FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES
NOW AVAILABLE  FOR SELECT COLOMBIA CITIES 

 History: Our Realty Franchises are copies of our current and very successful Colombia Franchise operation in Cartagena, owned by Colombian, Paul Juan. We (I am a minor partner from the U.S.) began operations almost three years ago. The initial reaction to Paul’s company, among existing Cartagena real estate companies, was to ignore him.  Many still cannot believe how quickly Paul has become so successful through exclusive use of the Internet for both promotion and E-commerce.
 Cartagena realty companies are similar to other real estate companies throughout Colombia. Typically, the larger companies are located in

expensive high traffic street front areas or large office buildings. Their offices are staffed with many employees, usually young women, who are paid the minimum (or below minimum!) salary, plus a very small commission.  In addition to selling, these companies offer real estate management which includes: advertising, maintenance, bill paying, record keeping, collecting and forwarding rent money to owners. These companies advertise using local window signs, local and occasionally national newspapers.  Their Buyers are mostly local, coming from the surrounding area. They spend a great deal of time and money promoting their local image.  NOTE: Our Franchisees do not do rentals.
 The Cartagena Franchise promotes with websites that pre-sell:
1. the City.
2. the properties, and:
3. Paul. Other Colombia realty websites (if they have one), usually attempt to promote only the image of the company. They fail to promote the area or specific properties that are for sale. Their websites may not change for months, and therefore they have a very low probability of pre-selling anything! Most do not promptly respond to their E-Mail. Paul’s websites (one in Spanish and the other in English) often are up-dated as many as 2-3 times per day, AND, Paul answers his E-Mail 3 or 4 times a day!  When Buyer’s arrive in Cartagena, they already know about: the city, which  properties they want to see, and Paul. Pre-selling means the Buyer’s are: relaxed, informed, and ready to buy!
 Other Colombia real estate companies, which are oriented toward local marketing, are at best, helping to maintain the local economy through the re- circulation of Pesos. Ninety three per cent of Paul’s Buyers are from outside of Colombia. Our franchise marketing concept produces ECONOMIC GROWTH for the cities we serve. We are bringing NEW MONEY into the local economy. On the Internet, it costs no more to promote and pre-sell world-wide!
 Paul Juan Realty is a High Tech, 21st. Century example of how to make money using the Power of the Internet.  Paul has been told: “your websites have more information, more floor plans, more photos, more prices, more Buyers Tips and better current information than we have ever seen”.
Electronic business (which includes realty) on the Internet, is the fastest growing, multi-billion dollar industry in the world… period!  In the U.S. the Internet promotes more than 1,300,000 realty properties that are For Sale.
 Throughout much of Colombia apartment project developers are quietly expressing concern over a decline in sales. Buildings are not going up as fast. New projects are being delayed. If only their marketing efforts were directed to the entire world, things would now be very different. Most projects throughout Colombia do not even have a single English speaking employee! Most developers do not use Internet Home Pages. If they do have a Home Page, it generally appears only in Spanish.
 We are confident that our countrywide ColombiaRealty.Net Franchise will be a big help in selling new projects and re-sales. The success of our national Franchise will energize the market with new and proven concepts that produce amazing results while improving the economy of Colombia.
 Each of our Franchise offices is independently owned, which means that each Franchisee can sell their Franchise when they wish to retire.
 Each Broker is committed to cooperating with all professional real estate companies. We always welcome, and will always work with, good competition.
