CURRENT FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 3
The franchisee reported a largely negative experience, highlighting very limited ongoing support and a low likelihood to recommend or repurchase. They stated that financial performance and ROI have been well below expectations. While they view the brand’s focus on targeting high-end homes as a potential strength, they find the marketing and customer acquisition programs ineffective—especially in gated communities and a saturated mid-market—and believe owners need stronger marketing and business development support.
