An agency that has been operating on the south coast for more than a quarter of a century is converting into a Your Move franchise.

Fahren Estate and Lettings Agents, in Bournemouth, will re-brand as part of the franchising deal to Your Move Fahren.

Your Move is part of LSL’s stable, which acquired Meyers Franchising earlier this month.

Business growth

Julian Ahmed, owner of Fahren Estate and Lettings Agents, (pictured left) says he is excited for his independent agency to convert to Your Move.

“Having looked at various franchise options, we felt the Your Move brand was the perfect fit for us,” he says.

“I wanted my independence, but added support and expertise from a national brand that would help future proof the company.

“The Your Move name has a strong reputation nationwide, its market power and marketing capabilities will help us to continue our growth across Bournemouth offering even more value to our customers.

“The opportunity for us to network with other franchise partners, share best practice and continue to learn while feeling part of a wider team has such a strong appeal to us and I know it will be a great fit.”

Dorset expansion

Fahren Estate Agents is aiming to expand further into Dorset, either independently or with other franchise partners.

Natalie Parks, Franchise Director of LSL Estate Agency Franchising, said: “We are delighted that Julian has chosen to convert to a Your Move franchise and we can’t wait to start working with him and the team.

“They have built a strong business with a great reputation across Bournemouth. He and the team will benefit from a wide range of services we provide, such as networking opportunities, cost savings and central support from our team of experts.”

The transition will take place in the coming months as the team undergo training and customers are transferred into the CRM systems, and it is hoped that the transition will be completed within the next six months.
