Estate Agency Franchise UKVirtual Property World Ltd

WHO ARE WE?

A highly successful company which has provided European clients with low cost fixed fee estate agency for over 6 years. Our highly successful business formula is now available in the UK. We are creating the largest and most successful online estate agency in the UK marketplace.

OUR MARKET – FACTS AND FIGURES

There are over 650,000 properties and 100,000 businesses for sale at any one time in the UK. Recent figures estimate the UK estate agency market to be worth £6.7 billion through 1.6 million sales transactions. Currently less than 2% of people sell their homes without using traditional estate agents although 27% of people would do so if they knew of a viable alternative. Virtual Property World provides that viable alternative.

WE OFFER THREE PROFITABLE BUSINESSES IN ONE FRANCHISE

We save our clients substantial amounts of money and sell their home, business or commercial property faster and at a far lower cost. We also provide the government required Energy Performance Certificates.

MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS

Our franchisees earn high income levels from multiple income streams including revenues from third parties such as conveyancing and mortgage companies. Franchisees earn money as they generate business. This is not reliant on property sale as all payments to franchisees, advertising and other costs are funded by head office.

A UNIQUE FRANCHISE – FREE FRANCHISE AREAS

Many franchisors encourage franchisees to purchase extra territory to make moneys. At Virtual Property World we operate a unique system. Franchises are given extra areas totally free of charge. This system allows a successful person to grow with us at no additional cost. We feel this is a fantastic system which rewards hard work and ability. We cannot find another franchise which offers this level of opportunity for personal growth and profit.

OUR COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE TO CLIENTS

We offer a comprehensive yet low cost service. Much of the following is generated by bespoke in-house software applications and external third party companies (paid for by head office.) Our service level is higher than most high street estate agents at a far lower cost. A recipe for franchise success.

Our clients sell quicker and cheaper with our service:

FRANCHISEE EARNINGS

This is an industry that really rewards effort. First year earnings are typically between £50,000 and £100,000 and directly related to the effort and energy put into the business. This figure will rise in subsequent years when the business is established, and marketing and television advertising, kick in.

Who Are We Looking For?

Industry experience is not necessary. The qualities that are important to us include a keen interest in property, self motivation, determination and a desire to create your own future. We need people who have the ability to learn and use proven systems. There is no substitute for a hard working attitude, so the right self employed ethos is a paramount. These attitudes, with each person’s unique transferable skills and experience, combined with our experience, training and support, ensure success.  

Equipment & Technology

We supply a lot for the franchise fee which includes a quality digital camera, 360 degree virtual tour and video equipment (Once trained it takes around 10 minutes to do a full Virtual Tour of an average property), laser measurers, access to floor plan technology.

We use all the latest estate agency technology to promote our clients properties and keep us ahead of the competition. We are the only estate agent presently in the UK using 360 video tours. Most of the work is done by arms length software, all the floor plans, including the sophisticated 2D, 3D and walk through are generated by a third party company, who charge head office (not the franchisee).

We provide all of the point of sale materials, paperwork, contracts and operations manuals even down to the phone. All you have to do is plug it into your router, and you’re immediately on our system through the internet. In short everything you need to be very successful in this rewarding industry.

Comprehensive In-House Training

Our in-house training teaches you to be a professional estate agent under the Virtual Property World umbrella. In depth in house and external training is given and you will be NAEA and DEA qualified which are nationally recognised qualifications (all included in the initial franchise fee.) Virtual Property World gives you access to our years of experience both in the property sales and business transfer markets. The knowledge we pass on to you would take many years to acquire and will save you many, expensive mistakes, along the way.

Head Office Support

A Virtual Property World franchise is about running your own business for yourself, but not by yourself. Support is available whenever you need it. We provide you with all the support needed which allows you to concentrate on building your business and making money.  Head office staff support you at all times and take on many functions which includes liaising with clients, making appointments, arranging viewing as well as negotiating property sales.
