Many independent brokers have contacted me lately telling me they have never thought about franchising before but are now having second thoughts. They want to research the most innovative real estate franchise available. Before I continue with the conversation, I always ask them why, why now? The response is always the same. Although owning an independent brokerage has a certain level of freedom, with this economy its best to be a part of a team, a team backed with the support and technology todays brokers need. I tell them, owning a real estate franchise is like hitting the ground running and an independent brokerage is like reinventing the wheel.

I have owned an independent brokerage and a franchise, so I know what its like on both sides of the coin.  I will tell you that of all the real estate franchises available, I think Area Pro Realty is the best real estate franchise. The link to their franchise page is AreaProRealty/franchise. Area Pro Realty operates with a completely different business model taylored to the recent (and forever) changes in the real estate industry.

Before researching any one real estate franchise for sale, start with Area Pro Realty, and use them as a base when comparing other real estate franchises.

Good luck to you!
