As the president of the most innovative real estate franchise in the U.S, I get a lot of questions about franchising.  The most common of those questions is "What is the cost". Brokers want to know what the cost is first, without hearing any of the benefits. My response is usually the same, "Why ask for the check if we havent even had dinner yet?". By that I mean that its difficult for broker to see the value in a company that is truly different when I just state a price. Even if the price was $100, it would seem too expensive if you havent heard what you will get for that $100.

The best real estate franchise is one that combines real estate in a box. In other words, the best support, the best technology and the best real estate business model moving forward. Believe me, I understand there are many real estate franchises available and it is up to you, the broker, to do your research. Your job is to pick the best real estate franchise for sale, and it is my job as the franchisor to give you more than just a price. My job is to help you understand what you are getting in return. Buying a franchise isn't like buying a pair or pants. You don't spend 10 minutes looking at it, then go up to the register. This is a life changing event and you should thoroughly research each company before making a decision.

I would suggest starting with Area Pro Realty, they have the best business model for todays real estate economy.
