Franchisee neighbours
Virtual Property World and Nationwide Town and Country Estates franchises have just taken on another back to back franchisee to an existing franchisee area. Alan Hlaverty has taken on the Ware area which backs up to the existing Stevenage franchise area.
As opposed to traditional franchises when new franchisees can be seen as competition to established franchisees VPW franchisees benefit from joint promotion and marketing. The more for sale boards up in adjoining areas helps both franchisees grow their own independent busines...Posted By: Andrew Jepson

WHY A FRANCHISE?
I have always had a keen interest in property and decided to explore a property based career move. A close friend who works in the industry for a national agency explained the costs of setting up my own agency which I found frightening.
I looked at traditional estate agency franchisees but felt the break even costs were very high with the associated office and staff costs. In a recession I wanted to make mo...Posted By: Andrew jepson

OUR SERVICE SUPPLIERS
Take a look at the latest TV commercial above showing on the following TV channels.

OUR SERVICE
The easiest way of looking at our service to homeowners is thinking of Virtual Property World as a traditional real estate agent without expensive high street shop frontages. We have taken all the best features of traditional real estate agents, removed all the layers of unnecessary costs, and married this to the modern day, low cost online agent, to create the perfect estate agency with low costs yet high service levels.
Traditional Estate Agents
As we all know using traditional real estate agents is expensive, but they have a local presence, and give personal service. Most of us use estate agents because it's easy and we don't have to pay until the property is sold.
We all feel we may be paying too much as homeowners to sell our property by selling through estate agents but, psychologically, we tell ourselves it's not really costing us anything, as the high cost is coming out of the profits we have made from selling our property. The true cost of selling our property only hits most of us when we see our solicitor's disbursement costs when it's too late.
The internet age has shown exactly how traditional agents market and sell properties. They mainly advertise on leading websites such as Rightmove , and deal with the resulting enquiries.
Online Agents
Internet based, online agents, offer far cheaper prices than high street estate agents but give less service, normally from an arm's length centralised office with few staff. Many are ambiguous about the length of advertising given to sell your property. Their websites can look very impressive, with lots of websites mentioned, but the low prices mean they cannot advertise your property for long on these sites. Extremely low prices do not necessarily equate to good value.
The cost to advertise your property on all the top web property portals is significant. We cannot understand how anyone can visit your home, take and prepare particulars, take photographs and virtual video tours, draw and produce various floor plans, advertise consistently on expensive website portals , find a buyer and negotiate a sale for a couple of hundred pounds. The figures just don't stack up.
The Perfect Estate Agent - The Perfect Solution
At virtual property world we combine the best of both high street estate agents and online estate agents to create the perfect estate agency for you.
As a home owner your home is your most valuable asset, you need to sell it at the lowest cost that will ensure success. This means combining the traditional estate agent's local presence with qualified NAEA agents on the ground who will visit your home. Unfortunately not everything can be sorted out by phone or email. We provide high levels of client service and use experienced qualified negotiators.
By taking advantage of the lower costs enjoyed by online agents, using modern marketing tools such as virtual video tour technology, (which no other estate agent in the UK has access to, at present), along with interactive floor plans and with the maximum possible, prolific website advertising, we are able to offer the most, cost effective way, of selling a property in the UK. We offer estate agency with low costs coupled with the highest levels of estate agency service possible.
Once we have received your instruction to sell your property, you will be allocated your own personal assistant at head office, who is at hand to help with any questions you may have about your property or business sale. They are responsible for contact channels between all parties such as sellers, buyers, company negotiators and conveyance professionals.
