You can have our playbook, BUT...

You still have to stop us - Bobby Knight (I think).    

Here is a sign Real Living is in the game.  True story from Wednesday afternoon...

I field a call from a suburban Chicago area code (630 - I worked Chicago so recognize the exchanges there) from a woman interested in some information about Real Living's franchise.  I talked to her briefly and was pushing to get some information about her company, goals, etc. prior to divulging information.  The call turned a bit "fishy" when she was 100% focused on the cost of our franchise and service fee structure.  I pushed her to meet with our Chicago franchise salesperson who resides and operates a Real Living office in downtown Chicago.  She repeatedly refused. 

She told me she was interviewing several franchises and Real Living would be, "out of the running," if I did not provide the information she wanted.  My reply, "if you are making a decision based entirely on our fees, we're likely not a fit."  She abruptly hung up. 

Feeling weird (I dislike being hung-up on), I decided to Google her phone number - 630-214-1600.  The number is registered to GMAC's corporate headquarters in Oakbrook, Illinois.  GMAC brokers, we're on your company's radar - call me to learn why.  Probably comforting to know your corporate office is spending time calling me vs. developing new products and services to aid in your growth. 

At Real Living we are focused on the consumer vs. what other franchises are doing.  Sure it is important to understand the competition, however, we're extremely focused on the consumer and making that experience the best in the industry - especially in today's market.  From the sites we provide our owners and agents, to our 2.0 application to agent tools, all were created with the consumer in mind.  Because we're doing well in this area, franchise sales, recruiting and growth are resulting. 

So, if you want to see our playbook, be straight up (real), call me directly (614-273-6084) and I'm happy to show our book to you.  Warning:  The playbook will only take you so far, you'll still have to beat us - if we're a fit, hopefully, you will join us instead!
