Fort Myers, FL (October 23, 2025) – Corporate Investment Business Brokers (CIBB), a leading Southwest Florida firm specializing in the sale and acquisition of businesses, today announced the acquisition of CRE Consultants, a premier provider of commercial real estate and property management services. The strategic move brings together two established market leaders under one corporate umbrella, expanding the range of integrated solutions available to business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs throughout the region.

Under the agreement, both CIBB and CRE Consultants will retain their respective names, teams, and brand identities, but will operate within the CIBB corporate family. This structure preserves each company’s individual strengths while creating opportunities for collaboration that directly benefit their clients.

For CIBB, the acquisition adds a full suite of commercial real estate services — including sales, leasing, property management, and more. This expansion allows CIBB to offer a complete “business and property” solution, ensuring clients have a single, trusted partner for both business transactions and the real estate components that often accompany them.

For CRE Consultants, joining forces with CIBB opens access to a vast network of business-owner clients and investors, many of whom require commercial space as part of their business acquisitions. This relationship creates a steady pipeline of potential real estate opportunities while strengthening CRE Consultants’ market reach and resources.

“By combining our complementary expertise, we’re creating a streamlined experience for clients who often need both business and property solutions, it’s a win-win for both organizations and, most importantly, for the people we serve”, said Dan Smith, President of CIBB.

With this acquisition, CIBB and CRE Consultants are positioned to deliver a broader, more integrated service model that addresses the complete needs of business owners and investors — from the sale or purchase of a business to the acquisition, leasing, or management of the property where it operates.
