FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FIRSTSERVICE ESTABLISHES COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DIVISION UNDER "COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL" BRAND

Completes acquisition of CMN International

Provides pro forma impact and updates outlook

TORONTO, Ontario and SEATTLE, Washington, November 30, 2004 - FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV.SV; NASDAQ: FSRV) and CMN International Inc. announced today the completion of a plan of arrangement whereby FirstService acquired a 70% interest in CMN with senior management, active brokers and employees retaining the remaining 30%. The closing follows a unanimous vote of CMN shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the shareholders meeting, the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

"We are proud to solidify the strong partnership we have already established with FirstService and we are excited about the prospects going forward," said Doug Frye, President and Chief Executive Officer of CMN. "As a FirstService company, we will continue our strategy of enhancing the ‘Colliers International’ brand worldwide, growing our business internally and through acquisition, and expanding our portfolio of services."

"CMN’s strong brand, exceptional management team and proven broker network provides FirstService with an important new platform for growth in the commercial real estate service sector," said Jay Hennick, President and Chief Executive Officer of FirstService. "Importantly, this new partnership will enable CMN to expand its service offerings as well as take an active role in industry consolidation."

Pro forma impact and updated outlook

On a pro forma basis, the acquisition of CMN would have impacted FirstService’s trailing twelve month results as at September 30, 2004 in the following manner:

Trailing twelve month results as at September 30, 2004
(unaudited)
(in US$ millions except per share amounts)				Pro forma
	FirstService	CMN		combined
Revenues	$ 659.7	$ 289.2		$ 948.9
EBITDA (a)	60.4	18.0		78.4
Diluted earnings per share	$ 1.53	$ 0.20 - $ 0.24	(b)	$ 1.73 - $ 1.77

(a)	EBITDA is defined as net earnings from continuing operations before minority interest share of earnings, income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers.
(b)	Pro forma incremental diluted earnings per share is based on preliminary estimates of acquired intangibles amortization and income taxes, but excluding any amortization of the short-lived backlog intangible asset, which is expected to be fully amortized during the 3 to 6 month period following the acquisition date (see below).

FirstService is in the process of determining the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities of CMN. As part of that determination, CMN’s backlog of pending commercial real estate brokerage transactions and listings is subject to EITF Issue No. 02-17, Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination. The Company will estimate the fair value of the backlog, record it as a short-lived intangible asset and amortize it over the next 3 to 6 months as pending transactions are completed. Accordingly, no net earnings will be recognized from this backlog.

The amortization of acquired intangible assets will have no impact on revenues, EBITDA or cash flow from operations. However, it will have a material non-cash impact on reported net earnings during the short period in which the pending brokerage transactions are completed. The Company expects to complete the final allocation of the purchase price, in the ordinary course, by its fiscal year end.

The outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005, which is a reiteration of our previous outlook, is contained in the table below, except for the impact of the non-cash amortization expense, described above, upon diluted earnings per share.

Fiscal year ending March 31, 2005	FirstService	Expected incremental	FirstService updated
(in US$ millions)	(excluding CMN)	CMN results	outlook (with CMN)
Revenues	$ 660.0 - $ 680.0	$ 85.0 - $ 95.0	$ 745.0 - $ 775.0
EBITDA	62.0 - 64.0	4.0 - 5.0	66.0 - 69.0

Note: The updated outlook assumes no further acquisitions or divestitures completed during the balance of fiscal 2005; acquisitions or divestitures actually completed during the balance of fiscal 2005 may materially impact these amounts. The updated outlook is based on current expectations of existing operations and is forward-looking. Actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the cautionary language below when considering this information. The Company undertakes no obligation to update this information.
