The Franchise That Got Me The House of my Dreams
From being a franchisee, I’ve been able to put my son through university and, as a family, move into a beautiful property on an acre of land – none of this would’ve been possible without EweMove.
From being an account executive at major multi-national companies to working part time as a teaching assistant, a series of important experiences led Rachel Childs to being in the right place at the right time when she found EweMove.
Rachel, franchisee of EweMove Sleaford and Grantham, has always been driven to achieve the successes she knows she is capable of.
Throughout her years as a EweMove franchisee, Rachel has been able to stay close to her family while having the immense sense of satisfaction of running a successful business.
Rachel has even tasted the EweMove experience for herself, with her success in the property market putting her into a position to move her own family into the house of their dreams.
“Put simply, I didn’t want to be an employee anymore – I wanted to have complete control of my own business. Having enjoyed a diverse career in very people-orientated roles, I knew finding a vocation that would enable me to nurture relationships and give people an honest, personable experience would bring me the most satisfaction. That’s when I found EweMove. I was so impressed by the business model that I sold an investment property and reinvested the money in opening my own franchise. I knew it would be a good investment and I’m so proud to say, five years later, that I was right!
What works perfectly as a EweMove franchisee is that I work for myself, but I’m not by myself. From the word 'go', The Sheep Pen has been brilliant at sharing so much valuable information, and they always have the answers to any question I have. I might be over five years into the journey, but my own training and development has been continual - there’s always new scenarios that emerge, and the Sheep Pen has always been there to help when I’ve needed them.
But it’s not just The Sheep Pen. The franchise network – or ‘the flock’ - is incredibly supportive and collaborative too.
We have a very healthy turnover, which has enabled a significant amount to be put into business development as well as salaries. As a team, we list about 10 properties every month, and year on year we’ve seen proportional growth.
But the real satisfaction I’ve experienced as a franchisee has been the opportunity to be instrumental in people's life changing experiences of moving home and being there every step of the way as I’ve got so many to where they need to be."
