Why join a franchise network?

1

Credibility

Enjoy the benefit of a tried-and-tested business model, supported by a recognised brand with both existing and prospective clients.

2

Always up to date

Get fresh industry data, updated corporate governance policies, and ongoing compliance changes from a central distribution point. Pertinent legal documents like Offers to Purchase are promptly updated to comply with evolving legal and industry standards.

3

Economies of scale

The larger the group, the more leverage the Franchisor has in negotiating better terms, rates, products, and services for its Franchisees.

4

Avoid the disconnect of independent business ownership

5

Additional income opportunities

Access to specialised or accredited-only opportunities and special projects, such as access to distressed property portfolios at the four major banks.

6

Mentoring

Training and coaching are of a higher standard, with practical insights and applications drawn from the knowledge and experience of an entire community.

7

Safety in numbers

Franchisees enjoy a risk-managed environ-ment with solutions regarding property sales and rentals, property management, and administrative challenges.

8

Proper systems

From referral systems to IT systems to rental management systems, a Franchisor provides tried-and-tested operational methodologies, marketing and media libraries and platforms, management software, and much, much more to Franchisees.

9

Cross-pollination

Franchisees share their knowledge and practical know-how with agents, creating a platform for cross-pollination of the best ideas in the industry (and a bit of friendly rivalry)
