Jobs For 400 Property People
Well-known estate agency industry figure Richard Rawlings has today announced that he is looking to recruit at least 400 franchisees and consultants for a new venture he is launching in response to opportunities created by the current market – Homebuyers’ Agency.
Homebuyers’ Agency is a buyer representation service with a twist. Far from focusing on the traditional executive relocation idea, the service is aimed at anyone looking to buy a property, and provides a valuable advice, negotiation, mortgage, sales progression and moving support service.
It is not a search service although agents may choose to offer this. Fees are charged as a proportion of the amount saved off the asking price, with a minimum 1.5% fee and, uniquely, all commissions that would otherwise have been earned from the sale of financial services, insurance, utilities etc are fully rebated to the client for life.
“I have always argued that it is incredible that buyers are effectively unrepresented in a sale, yet it is they who carry the most risk,” said Rawlings. “Yet estate agents have all the skills in place to help them – local knowledge, experience of the process and relevant legislation, critical negotiating skills and the ability simply to help people make the right buying decision.”
Far from working in competition with existing estate agents, homebuyers’ agents work closely with them, paying commission for referrals, supplying instructions, and helping to progress sales. But never, ever, with any conflict of interest. And who better to work with, than a known co-professional who is also keen to facilitate a transaction?
Homebuyers’ Agency is offering franchises in up to 400 areas, and is also looking to recruit self-employed 50% commission-only consultants for investors wishing to purchase “pre-populated” franchise areas projected to deliver a 100% return on investment in year one.
With an innovative way of sourcing motivated clients, a robust back office system that rapidly qualifies the buyer for a mortgage, extensive training and marketing, along with minimal overheads and immediate start-up support, the Homebuyers’ Agency model could not have come at a better time for agents and businesspeople wondering about their future.
The opportunity is only open to seasoned estate agents who are passionate about service, who have superb relationship-building skills, who are well-connected, have a thorough knowledge of their area, and who can support themselves for up to three months as they build their business. Enquiries should be directed to info@homebuyersagency.co.uk
