LSL Estate Agency Franchising says it’s actively seeking “ambitious agents across the UK who are looking to grow their businesses.”

The industry giant says franchisees benefit from being part of a well-recognised national network while maintaining the independence of running their own local office. They get access to LSL’s “industry expertise, trusted brands, and vast support systems, helping them enhance their operations and achieve sustainable growth.”

Now former PropTech expert Annalese Walmsley has been recruited by LSL to spearhead the recruitment of new franchisees and form partnerships with independent agencies across the UK. 

Walmsley – who has held senior roles within the property and PropTech sectors – is charged with expanding the Your Move and Reeds Rains brands, offering agents the opportunity to join or convert to a well-established network with access to support and expertise.

She says: “I’m excited to be joining LSL Estate Agency Franchising at such a pivotal time. Our goal is to welcome new franchisees and partners into the network, helping them grow their businesses by leveraging the strength of our national brands and we are committed to providing the support and resources needed to make it a success.

“There are always challenges for independent estate agents, but franchising with LSL offers solutions that are difficult to find elsewhere. We provide access to investment, technology, and marketing tools that can accelerate business growth and profitability. We are also launching an Associate Model, giving agents even more flexibility while still benefiting from our extensive support network.”

LSL Estate Agency Franchising has more than 300 territories around the UK across brands including Your Move, with 150 territories, as well as Reeds Rains, Intercounty, Davis Tate and Thomas Morris.
