Revolutionary real estate franchise to save SA vendors a fortune

Australia’s fastest growing real estate franchise is set to save South Australians selling their homes thousands of dollars with the release of a master franchise and franchises to the state.

Go Gecko Property Sales, Australia’s largest full-service real estate agency franchise offering capped, fixed-price commission, has set its sights on opening 24 new offices with a good share of these in South Australia.

Recognised as a business success, Go Gecko property franchise has been highly rated in the ‘BRW Fastest franchises’ list of the 40 top performing franchises across Australia for 2009.

Chief executive officer Mr Geoff Doyle said success in other states had seen Go Gecko sell in excess of 3000 homes and save property sellers more than $18 million since establishing five years ago.

“Go Gecko offers property sellers the opportunity for great savings on commission, and at he same time an excellent business investment to franchisees,” said Mr Doyle.

“We expect that people selling property in South Australia will save a minimum of $3,000 in commission – based on 2.5% commission on the median house price of $330,000,” he said.

“Our capped, fixed-price commission will stop the confusing and complex practice property sellers go through to compare the different commission rates charged by real estate agents.

“We offer the full service that vendors have come to expect when selling a property, but our commission is capped at $5950 – regardless of how high the selling price is for the property.

“These great savings mean home owners seek out our Go Gecko real estate agents to sell their properties, resulting in listings literally walking through the doors of our franchise offices.

“We have taken out the hardest part of any real estate agency enabling franchise owners to build a business with strong and recurring income streams.

“We have also taken out some of the most disliked jobs and roles which force many real estate agents out of the industry – making cold calls and door-knocking is a task of the past.

Go Gecko master franchise and franchise opportunities are open to people with good business acumen, as well as sales and marketing skills and the ability to manage a team.

Real estate revolution...

“People with a background in real estate are a great success with the Go Gecko business, but equally as successful are franchisees with backgrounds in financial advice, accounting, trades, franchises in other industries, and small to medium business owners.

“The internal support from Go Gecko is an important part of this success as we have specifically designed and integrated software to keep franchise operations simple and to support daily tasks.

“Our cost structures are designed to run offices lean and inexpensively, while providing excellent rewards for the performance of the sales teams.

“The unique Go Gecko brand adds another great point of difference with its distinctive colours and gecko image which is increasingly recognised and respected in the property industry and among home buyers and sellers.

Go Gecko aims to revolutionise the real estate industry by setting new standards and building a company on honest and good customer service. Go Gecko has 23 offices in the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland, and was established in 2003.
