1) Increase your income

2) Decrease your expenses

We have always helped our clients attract the best qualified tenants, negotiate lease terms that built value for the property over the long haul, and used innovative, targeted marketing techniques to get the availability of the space in front of the higest number of potential users possible. (INCREASE INCOME )

Now we have created the ASSET OPTIMIZATION DIVISION to help our clients reduce expenses. We have forged strategic partnerships with Landscape, janitorial and maintenance professionals in order to bundle services, reduce overhead, eliminate redundant positions and ultimately save our clients money.

Let us help with your bottom line from both sides!

In this time of declining property values and rising vacancies property owners are forced to make tough choices about the level and cost of services they provide to their tenants. Many landlords, seeing the vacancy rate rise in their office building are cutting maintenance, janitorial and landscaping services to compensate. Many “Big Box” retail buildings are empty and will be empty for many months in this economy, but still need to be maintained to preserve the value of the asset and keep the property attractive to prospective tenants. Many retail centers have lost anchor tenants and smaller strip centers are suffering unprecedented vacancies; these centers must be maintained in good and attractive condition to compete for the few tenants currently looking for space. That is the situation that sparked the creation of the Property Optimization Division of Franklin Commercial Group.

We have coupled our expertise in commercial real estate investment sales, leasing and management with the skills and expertise of experienced janitorial, landscape maintenance, building maintenance, and construction / repair professionals to create a dynamic service division with reduced overhead expenses and more efficient operations. These savings are passed on to the client resulting in good service at a significant cost savings. The client has the added benefit of one point of contact for all property issues. Services can be purchased as needed and we can customize a package for each situation.

My Green Parachute just announced that it will pay all the processing fees and MGP membership dues for an entire year for all Active Field Agents that sign up through their Certified Office between now and the end of May. This is HUGE! This means that agents can now test drive this incredible program for an entire year - potentially earn tens of thousands of dollars in additional transactions - at no cost.

Now is the time to talk to your broker about becoming a My Green Parachute Certified Office. Build your own referral army and receive referrals from across the country. We all need additional transactions in these challenging times. We can’t expect to thrive in this economy by doing the same old things, but you can make the downturn profitable for you. If you truly want to increase your transaction volume, check out www.mygreenparachute.com to learn how to do it at our expense. It doesn’t cost your Broker anything either.

The Designated State Broker for Arizona is looking for retiring agents as well as successful, innovative real estate offices to become Certified Offices for My Green Parachute.com.

My Green Parachute.com, is offering regional Certified Offices an opportunity to be the exclusive office for their region to accept referrals, and offer an exit strategy and residual income program to real estate professionals leaving the industry. Each Certified Office has an exclusive area, and is the only office that can accept referrals from MyGreenParachute.com. Certified Offices are provided with coaching on the launch and running the program in their office.

Currently, there is no cost in becoming a Certified Office. We are not your competition, we are here to help you grow your business.

We are also looking for agents that are either retiring from their careers or have made the decision to leave the industry. We will also coach you on how to continue to earn income from real estate while you start another career. We have no board fees, no MLS fees and no monthly desk fees.

Agents, if you would like more business in 2009, please take a look at our website and share it with your managing broker.

Because our unique format benefits everyone in the industry, we have been welcomed with open arms across the country by Broker owners, retiring agents, active agents and their clients. We currently operate in 11 states with another 11 pending active status by the end of 2008, we plan on having all 50 states participating by the end of 2009

Maybe it’s really an “Unlimited Function Referral Office” Over the past several weeks, since we launched My Green Parachute in Arizona, I have repeatedly fielded the question from Brokers “So, you’re a limited function referral office?” Well the answer is both yes and no. You see, we used the format of a LFRO to structure our business entity for licensing and NAR purposes; but unlike most LFRO’s, whose main purpose is to drive referrals to their in-house brokerage,  our programs are designed to help brokerages recapture lost income from agents leaving the business, help active agents acquire more transactions, help inactive agents generate income from their existing data base, and allow brokers and agents that want to slow down to “Retire with Royalty.” In the next few weeks I will be trying to highlight some of the programs that really set My Green Parachute apart. Below is an outline of our Retire With Royalty program - this one is HUGE.

If you need any more info or to learn how you can get involved, go to www.MyGreenParachute.com or call me directly at 602-434-6870. Oh, by the way, there is no cost to the brokerage to implement these programs. If you’re not in Arizona, I can put you in contact with the appropriate Designated State Broker.

Retire With Royalty

What do you do when it’s time to retire?

Until now you had 2 choices: 1) Try to sell your your book of business to a struggling agent (who probably won’t care for your clients that you’ve developed through years of service and nurturing anywhere as well as you did) for a few bucks - maybe enough for a nice vacation. 2) Just walk away with no residual income from your real estate career (Hope you planned well for this one, especially with the loss of value of our investment portfolios) — well, I guess you could just keep working as long as you’re able - then?

But fianlly, a real way to retire from a successful real estate career. Look what MyGreenParachute.com can do:
