Martin and Co are encouraging existing agents to join the brand for an attractive franchise fee. How does it work? For one fee, one portfolio, one investment, one brand and with one call you can join the national Martin and Co brand.With one call you can join.... You can be part of the Martin and Co network with 170 plus offices UK-wide.
The UK leading lettings brand has developed particularly over the last three years - with a dedicated brand for London and student homes being rolled out successfully alongside an new on-line agent franchise proposition with 6 new on-line launches completing before the end of 2011.
You can be part of an award winning brand, recently winning Franchise of the Year for the second time and silver award for "Best Large Letting Chain" at the ESTAS this year. Sargents Lettings has recently rebranded as Martin and Co Gainsborough. Gainsborough, Scunthorpe and Brigg can now welcome the UK's number one letting agent to the town.
The new franchise will be based at their luxurious office in Gainsborough.Currently an independent agent the owner Angela Longstaff took lettings so far but needed something to take it to the next level and decided to look at the bigger picture. Angela wanted to work with a brand that had the processes and systems already in place (after all that's what franchising is about) to enable the lettings business grow. Who better to help than Martin and Co.? Angela the new franchise owner commented: "Martin and Co can supply me with the support, marketing, coverage and expertise above and beyond what would have been achievable alone. I want to be able to offer the peace of mind to landlords with the unique Martin and Co Promise."
The lettings industry is changing down to the current financial climate and is seeing more people now renting rather than buying. Angela has been working in the lettings industry for 20 years, as a bolt on to the residential sales business. Angela commented: "Looking at the current state of the market, it was clear the business need to dedicate more to lettings and not be second place to sales. It deserves the commitment of a standalone business and that is exactly what Martin and Co can provide". Having worked for corporate agents and run an independent agency for 15 years, Angela could see the advantages associated with running her own business. Angela expressed:"The opportunity of being part of a network of over 170 offices, yet still be in control of fee packages to suit or geographic area will allow us to offer a service locally that is second to none."
The priority for Martin and Co Gainsborough will be to offer high quality customer service levels to landlords and tenants and commitment to manage properties correctly and efficiently.Landlords and tenants within the Gainsborough and Scunthorpe area will be provided with a totally new approach to lettings as well as a combination of years of local knowledge and experience plus the additional service provided by Martin and Co. Angela added: "I look forward to developing Martin and Co Gainsborough to be established as the market leader in the area with a reputation for quality service and standards."
