C21NZ On Recruitment Drive For More Franchised Offices

 

“It may be the end of year, but we’re
on a drive to encourage successful realtors and motivated
businesspeople to consider Century 21 franchise
opportunities for 2023,” says Tim Kearins, Owner of
Century 21 New Zealand.

The real estate boss says
franchising has proven to have a higher rate of success than
typical start-ups, with Century 21’s international reach
increasingly appealing as New Zealand opens
up.

“With the support of Century 21’s global
network, those who commit to a new franchised office will be
guided and supported every step of the way. As a challenging
2022 closes, here’s a great opportunity for people to
begin the new year with a new venture,” says Mr
Kearins.

While many other real estate brands are
shrinking or closing offices, Century 21 New Zealand has
opened two new franchised offices in the past year. Century
21 Jean Johnson Realty has had a solid start in Dargaville,
while more recently Century 21 Excellence opened in Epsom,
Auckland.

The Century 21 leader says it’s no secret
that the company has ambitions to open more franchised
offices. He says there are plenty of opportunities
nationwide for prospective franchisees to establish start-up
offices or rebrand their existing real estate
agencies.

“Century 21 is not in every town and that
creates enormous potential and large exclusive catchments
for anyone wanting to roll their sleeves up. There remain
many untapped locations, with us actively on a recruitment
drive. We see real opportunities in the likes of Hamilton,
Tauranga, and Auckland’s North Shore,” he
says.

Despite the market softening, Mr Kearins
believes it’s the perfect time in the property cycle for
experienced real estate agents and businesspeople to set up
a new shop.

“Vendors are desperate for extra energy
and enthusiasm in an agent and agency, with both buyers and
sellers hungrier than ever for world-class customer service.
What’s more, in a quieter market, a new franchise office
will get noticed more,” he says.

In 87 countries and
world famous for its customer service, Century 21 leads the
charge with how real estate is conducted. It is both the
largest real estate organisation and most recognised realty
brand internationally.

“Being a Century 21 franchise
means you have the best training, systems, and technology.
What’s more, every listing goes onto our global website
which can be translated into 19 different languages. No one
can beat us on reach, and maximum exposure for properties
means the best possible price for vendors,” says Mr
Kearins.

Another point of difference for Century 21 is
the presence of and access to Century 21 Financial. With
interest rates heading north, buyers are increasingly
looking to brokers for competitive rates and greater
borrowing flexibility. Delivering for C21NZ clients up and
down the country, Century 21 Financial Managing Director
Julius Capilitan is only getting busier.

“Every
challenge creates opportunity, and real estate is no
different. The most successful agents and offices are often
those that have started their run against strong headwinds.
More than ever, Kiwis want great service and a great result.
Century 21 franchises are world renowned for delivering
both,” says Tim Kearins.
