The real estate franchise as an investment sector? This is how your start-up investment works

If your new professional franchise activity is to be understood as a capital investment, the required entry amount is to be understood as an investment sum: The equity allocated for this purpose is "invested" in business premises, furnishings, team acquisition and the franchise fee. The aim of this investment strategy is to improve your own income over the long term compared to your previous activities and in this way to increase your invested assets over the years - it is therefore important to understand that this is a long-term investment strategy.

How choosing the right franchisor affects your investment as a real estate agent

When preparing your business investment, the first thing to do is to find the right franchisor for your project. This is primarily characterized by a high level of awareness, successful business reports, maximum transparency and the most comprehensive possible franchisee support. Since you take over the business model of your franchisor, you can minimize the risk by choosing the right license partner, especially since their success has ideally already been proven at many international locations. Franchise fees also play an important role as they ultimately affect the return on your investment. You should therefore ensure that you create a rational relationship between one-off and ongoing charges to the franchisor on the one hand and your expected sales on the other. Taking these criteria into account, the Engel & Völkers real estate broker franchise offers you first-class entry opportunities: With its distinctive corporate identity, the Engel & Völkers brand stands for high-quality real estate brokerage services at over 800 locations worldwide, which have recently led to annual increases in total sales.

The location as a key success criterion for your franchise capital investment

Where you open your real estate franchise business is also jointly responsible for the returns on your investment. Depending on the supply and demand structure of a market and the different price structures in the corresponding region, different business approaches are required, which in combination influence the sales potential of your real estate brokerage company. Your personal skills as a managing director and practical aspects such as proximity to your place of residence and social environment also have an impact on your overall performance as an invested franchisee.
