Opening eyes – a new concept in estate agency franchising
September 6, 2010
August 2010 saw the roll out of an exciting new franchise opportunity that offers a revolutionary new concept in estate agency – which will be welcome news to struggling home sellers and landlords across England and Wales.
Offering highly competitive selling and letting fees, combined with a truly personalised service; it is expected that Open House Estate Agents will ruffle the feathers of some the less proactive traditional agents and help to substantially reduce the costs associated with moving home.
Unlike other estate and letting agency franchises, the set-up and ongoing costs for the Open House franchise are relatively small; which makes this opportunity a viable option for even those with a modest budget.
Part of a network of ‘local personal agents’ with property expertise and local area knowledge, backed with national marketing support; Open House franchisees will combine the best of traditional estate agency service with the low fees associated with personal property selling websites.
Victoria Burbidge, Open House Director, commented “The way that people are searching for property is changing, with over 80% of successful home buyers now using the internet.”
“However, people still value the expert service and local knowledge that an estate agent can provide. After all, your property is likely to be your most valuable asset and it makes sense to employ a professional to handle the sale. This is why the majority of home sellers still choose to pay up to 2% commission to an estate agent“ said Victoria.
Open House will offer range of selling and letting options to suit all budgets, which could quite literally save people thousands of pounds. These low fees are achieved by reducing unnecessary overheads, group buying power and the centralisation of non-customer facing functions.
“The day of the high-street agent and their associated high fees has gone. Consumers are more informed today and are prepared to shop around for great value service. This is exactly what our franchisees will be delivering.” Victoria continued.
Operating in exclusive geographical areas, based from home or a small office; Open House is looking for individuals with the drive and entrepreneurial flair to build a profitable and sustainable business, with massively reduced overheads.
This full ‘turn key’ package provides successful applicants with a comprehensive training programme (including an industry recognised qualification) and structured business support systems, to enable franchisees to offer a full estate agency and tenant finder service.
