NextHome is pleased to announce the newest addition to the franchise, NextHome Platinum Properties, based in Great Neck, New York! The brokerage is owned by entrepreneurial couple John and Fenella Kim. Originally, I planned on opening my own independent, John said. When we really looked into it though, building out the different platforms, bringing in teams, working with third-party companies involved incredibly high costs. For us to hit the streets running it was going t...o take us a year. Then he discovered NextHome. The company had all the processes and platforms in place as well as the content, John said. I am a tech person it’s what I’ve built my career on. I see that a lot of companies are falling back because they don’t have the streamlined technology that NextHome does. It costs a lot of money to get all that. To find a company that already had it all was wonderful. NextHome is a plug and play option. Today, John and Fenella are positioning NextHome Platinum Properties to be the leading progressive real estate company in the Long Island region.

The desire to build a legacy around her own brand and business prompted Becci to look into franchising options. Becci also knew that she wanted to create an opportunity where she could reinvest in herself and enjoy a greater degree of control over... her business. After a quick internet search, and a good dose of researching, Becci knew she had found the right franchise option with NextHome. I immediately loved the innovation of the back office, Becci said. NextHome offers incredible tools, and I love that NextHome has so many marketing techniques and so much to offer. Today, Becci is setting NextHome Realty Connection apart through cutting-edge marketing and client outreach. I love that NextHome gives me the tools to form and maintain relationships with my clients for years after I’ve helped them with their property, Becci said. Please join us in congratulating Becci on the opening of NextHome Realty Connection!
