There is no denying that running your own real estate business can be very challenging, but at Starr Partners we help eliminate the day-to-day pressures and stresses, allowing you to concentrate on what you're best at: selling or managing property. Below are just a few of the reasons why you should consider a Starr Partners franchise:
Marketing
Starr Partners have recently launched the Franchisee Marketing Kit which is essentially an A-Z of how to market a real estate franchise business, assisting in increasing sales and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. It is designed to be an integral part of your franchise business plan, enabling you to define how your office will successfully engage with your clients and future prospects.
The marketing landscape is ever-evolving, which is why we are constantly providing fresh and relevant material to help promote your real estate business. Naturally we still want you to be creative and innovative yourself, but as part of your franchise agreement with Starr Partners we are very happy to assist you in the design and implementation of any marketing initiatives or strategies.
Public Relations
The main goal of our public relations team is to enhance the company's reputation, and to present you to the world in the best possible light. Their primary role is to create and to protect our desired image and reputation.
The real estate world of today is extremely competitive. Our franchisees need to have an edge that makes them stand out from the crowd, something that makes them more appealing and interesting to both the public and the media. The public are the buyers of the product or service, and the media are partly responsible for selling it. Our Public Relations team, provide an inclusive service to all Starr Partners franchises that helps give the public and media a better understanding of how your real estate business operates.
Technology
Given that Real Estate is amongst the most popular search criteria on the internet it is surprising how slow the industry has been at fully embracing new technology. We have always been a franchise group that leads rather than follows, and are constantly being recognized as being at the forefront of modern technologies. Our new website features some industry-first initiatives which have taken the real estate industry by storm.
In addition to the new website, Starr Partners are very proud to have launched Australia's first iPhone and Android property search Apps.
Training
"If you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. If you teach a person to fish, you feed them for a lifetime". - Confucius
Professional development is something that is imperative in the life of any real estate agent and is something that we take very seriously. Our goal is to establish a 'training roadmap' which sets out a strategic game-plan tailored around your individual learning needs and requirements. We have recently committed to an exciting training partnership with Lee Woodward at the Real Estate Academy and continue to invest heavily in this area.
Support
Our Head Office support is second to none, as we are always available to assist our franchisees whenever and wherever possible. Despite always being at the other end of the telephone, we are also very more hands-on in our approach, with regular office visits and frequent interaction.
Starr Partners also offer a unique franchise performance benchmarking scheme, which allows our franchisees to see how they compare to other local offices and the market in general.
Network
Unlike a lot of our competitors, Starr Partners actively encourages solidarity amongst its offices. We regularly meet up and converse to discuss topical matters, often sharing the latest ideas and initiatives whenever possible. For any new Principals joining us, we also offer our mentoring program, where you will be paired with one of our more experienced leaders, providing you with a unique insight into the secrets of their success.
Our office network is growing all the time, however our goal is not about being the biggest, it's about being the best!
