You might be looking at other franchise opportunities but we believe that estate agency is perfectly suited to franchising for several reasons:

• There is an established market place as people will always want to move house
• More and more homes are being built
• Property is seen as a good long term investment
• There are opportunities to differentiate as not all estate agents are the same

You do not need any previous experience or formal qualifications, although we would encourage applications from those with a sales or customer services background

With INTERCOUNTY you benefit from a wide variety of different income streams

What about the future?
The housing market has been transformed with technology and legislation in recent years. Electronic links with lenders and solicitors will continue to speed up the process whilst websites and multimedia approaches offer sellers a wider choice of how to have their home marketed.

Customers expect value for money, a professional service and a choice in the way in which they interact with their estate agent.

INTERCOUNTY is a founder member of the Ombudsman Scheme for Estate Agents, a fair, free independent service for buyers and sellers of residential property in the UK (http://www.oea.co.uk/).
