Trends and Facts About Real Estate Franchises

1. The Real Estate Roundtable, a “think tank” forum of executives from leading real estate professional associations and privately held firms, estimates that the American real estate industry creates and supports approximately nine million jobs. With the real estate industry under pressure from a slow economy, franchising could be the ideal survival strategy for smaller, independent real estate brokerages. A franchise provides the power of brand name backing, and all the benefits that entails – comprehensive training, state-of-the-art technology, partnerships with leading vendors, and lead generation.


2. The National Association of REALTORS reported in its 2007 Member Profile that nearly 45 percent of all REALTORS are with a franchised real estate company.


3. Respondents to the Association’s Profile also attribution their success rates to franchise association – 80 percent claimed that the affiliation strengthened their ability to acquire listings. And 89 percent believed that their franchise affiliation improved their firm’s brand name recognition.
