FirstService Corp
FirstService Corporation has etched its identity as a vital player in the realm of property services, with roots tracing back to its inception in 1989. This Toronto-based company operates primarily through two segments: FirstService Residential and FirstService Brands. FirstService Residential, as its name suggests, is made up of a sprawling network of community managers and support professionals, taking charge of the governance and maintenance of residential properties. They ensure that everything from the amenities to the aesthetic facets of these properties is running smoothly, thereby enhancing property value and ensuring the satisfaction of residents. By doing so, they have not only cultivated long-lasting relationships with property owners and developers but have also ensured a continuous, stable stream of management fees that fill the company’s coffers.
On the other hand, FirstService Brands is a diversified collection of franchise and company-owned businesses that cater to an array of property needs. These operations span from painting and home improvement services, such as through their CertaPro Painters and Paul Davis Restoration brands, to California Closets, which focuses on customized storage solutions. This segment thrives on the heightened consumer demand for home and property improvement solutions, supplying services essential to maintaining and appreciating property assets. Through its brands, FirstService Brands generates revenue by collecting franchise fees and royalties, as well as direct service fees. Together, these segments weave a robust tapestry of property service offerings, positioning FirstService Corporation as a stalwart in the industry with its comprehensive suite of services aiming to improve and maintain property value across North America.

Acquisition & M&A: The company remains active in tuck-under acquisitions despite high competition and elevated deal multiples, especially in roofing and fire protection.
