Belvoir to launch three new offices

Sept. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- “We would like to offer a very warm welcome to Raewyn Greer who plans to open Belvoir Aldershot this autumn, also to Jason Ou and Isabella Zhang who plan to open Belvoir Kingston upon Thames in

November, and to Brian and Lorotto Linehan who are on track to open their new Belvoir Southampton office in October,” says Belvoir CEO Dorian Gonsalves.

“In addition, I am delighted to announce that Rattan Singh has purchased the Belvoir Erdington office.

“All of these franchise owners recently completed a comprehensive three-week training course here at Central Office in Grantham and I am delighted that they are joining the network.

“Belvoir prides itself on recruiting extremely motivated, driven individuals or business partnerships and I am sure our new franchise owners will be a real asset to the group. We provide all new franchise owners with a comprehensive support package to help them succeed in what is a very buoyant lettings market. I wish everyone well for the future and look forward to watching the growth of these new Belvoir offices.”

Belvoir is still actively recruiting franchise owners to run their own letting agencies and places are already being booked on the company’s November induction course.

“There are still places available on the November 2013 training course and if anyone is interested in more information on how to become a successful letting agent I would encourage them to contact our recruitment office for a no-obligation, informal chat to find out more,” says Dorian.

“We have identified a number of new territories with great potential for a new Belvoir lettings agency, or there may be an opportunity for someone to purchase an existing Belvoir office if that is their preferred route to market. Our acquisition programme is also very active and I advise any independent agents who are looking for an exit strategy for their business to consider contacting Belvoir’s Central Office for a confidential discussion.”
