Sell the lifestyle….Sell the property….Sell the dream as an Overseas-Homes-Direct.com Agent

Want to sell overseas property but don´t know where to start?

Apply now - join I.A.N (International Agency Network) and become a ´franchise agent´ for Overseas-Homes-Direct.com, the new way to buy and sell property overseas.

Why an Overseas-Homes-Direct.com franchise?

As a member of I.A.N, you will receive;

A comprehensive business support package
Access to hot sales leads in your area
Marketing and point-of-sale materials
Use of the website and your own members area
Membership of NAEA and other relevant trade bodies
Ongoing monthly newsletters and networking events

Support Package

An unique benefit of becoming an agent is the extensive training package that you will receive from our team based in the UK and on the ground overseas. We have partnered with top legal and finance experts, to bring specific country advice and practical tips; resulting in a training package worth over £2500 per delegate.
Our initial 5-day residential training course will include;

The buying process and the property markets in ten countries
Legal and financial implications
Running your own business
Marketing
Sales techniques

Inspection trips and hands-on experience

With nearly 50% of UK buyers still choosing Spain as their destination of choice, all our agents will have the opportunity to visit key Spanish developments. At the end of your week´s training course, you will make your way to our escorted tour of Murcia and the Costa Calida resorts, where we will show you all the region has to offer, as well as having an opportunity to get to know staff and fellow agents over a glass of Rioja!

Converting leads to sales

In order to ensure that you convert your leads to sales, we also provide;

A comprehensive training manual, with hand-outs for your clients
Our "fact-finding consultation" - the key to understanding customer needs
Telephone and email support from our team, in the UK and overseas
Full online support, with news, and property data added on a daily basis

Earnings potential

The combination of training and an on-going supply of good quality leads, will allow you to offer properties to clients within days of completing your first week´s training. This will mean that you, (or your employed staff), can generate sales almost immediately. See our Financials and Comparisons document for more details.

We provide a transparent and attractive commission structure, where you receive up to 40% of the fee paid by the vendor
Our current agents/staff are achieving 1-5 property sales a month
With an average sale price of around £100,000, this would create a potential income of £2k to £20k per salaried employee per month
With most of your marketing costs covered by your monthly franchise fees, the overheads are minimal (typically supporting inspection visits for prospective clients, plus office and administration costs)

Note: We recommend having enough working capital to fund the venture for 3-6 months until the revenue from sales starts to come through.

Just a few reasons to apply now!
