FirstService wants to be first when it comes to real estate services. Its FirstService Residential subsidiary is one of North America's largest residential community property managers, and oversees some 7,000 low- and mid-rise properties (including condominiums, cooperatives, homeowner associations, and master-planned communities) spanning 1.6 million units across the US and Canada. The firm's Property Services subsidiary offers home and commercial repair and other services such as painting and home storage installation through company-owned sites and franchisees. FirstService separated from commercial real estate services provider Colliers International Group in mid-2015 to focus on residential management and property services.
