Fulham-based estate agents launch first franchise outlet in West Kensington

Sept. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Inesse Ivanova, proprietor of Gilli West Kensington, and Vladimir Romaniv, Gillis’s founder, announced the opening of their new agency on Monday, 27th September 2010.

"Prior to the launch we carried out a market research and found that services offered by other agents in the area are generally of a mediocre quality and a poor value for money. We are aiming to satisfy our customers’ needs by offering the most competitive fees and the best value for money services in the area. ‘All-around customer focus’ will be applied in working with home sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants. This will enable Gilli West Kensington to quickly become the first choice agency in the area," said Mrs Ivanova.

“After a successful year in Fulham we are glad to find the best possible candidates for our first fully independent franchise in the West Kensington. The success of Fulham’s operations has proved the advantages our ‘no frills, offices or cars’ business model. We also had the opportunity to improve our procedures and processes, as well as further develop our technological solutions. As the result we can offer our franchisees our system - GILLI VANTAGE which includes policies, procedures and techniques as well as fully integrated property portal, mobile and CRM solutions designed to enable franchisees to compete more effectively in the property sales, lettings and management markets,” said Mr Romaniv

“We have reviewed a number of franchise propositions available in the market prior to deciding to go with Gilli,” added Mrs Ivanova. “In the first instance we were attracted by Gilli’s brand and social responsibility charter, but it is Gilli Vantage franchise system which made us to make the final decision. It enabled us to start our own residential estate agency with full support from the franchisor eliminating risks and uncertainties associated with doing it alone and without major initial capital investment. Gilli’s business model allows us to leverage our highly skilled sales staff with Gilli’s technology effectively. We are aiming to become cash-flow positive within months, rather than years of the launch. This is particularly important in the current economic environment because business it is very difficult to get start-up funding.”
