Sutton Group real estate has joined forces with myAbode to create a Canadian network of over 12,000 agents who, together, handle over 60,000 transactions valued at billions of dollars annually across the country.
The consolidation unites two of Canada’s most prominent domestic real estate organizations, combining Sutton Group’s growing network with myAbode’s technology and brokerage optimization expertise. They also create one of the largest real estate brokerage networks in the country.
As part of the transaction Ross McCredie, CEO of Sutton Group, will join the myAbode board of directors, while president and COO James Innis will become chief investment officer of myAbode, leading brokerage operations nationally. Both also continue in their leadership roles at Sutton.
Bronwyn Smith, CEO of Toronto-based myAbode, will join the board of Sutton Group to work alongside Sutton leaders and advance the industry through technology innovation.
“This is a very exciting partnership, a step towards moving our industry forward,” Smith said in the announcement. “By combining James’ diverse skill set with Ross’ deep-rooted real estate expertise and vision, we’re uniting under a shared technology. By growing our network, we will provide agents with more referrals, expanded connections, and technology innovation.”
"Strategic investment" by myAbode
The transaction involves a “strategic investment” by myAbode into Sutton Group, according to the announcement. Financial details were not disclosed.
"We are excited to join forces with myAbode to accelerate our vision of enhancing the way Canadians manage and transact real estate," McCredie said in the announcement. “This partnership gives our partners, agents and the myAbode agent network the operational strength and cutting-edge technology they need to lead our industry.”
“This is the combination of capital, operating expertise, and technology the industry needs. We are building a unique digital platform based on trust,” Innis added, in the release.
myAbode runs operational infrastructure for Canadian residential real estate brokerages, handling deal processing and compliance. The platform assists broker-owners in operating compliant, efficient businesses, freeing-up agents to focus on deals and delivering client service.
Backed by Toronto investment firm Round13 Capital, myAbode operates Right at Home Realty and Property.ca, serving brokerages across Canada.
Founded in 1983, Sutton Group is based in Vancouver and spent the past year expanding its nationwide network. In February 2025, it announced new franchise partners in Surrey and New Westminster, and a dedicated hub for British Columbia. In October, Sutton opened new offices in Calgary and Kelowna.
McCredie Investments acquired Sutton Group in 2023. That firm is also a Vancouver-based company led by McCredie, who serves as its principal.
Sutton Group has just under 200 offices and close to 100 franchise partners, with the majority in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.
