COMMENTS: THIS CALGARY BASED INTEGRATED ONLINE/OFFLINE MAGAZINE FRANCHISE IS PART OF A WELL ESTABLISHED 35+ YEAR OLD NORTH AMERICAN BRAND THAT WAS VOTED THE #3 ADVERTISING FRANCHISE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA IN 2008. AS THAT RANKING WAS #3 IN ALL CATEGORIES, ARGUABLY IT WOULD HAVE RANKED #1 IN THE “REAL ESTATE” CATEGORY.

FROM LAUNCH UNTIL NOW (THEIR 8TH YEAR) THIS FRANCHISED BUSINESS HAS BEEN PROFITABLE AND HAS REMAINED PROFITABLE DURING THE RECENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

REPRESENTING REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES, THIS TURN-KEY BUSINESS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN OWNER THAT EITHER WANTS TO TAKE IT ON FROM A SALES CAPACITY AND GROW IT TO ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL, OR THAT WANTS TO BE SEMI-RETIRED AND SIMPLY MANAGE THE EXISTING OPERATION. THE BUSINESS IS SYSTEMIZED TO THE POINT IT RUNS LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE WITH THE CURRENT SALES DIRECTOR IN PLACE.

THIS FRANCHISE HAS LITTLE COMPETITION ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND IN CALGARY IT IS THE STRONGEST ADVERTISING VALUE PROPOSITION REAL ESTATE COMPANIES HAVE TO REACH POTENTIAL REAL ESTATE BUYERS, ACROSS THE WORLD. THE MARKETING SYSTEM PROVIDES SUCH A RICH, INTEGRATED MARKETING PROGRAM TO REALTORS AND THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY, THOSE ADVERTISERS RARELY OPT OUT (EVEN IN THE CURRENT MARKET).

THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHES 13-TIMES PER YEAR (EVERY 4 WEEKS A NEW ISSUE HITS THE MARKET) AND IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS SOUTHERN ALBERTA. ONLINE, THIS FRANCHISE AUTOMATICALLY SYNDICATES CLIENT’S LISTINGS TO MASSIVE WEB PARTNERS ACROSS THE WORLD.

NOW IN ITS EIGHTH YEAR, WITH THE MARKET RECOVERING, THE INCREASED CASH FLOW OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE OF THIS BUSINESS IS A MASSIVE. THE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY IS IDEAL FOR SOMEONE WITH VISION TO TAKE ON THIS VERY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY NOW AND TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

ABSOLUTELY NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE AND GROW THIS OPPORTUNITY, ALTHOUGH GOOD BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS ARE A DEFINITE ASSET FOR ONGOING CLIENT RETENTION AND GROWTH.

THE CURRENT SALES DIRECTOR WILL PROVIDE FULL OPERATIONAL TRAINING AND THE EDMONTON BASED CANADIAN FRANCHISOR WILL PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT.
