    How do i buy a Real Estate Franchise??
    I havent got a Real Estate licence yet, im in Sydney NSW and have found real estate courses just near my house for around $3500 to get a licence.6 weeks and i would be licensed.
    That is the Certificate 4 Course.
    Then i want to buy a Franchise..anyone know the cheapest and start up costs.
    I did ring up the Remax head office today and they asked me what area I was interested in opening and representing their Company and when I said "Walgett" they hung up on me.
    Their websites dont give you franchise costs only their Sales pitch on why they re the best Company etc.

    I do like Ray White website and their training for new franchisees.

    Check out

    One agency
    Ozwide realty
    McGrath.

    They all have low up-front and ongoing cost. You will get to keep major chunk of commission.

    I will have to research them all guess once I obtain the appropriate licensing..not to mention the areas i can buy in.
    I think my local area (City) has a few franchises but surprisingly the City is mainily dominated privately named Real Estate Companies with a lot of foreign Asian influence.

    Trouble with Walgett is that most of it is Crown lease... not much to sell...
    I hope this helps,
    cheers

    Actually i have been getting a lot of experience looking at Ips and talking to Real Estate agents some very rude some nice .
    Im sure i can do a lot better than them and be far more polite and treat people with respect better than some of these cowboys.

    I wouldnt bother with a franchise i would go it alone.

    there's more to life than working
    Go for it. There's nothing to lose. The top agents earn $3m+ commission a year. You and Moshe could double that.
