Best Real Estate Franchises to Buy in 2021

Are you considering investing in real estate franchise opportunities? Have we got a treat for you! A list of the very best real estate franchises to buy in 2021.

Deciphering Real Estate Brokerage Opportunities

There are many reasons why you should look for real estate franchises to buy. Some of the benefits include higher ROI, ownership cost, less competition, and lower cost of marketing. With technology taking over and new trends constantly emerging, it has never been easier to own and operate one of the many real estate brokerage franchise opportunities available.

However, investing in real estate franchise opportunities is not an easy task. There are so many to choose from, the range of businesses could be baffling. This is why we’ve put together this list of six of the best real estate franchises to buy.

  1. Property Management, Inc. (PMI)

Founded in 2008, Property Management Inc. is a business that specializes in rental property management and real estate services and has around 300 franchisees. It has been ranked as the number one property management franchise on multiple occasions by Entrepreneur Magazine.

When you buy a PMI franchise, you’ll be licensed to use its name and branding for 10 years. Your franchise will operate in a specific geographic location, offering services in the residential, commercial, association, and vacation rental sectors. You’ll have a territory classed as ‘standard’ (more the 100k population) or ‘local’ (less than 100k population).

You won’t have to be ‘hands-on’, though the franchisor does prefer you to be fully involved with your business. 

You could own a PMI franchise for around $50k, though this cost can be as much as around $200k or more, depending on your business model, location, and other factors.

  1. HomeVestors of America, Inc. (HoA)

If buying, rehabilitating and selling residential and commercial properties get you passionate, the HomeVestors of America, Inc. could be the perfect franchise for you to own. 

First established in 1996, more than 1,100 franchisees operate businesses under the HoA brand. While you will have a territory, it may not be exclusive to you. There are two franchise models in the HoA portfolio. The first is a full franchise, which has a higher initial fee, but lower ongoing fees than the second model, the associate franchise. You can operate either on a full-time or part-time basis.

As an HoA franchisee, you will be expected to participate fully in the business, with the initial franchise term being five years.

Very much a home-based business, the profit margins can be exhilarating, though this is reflected in total franchise cost that can be more than $400k.

  1. Hommati

Hommati is one of the youngest companies on our list of real estate franchises to buy in 2021. As a Hommati franchisee, you will provide real estate professionals with services such as 3D interactive tours, virtual staging, agent biography videos, and augmented reality services.

Hommati says it is opening a new franchise every seven days, with startup investment as low as around $23,000. Your monthly fixed costs are low, too, meaning high margins in a business that is fun. The services you provide are gaining in popularity, too, which bodes well for business potential.
