How many realtors are there in British Columbia?
We count 11,674 realtors on published brokerage rosters in British Columbia as of 2026-11-02. Some agents here are counted as of an earlier read: Macdonald Realty's agents not found on its November 2, 2026 re-read, last read August 17, 2026; realtor.ca, last read August 18, 2026. That figure comes from re-reading the brokerage directories themselves every week or two — not from an annual survey — so it moves when the market does.

How we count — and why it differs from CREA
CREA reported roughly 158,000 REALTOR® members nationally as of early 2026. That is a license count — everyone holding membership, whether or not they are actively attached to an office roster. We measure something different: agents actually published on brokerage office rosters across the brokerage networks and independents we track, re-read every week or two. Rosters exclude license-parkers and pick up new agents only when their office lists them, so our number runs lower and moves with every scan. Neither number is wrong; they answer different questions. If you are sizing a market, licensing tells you how many people could practice — rosters tell you who is actually on a team today.
Full method, including which networks we track and what we deliberately don't count: the Index methodology. Numbers on this page refresh with each scan; cite freely with a link.
