Hi ssschris Although you are (may be) buying into a franchise, have you done your research into the competition in the area that you are looking to acquire the rights to? Even if you are buying a franchise, you still need to go through that whole 'is there a market place' research! There are a number of franchise letting agents out there (Belvoir, Martin & Co etc) and of course local estate agents who have letting departments as well as local letting specialists. What are Redstones unique selling points? Why would a landlord choose to let through you as opposed to the competition? Whilst the letting market continues to see great returns with increasing rents, the competition between letting agents is intense - I know as we let a number of properties and letting agents are undercutting each other to get new landlords as clients. Letting agents are effectively using price to get new clients. As a business man, price cutting to secure clients is no way to build a business on a secure footing. For a landlord though, it merely increases profits at the expense of the letting agent. This may have raised more questions for you, but I hope they get you thinking! If my team can be of further assistance, please feel free to ask.------------------------Kind regards Paul www.startuprevolution.co.uk Get your business moving!
