Everything Pretoria North has to offer a real estate franchisee

For any entrepreneur, a real estate franchise can be an ideal chance to become one's own boss. This month, we're putting Pretoria North in the spotlight and discussing why opening a Jawitz Properties franchise in this area could be a life-changing opportunity. Jawitz Properties Franchise Director, Russell Berkman and Franchise Sales Manager, Eon Du Toit, provided the lowdown.

An ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs

When asked what makes the Jawitz Properties franchise model an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur looking to invest in a real estate business, Du Toit explains that the Jawitz team prides itself on being not the biggest, but the best. "We have various models available to give potential franchisees the best possible options," he says.

To this, Berkman adds that the Jawitz franchise model has been proven and respected since 1969. "We offer hands-on support and back-up in marketing and business management as well as training," he explains. "Between our 'always on' e-learning and bi-monthly Power Hour coaching webinars, our franchisees are equipped with everything that they need to succeed."

Why Pretoria North?

Berkman and Du Toit highlight the advantages that the Pretoria North locale has to offer a franchisee. "The value for money in Pretoria North's property market is hard to beat," explains Berkman. "Property prices range from two-bedroom apartments for less than R450 000 to upmarket four-bedroom homes in the R3 000 000 range. From a buyers' point of view, Pretoria North boasts easy access to all Pretoria's amenities, as well as value-for-money properties in that affordable 'sweet spot'."

Du Toit adds that over and above property purchases, the strong rental market in the area will provide a stable income for a Jawitz franchise. "The area boasts a vibrant property market," he shares. "Even in times of economic decline, Pretoria North has remained stable in terms of sales and property prices, and there is a huge variety of new developments in the area."

New developments in Pretoria North include the following:

• 33 @ View Security Estate - Rietvalleirand
• Zambezi Manor Lifestyle Estate - Montana
• Oxford Heights - Montana
• Royal Haven - Montana
• Roodepark Eco City - Roodeplaat
• The Retreat Retirement Apartments
• Bella Rosa Security Estate - Pretoria North

In addition, Berkman adds that a Jawitz Properties franchise in the Pretoria North area will benefit from the company's strong presence in Silverlakes, Pretoria East, Pretoria Central and Centurion.

Factors making property franchise ownership a great career

We asked Du Toit and Berkman to provide us with their lowdown on why property franchising makes a great career. In response, Du Toit explained that buying a Jawitz franchise means becoming part of a family in which integrity, support and exceptional service is the norm. "When you join us, you can create your own destiny and career with full peace of mind," he shared.

Berkman's take is that the rewards of being a franchisee far outweigh the risks. In his words, "franchising is the fastest-growing global manner to become the master of one's own fate. A Jawitz Properties franchise gives you access to templates, contracts, support and expertise."

Du Toit adds that now is the time to buy a property franchise. "The property market is currently very receptive towards new franchises and innovative agents. Jawitz Properties franchises tick all the boxes, so come and talk to us," he invites.

Advice from the experts

There are many factors that go into being a successful franchisee, and as with most things in the property industry, the first step is to do your homework. "Before you become a franchisee, you need to make sure that the values of the franchise organisation match your personal values," explains Berkman. "You'll also need to have sufficient capital and a well-thought-out business plan." He also adds that real estate is not a get rich quick scheme. "Implement your business model consistently and invest in your people and your area marketing," he advises.

In Eon du Toit's words, if you join the Jawitz Properties family as a franchisee, "the only limit you will have is the open sky." Contact us today and find out more about becoming a Jawitz Properties franchisee in the bustling Pretoria North property market.
