Franchise Numbers Continue to Rise for Reston, Va.-Based National Real Estate Franchise Firm

Reston, VA – Oct. 4, 2006 — Envirian LLC, the national technology-based real estate franchise brokerage, headquartered in Reston, Va., is experiencing a healthy gain in the number of independently-owned offices around the country, according a company spokesman.

"Since we began offering franchise opportunities in January 2005, Envirian offices are now open in 12 states with several of these offices serving multiple territories," G. Dean Wood, President and CFO of Envirian LLC, said.

The company, founded in 2004 to fulfill the promise of real estate technology, offers a unique business model and approach to residential real estate brokers and agents that includes: technology-based real estate brokerages, 100 company leads per agent per year, 70/30 commission splits, no referral fees on leads, and a collaborative corporate culture.

Franchises are currently operating in Arizona, California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Nearly a dozen additional investors are currently finalizing franchise agreements with Envirian and are scheduled to open offices around the country within the next six months, Wood noted.

"The Envirian model, which marries technological innovation with a renewed focus on teamwork and customer satisfaction, is striking a chord among residential real estate professionals," Wood said. "The key to our overall system is that it provides immediate information on leads to agents who in turn provide immediate contact with consumers. People on the Web are ‘now' people. Our system allows agents to do this, and our culture provides a work environment that allows agents to thrive," he noted.

According to Wood, Envirian is the only national company to provide a continuous supply of Internet generated leads to its agents and offer a generous commission split. "This Internet lead technology and Envirian's lean corporate structure and commitment to keeping the operation simple are what have been attracting so many folks to us," he said.

"Registered users any of our Envirian sites can view listed properties on the map that are color coded by price, making the old real estate adage of finding the least expensive property in the more expensive locations easier," he added.

"A major feature of the Envirian model is that with our system there is no competition within the agent ranks since our system automatically rotates the delivery of leads to agents as they come in," Wood explained.

Other key attracting features include Envirian's proprietary Web-based lead manager system, which enables brokers and agents to conduct more business, communicate easier with clients and each other, as well as better manage the process of real estate sales, Wood added. The company's business model also incorporates top position lead procurement, near instantaneous lead delivery to transaction management, and after-sale client services, he noted.
