Has anyone ever heard of REO RESQ? Is it a good company to get started with? -

I was doing a little research on Property Preservation and this Franchise Opportunity came up. The name of the company is called REO RESQ, has anyone heard of this company? Also, starting a Property Preservation Business, do you think a franchise opportunity is the way to go?

REO RESQ secures and maintains vacant properties throughout default and foreclosure by offering a comprehensive menu of property preservation business services. Their franchisees perform services such as re-keying of doors and repairing and/or replacing any structural problems that present an immediate safety threat.When it comes to franchising, much of the risk is reduced, or even eliminated. Although there are no guarantees, this business model is as close as you ll come to a guarantee of success. The same studies show that new franchise business startups rarely fail. The reason for this, quite simply, is because the often very long exercise of trial and error has already been done so many times that it s reached the inevitable point of trying and succeeding. The franchiser has made it through the learning curve and, along the way, has developed the success secrets for that business. Those who fail in franchising almost always were not committed to following the franchiser s systems. The main reason you buy a franchise is to minimize risk and to set yourself up for success. Traditionally, in a new startup, independent business, you are almost always operating from a shoot from the hip mentality, which can lead to failure. There is no past experience to draw upon, and it becomes challenging to control all aspects of the business. With a good, successful franchise model, you open yourself up to a deluge of information regarding all aspects of information, including financial assistance, site selection, and a wealth of knowledge from existing franchisees. Also, rapid growth is inevitable with the franchise model, which is only a good thing for a franchisee for many reasons, such as increased name/brand recognition and exposure to national advertising campaigns, which increase sales. Tremendous buying power because of constant expansion is also a major plus.
