In the real estate market you are constantly dealing with the economy state, federal regulations, and a host of other issues that can affect your bottom line. For real estate franchisors, the primary benefit is the ability to use other people’s money to expand the brand more rapidly than they could either on their own or through investors or lenders. The initial franchise fee and ongoing royalties they collect allow franchisors to build their brand without sacrificing control to outsiders or the pressure of repaying lenders. The fees and royalties are used to fund operations at corporate headquarters, train and support franchisees, market and advertise the brand, improve the quality of goods or services, and build the brand in the marketplace. The franchisees benefit from a much higher chance of success than in a sole proprietorship, shorter time to opening, initial training and ongoing support; national and regional advertising campaigns, customer lead generation through websites and centralized call centers, and a network of peers (fellow franchisees) to provide advice and moral support through a company intranet, annual conferences, and franchisee associations. Ask your Master Franchise Team Member which Real Estate Franchise Brand is right for you. Within this franchise category there are many franchise opportunities including Weichert, HomeVestors of America, HomeSmart, eFlatFee Realty, RE/MAX Franchise, Coldwell Banker, Red Carpet Real Estate, The Buyer’s Agent, SellSmart, Bug Realty, Exit Realty and others.
