Advantages of Working With an Independent Brokerage

Independent Brokerage

  1. Retain more profitability per transaction and deploy resources locally where they can have the greatest results.
  2. Continue to hold the #1 Market Share position in many more markets than the competing franchisees, due to the power of the local brand in a local business.
  3. Build their brand rather than someone else's.
  4. Control the service & reputation associated with brand, and deliver based on that accountability.
  5. Are true stakeholders in the local community, a reality that consumers respond to and appreciate.
  6. Have unlimited opportunities to grow business through ancillary services that drive local profitability.
  7. Have used the brand and listing content to create the local real estate Web site of choice.
  8. Drive the direction of the business, and turn on a dime to meet local market needs.
  9. Are empowered by RELO® resources to control relocation and referral business.

Franchise Brokerage

  1. You pay a percentage "off the top" of every transaction you produce for services that may never benefit you locally.
  2. You are subject to an agenda set by a large conglomerate, which cannot tailor its programs to individual companies and marketplaces.
  3. Use your skills to build a national brand that may own or franchise your competitors.
  4. You may be impacted by brand and identity issues and inconsistent service delivery that affect your local reputation.
  5. You may be perceived as community "outsiders" who are part of a national chain rather than local stakeholders
  6. You are often required to feed the franchise’s ancillary operations and their bottom line.
  7. Have local web sites that are overshadowed by the national site, with name similarity that makes it difficult to find the local firm.
  8. Franchises/corporate conglomerates are constrained by bureaucracy and corporate red tape.
