Hugh & McKinnon Realty Ltd

What Hugh & McKinnon Realty Ltd does

Hugh & McKinnon Realty Ltd is a privately held, fully integrated real estate services firm headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, operating continuously since 1909. The firm provides a unified set of services spanning residential brokerage, commercial brokerage and leasing, rental property management, strata management, and commercial management for income-producing properties. Its client base includes residential buyers and sellers, rental property investors, strata corporations, and commercial property owners in the White Rock, South Surrey, Surrey, and Langley corridor, with listing and management activity extending into broader British Columbia markets. Since 2020 the firm has operated as a partnership led by Scott Higgins and Doug Clifford.

The business is built around a team of more than 30 licensed REALTORS® and specialized property and strata managers, several of whom hold Medallion Club, Highest Dollar Value, and multi-medallion distinctions from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and credentials such as RI(BC), CRA, P.App, and UBC Sauder School of Business strata and rental management licences. The firm manages approximately 60 strata corporations covering roughly 5,000 owners/clients and supports its rental book through a third-party tenant portal (Rent Cafe) and strata workflows via eStrataHub, with listings distributed through the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board MLS.

Revenue is generated from two structural layers: transaction-based commissions on residential and commercial sales and leasing, and recurring managed-services fees from rental, strata, and commercial management contracts. Pricing is per-transaction or per-property and varies materially by asset type, size, and location — disclosed rental unit pricing ranges from roughly C$1,400 to C$2,400 per month for residential suites, while commercial industrial space is quoted around C$29 per square foot annually or as a lump-sum sale price. The firm is asset-light, privately financed, has no parent company, and has not raised institutional capital.
