About Franc & Co
Franc & Co is a boutique commercial real estate brokerage and advisory firm delivering bespoke financing solutions for developers, lenders, and investors.

Stay current on market conditions, lender appetites, rate environments, and deal flow trends across Canada

Maintain accurate deal tracking and CRM reporting throughout the origination and closing cycle

Qualifications (REQUIRED)

5+ years of experience in commercial real estate lending, mortgage brokerage, or real estate finance origination

Demonstrated track record of closing commercial real estate financing transactions

Existing relationships with developers, investors, and/or institutional/private lenders in Canada

Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills

Qualifications (PREFERRED)

Experience with land servicing, construction, or development financing

Prior experience at a mortgage brokerage, investment bank, private lender, or real estate advisory firm

What we Offer

Health benefits program

A collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where your contributions have direct visibility and impact

Access to a curated lender network and a strong deal origination platform

The Franc & Co brand, reputation, and track record to open doors

Offices in Toronto and Vancouver with flexibility for remote and hybrid work
