Real Property Management - Franchise

Starting a Property Management Business
A High Demand Industry for High Achievers
As you have been evaluating franchise opportunities, you may have been intrigued by the different types of businesses in the home services sector. Property management may be a lesser-known segment of the home services industry, but it can be personally and professionally rewarding.

The property management industry offers several advantages to high-achieving entrepreneurs, including low entry barriers, growing demand, and stability. Many property owners and landlords find themselves ill-equipped with the time and skills necessary to manage their rental properties effectively, and they readily turn to professional management firms for expertise.

If you decide to start a property management business, you can do it on your own, or you can consider buying an existing business or franchise. At Real Property Management^®, we are advocates of the franchise ownership approach as we have been helping franchisees get up and running quickly and supporting their growth for over 30 years.

Why The Property Management Industry?
Property management plays a significant role in the real estate industry. There never seems to be a shortage for demand as owners often prefer to shed the responsibilities for leasing, rent collection, evictions, and property maintenance and focus on other aspects of the business.

According to recent statistics provided by ipropertymanagement.com, rental housing makes up a significant portion of the overall housing market:

• 42.9 million or 34.5% of U.S. households rent their homes
• 100.9 million people live in rental housing
• 44% of rental properties are suburban
• 41% of rentals in the U.S. are urban

And whether owners are renting a residential home, condo, multi-plex or small apartment complex, the need for professional management services to help maximize rental income and minimize expenses and inefficiencies is essential.

Ideal Franchise Owner
Is Real Property Management a Good Fit for You?
Our ideal Franchisee is a connector, someone who enjoys working with people and their community, a strong communicator. A person of high integrity, given the large assets they will be managing/representing. Someone who is comfortable using technology as it will govern their daily activities. Sales and Real Estate experience is a plus but is not a requirement.

The System
World Class Support
When you own a Real Property Management franchise, you’ve got a team by your side. We support you with innovative systems and processes, professional marketing, volume purchasing power, comprehensive training, and a passionate support team. Combine this with the strength and power of a national brand and the largest network of peers in the property management industry, and you’ll be ready to start strong — and continue to grow.

The Value of Neighborly
A Family of Top Franchises
Real Property Management is proud to be a part of Neighborly, which is a community of independently owned and operated franchise businesses focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. We began as Dwyer Group 40+ years ago, launching with a single home services brand. Today, we’re the world’s largest home services franchisor of 19 brands and nearly 5,000 franchises collectively serving 10 million+ customers across nine countries.

Though Neighborly is a large franchise system, our culture is close-knit with a family business atmosphere. We’ve successfully developed an effective franchise business model that works well for everyone involved, and one of the reasons why is because we encourage feedback from our franchise owners and invite them to participate in corporate-level decisions. We attribute our continued growth to this culture, and to teaching and upholding our company's values.
