Enterprise value = EBITDA × multiple. Company equity value = max(0, enterprise value − net debt). Owner equity value = company equity value × retained ownership.
Illustrative equity only. Stake values, including any minority stake, are simple pro-rata illustrations, before future dilution, taxes and transaction costs. They do not reflect control premiums, minority discounts or actual deal terms. Debt/cash is shown explicitly. No liquid market, valuation, cash distribution or sale proceeds are guaranteed; real outcomes may be lower, including zero.

The commercial model
One partnership.
A clear revenue share.
35% of eligible collected revenue.
No equity for the core service.
ACRE Agency receives a service fee for the backend services included in your agreement. You retain the remaining 65% before field-production and other business costs.
- A service fee, not a discount or a profit split.
- You ordinarily retain shoots, your field team, and local client relationships.
- Eligible revenue, refunds, taxes, pass-throughs, and exclusions are defined in your agreement.
- Any deeper equity, rebrand, sales, marketing, or growth-leadership arrangement is scoped separately.

A local reputation.
A next chapter.
You've built something worth supporting.
Growth Partner is designed for established real-estate-media owners with clients to serve and a need for more operating support.
You want to keep leading your market, without building and managing every backend department yourself.
Talk about a partnershipA few practical questions
Before we talk.
Can I keep my brand?
Yes. The core model supports a white-label service path. Your brand, local relationships, and owner responsibilities are defined in your agreement.
Do I give up equity?
No equity is required for the core service partnership. Any deeper equity arrangement would be a separate conversation and agreement.
Who handles the shoots?
Ordinarily, you and your local field team. Any responsibility transferred to ACRE must be explicitly included in your service scope.
Who will I work with?
Your assigned account team and escalation owner are agreed during onboarding, along with communication channels and coverage. The team shown here is the broader team, not a dedicated staffing commitment.
What exactly is included?
Your signed scope defines covered project management, communication, photo and video products, quality control, systems, revisions, and delivery standards. Portfolio examples are not an all-inclusive product menu.
Are sales, marketing, and coaching included?
Not automatically. Any sales, marketing, coaching, rebrand, or growth-leadership support must be expressly scoped and agreed separately.
How is the 35% calculated?
It is calculated from the eligible collected revenue defined in your agreement, including the treatment of refunds, taxes, pass-throughs, and exclusions. You retain 65% before your own field-production and other business costs. This is not a profit split.
How does onboarding work?
We first review your operation, agree responsibilities and current commercial terms, then introduce the assigned team and test representative jobs. Timing depends on the agreed scope and available capacity.
