When looking at franchises, do you get tired of hearing that it's a "new opportunity" or it's a "ground floor opportunity?" How about a new 30-year-old ground floor opportunity that is the 4th largest privately-held real estate company in the nation? Crye-Leike is now sharing this well-earned status by franchising its system for start-up and existing real estate companies.

Since 1999, 33 franchises have joined the Crye-Leike network, strengthening the Crye-Leike brand in markets where it would not normally open a company office because of market size and location. Franchises are currently located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Our two-tier franchise fee for communities above and below 10,000 in population makes our concept very affordable for either a new start up or an existing office conversion. Franchising provides a way for real estate brokerages to grow and build their networks. Let us know if your ready to grow.

Many independent real estate brokers feel that they are losing ground against their competitors and must take dramatic changes to stay competitive.

One of the most proven ways to jump start an existing business is to franchise. There are many issues to address when deciding if franchising is right for you. The most commonly-asked questions brokers ask are regarding business interruption. It has been our experience that franchising has immediately enhanced agent recruiting and listings.
