RE/MAX offered real estate buying, selling and renting options to customers and franchise deals to property agents at the Times Property Show, held recently at the Grand Bhagwati, Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2012 -- RE/MAX participated in the Times Property Show, held on 27th & 28th Jan 2012 at The Grand Bhagwati Hotel, Ahmedabad. It was one of the most targeted real estate events held in India, and attracted around 3000 footfalls. There were around 15 real estate companies participating in the show, including Bakeri, Magnanimous Infrastructure Pvt Ltd., Greenland, Applewoods, Godrej Group, Safal, Pacifica, Adani Group to name a few.

The event was all about selling properties such as residential, penthouses, commercial properties, offices, showrooms and even farm houses to customers. To attract customers, the property developers and companies came up with several offers such as 100% loan, discounted price on instant booking, etc. However no company other than RE/MAX had on offer resale and ready to possess properties in the commercial & residential space.

For the first time RE/MAX Gujarat participated in a Times property show. RE/MAX is a real estate franchise company in the property brokerage business; it offers franchise business for sale. It also helps people in buying (fresh or resale) and renting commercial and residential properties.

The key takeaway from the Expo was that India, as an emerging economy is being looked at as a favourable destination to enter. Compared to other countries India has been less hit by the slowdown and has a burgeoning market for consumers which will attract investors from other sectors to enter India. One of the key requirements for any entrant will be real estate. Thus in the long run property prices will appreciate and the investor in real estate stands to gain.

RE/MAX is also looking for people who are interested in a new business opportunity in the form of joining the network as new business franchise in real estate or as a property franchise agent. Companies in the show offered all kinds of real estate services to customers. RE/MAX got more than 1000 inquiries for buying, selling or renting properties. The vast amount of property leads generated indicate that there is more demand of buying properties then selling or renting. The show seemed to be extremely successful by the count of numbers of visitors attending over the span of just two days.

RE/MAX organized a couple of events recently in Western India to educate real estate agents, investors, and those looking for small business ideas or franchise opportunities in real estate in Mumbai, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

RE/MAX organized a seminar titled "Start your own business today – Real estate broking" at Juhu Jagruti Hall, Mumbai on 15th November 2011 and at MCCIA Hall, Pune on 21stNovember 2011. This seminar revolved around fundamentals of entrepreneurship and tips on how to run a successful real estate broking business. It is a natural desire to start a real estate franchise and take advantage of small business opportunities as it sounds like easy and fast money—after all, you just need to bring the buyer and seller together. If it were so easy, all property brokers and property agents would be successful Real Estate Entrepreneurs.

The Indian real estate market is set to become one of the largest and fastest growing sectors in the next decade. On one hand, people are enthusiastic about American and European investors turning to India to invest in real estate, but on the other hand, local property brokers and agents are still working in an unorganized real estate industry in India.

The speakers rightly pointed out that the real estate sector is slowly but surely getting organized, just like all other sectors of the Indian economy and they enlightened the audience on how to see opportunities amidst challenges. A brief introduction on the RE/MAX model and international best practices in real estate was also shared in the seminar.

Further, the speakers emphasized the fact that a budding entrepreneur should always have a vision to be successful in any field. They taught Entrepreneurial Skills (to run a successful business one needs certain skills like leadership, innovation, and risk taking ability), Real Estate Knowledge (market trends, best practices in property transactions, competitors), Business Plan (key aspects that need to be taken care of to successfully grow a business globally), Resources for Small Business (what facilities are needed and how to optimize them) and last but not the least Customer Expectations and Behaviour (the current and future trends of how customers will demand broking services).

The event got a very good response from the invitees who were from varied backgrounds such as CEOs, managers and executives looking to enter the Real Estate Broking business as entrepreneurs, existing Real Estate Professionals looking to scale up their business, freshers in the Property and Real Estate Industry and many more.

The featured speakers were:
