Neighborly® Heats Up for National Homeownership Month in Raleigh-Durham, One of the Hottest Housing Markets

Local Neighborly community of home service experts outlines top projects to help homeowners upgrade their spaces during the most popular season to sell.

RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C. — An estimated 5.95 million existing homes will be sold in the U.S. in 2022, and Neighborly®, the world’s largest franchisor of home service brands, is calling the hot residential market in Raleigh-Durham one of the top regions for a strong return on the investment.

In conjunction with National Homeownership Month, the most popular time to put a home on the market, the home team for home services at Neighborly just released its guide for the top “Tips for Getting Your Home Market-Ready.”

The Neighborly checklist comes at a perfect time following a joint report from the Wall Street Journal and Realtor.com that ranks Raleigh as one of the top 20 emerging housing markets for investors and homeowners alike.

The checklist includes expert advice from Neighborly’s Raleigh-Durham network of trusted brands and outlines the top professional services that Raleigh-Durham homeowners should consider when preparing their home to sell this summer. These local owner-operators whose teams are vetted in a variety of specific services are also backed by Neighborly’s Done Right Promise™ to ensure the highest quality of work.

The checklist includes but is not limited to projects such as:

Bringing your home up to code
Fixing plumbing issues
Upgrading kitchen appliances
Scheduling a home inspection
Pressure washing the home exterior
Replacing outdated light fixtures
Adding a kitchen pantry

“If you look around your home and see scuffed walls, broken appliances or overgrown flower beds that need attention, these shortcomings can lead to lower offers from a homebuyer even in booming housing markets,” said David Burdine, a local Raleigh-Durham owner of Mosquito Joe of Western Wake County, a Neighborly company. “But not every project has a DIY solution. That’s why our local network of Neighborly home service experts is committed to assisting homeowners in the Triangle area in making the necessary home upgrades needed before their homes hit the market to ease the stress of the selling process, especially during the most popular season to sell.”

In addition to utilizing the checklist, new customers in the Raleigh-Durham area will receive $20 off their first service when scheduling an initial appointment with one of Neighborly’s 17 brands in the area. Terms and conditions apply. Connect with Neighborly by visiting neighborly.com/raleigh-durham or by calling (833) 733-1096.

“Selling a home should be an exciting time for homeowners,” said Mike Bidwell, President and CEO of Neighborly. “Our hope is that with our checklist, Raleigh-Durham residents will trust calling upon our Neighborly service professionals who are driven by our Done Right Promise™ to take care of their home improvement projects, making the experience of putting a home on the market positive and enjoyable.”

Anago Cleaning Systems Welcomes New Master Franchise in Nebraska

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-06-01T10:33:21-04:00June 1st, 2022|Tags: anago cleaning systems, commercial cleaning franchise system, commercial cleaning service, Master franchise opportunities|

State’s Second Largest Black-owned Employer Takes the Helm, Creating Pathways to Small Business Ownership.

OMAHA, Neb. — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 1,700 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its newest franchise opening in the great state of Nebraska. The husband-and-wife team, Luper and Brittanie Akough, will lead the Anago Master Franchise expansion in the Cornhusker State with an immediate focus on the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas.

“We are extremely blessed and proud to bring Anago to Nebraska,” said Luper and Brittanie. “The businesses making money today are the ones that have proven survival in a variety of economic climates. Commercial cleaning fit the bill, and once we studied and learned about Anago’s Master Franchise model, we knew this was our next business venture, allowing us to continue a passion for creating small business opportunities and accessibility to fellow Nebraskans.”

A Nebraska native, Luper launched his entrepreneurial career in 2012 when he opened his first insurance agency. Starting with zero clients and a will to succeed, Luper grew his business into a profitable endeavor, allowing him to explore other revenue sources. When Luper launched into building a real estate portfolio and flipping houses, he found further success professionally and personally when he met Brittanie. The two would get married and build a family with two children while continuing to diversify into other business opportunities.

Most recently, Luper and Brittanie launched an Omaha-based logistics company facilitating last-mile delivery routes for Amazon. Wanting to add a more secure, recession-resistant business to their portfolio, they discovered Anago’s Master Franchise model. They were sold on its long-standing reputation, business model, and award-winning franchise support system.

Luper admits that Anago’s Master Franchise model was something he’d never seen before in franchise operations. As the concept resembled the insurance business model, he had found success in since 2012, he was further convinced that this was the route to go.

Still in their early 30s and very involved in community development, especially within the African American community, Luper and Brittanie’s focus is to ensure that small business ownership opportunities are widely accessible for people in underserved communities. The Anago expansion will provide access to entrepreneurial pathways that are reasonable and profitable for those willing to work hard for themselves.

Nebraska continues to be an economy built on diverse industries, with food processing, insurance, and telecommunications leading the way. Recently, Anago Cleaning Systems was recognized by Franchise Business Review as a leading, recession-resistant franchise for its strength, viability, and profitability during strained economic times. Like all businesses, Anago experienced a slowdown in the early months of the pandemic but recovered quickly, with specialized disinfection services emerging as one of the most requested cleaning programs.

“Luper and Brittanie are exemplary Master Franchise owners, each bringing unique business, finance, and leadership qualities and experience to the Anago family,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “We’re excited to see them both build a network of small business ownerships for Nebraska-based entrepreneurs ready for the opportunity to own their own Anago commercial cleaning unit franchise.”

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems. Anago has earned top positions for several years running in all the magazine’s main rankings. These include Franchise 500, Fastest Growing Franchise, Top-Ranked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, and Top Global Franchise. Anago Cleaning Systems’ continued inclusion within these rankings demonstrates the brand’s rising popularity with both franchisees and clients.

“Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the master franchise system, allowing successful mid-career professionals to operate their regional franchises while allowing small businesses to invest in their success,” added Povlitz. “Both levels simply focus on running their business while we provide the marketing assistance, support, and critical tools to grow. As an industry, we expect to see continued growth and expansion in 2022 and beyond.”

The Anago Nebraska office is located at 5421 North 103^rd Street, Omaha. To explore unit franchise opportunities with Anago of Nebraska, contact Luper and Brittanie at 402-509-7988 or brittanie@anagonebraska.com.

About Anago Cleaning Systems

Anago Cleaning Systems is an international commercial cleaning franchise brand. Founded in 1989, Anago has set the worldwide standard in business support and structure for local and regional companies to provide unparalleled cleaning services to businesses.

Caring Senior Service partners with Veterans Care Coordination to raise awareness of home care benefit for veterans

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-05-24T14:02:43-04:00May 24th, 2022|Tags: assistance to seniors, Caring Senior Service, non-medical senior home care services, senior care|

The home care company will work with the privately-owned veterans advocacy group to ensure qualified veterans receive the benefits they need to age in place.

SAN ANTONIO — Caring Senior Service, a non-medical home care services franchise, announced today it has entered into a national partnership with Veterans Care Coordination™ to raise awareness for veterans and their families who may be eligible for the Pension with Aid and Attendance benefit through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

“Our mission is to allow all seniors to stay healthy, happy and at home, and the Aid and Attendance benefit is in keeping with that mission,” said Caring Senior Service founder and CEO Jeff Salter. “We owe a debt of gratitude to our nation’s veterans and are honored that we can repay their service by raising awareness about this benefit. Caring is an organization dedicated to assisting veterans and their surviving spouses, and we are looking forward to providing them with the home care services they need.”

The Pension with Aid and Attendance benefit provides an increased pension for home care or other medical expenses for Veterans and surviving spouses who meet eligibility requirements. Conditions of eligibility include active duty during wartime, honorable discharge, non-service-related medical conditions, as well as income and asset limits.

The partnership will allow Caring Senior Service to connect eligible veterans and surviving spouses with VCC’s experienced team, who can assist with the application process and with monitoring and maintaining eligibility requirements once approved. VCC also assists in connecting veterans who are not eligible for Pension with Aid and Attendance with resources and care options which provides Caring Senior Service with opportunities to serve more veterans through this partnership.

“This partnership with Caring provides an opportunity for veterans who may not otherwise receive home care to benefit from home care services,” said VCC President Jeff Schweikert. “We appreciate the commitment of Caring Senior Service to helping veterans and their families.”

VCC was founded in 2011 by CEO Kyle Laramie after he discovered a little-known benefit called the Pension with Aid and Attendance. VCC’s mission is driven by the memory of Laramie’s late grandfather, Norbert Laramie, a World War II Veteran who unnecessarily missed out on essential VA benefits simply because his family wasn’t aware of the opportunities that were available to assist him in his golden years. For more information, visit https://vcchc.com/.

Caring Senior Service provides home care services which can include companionship, meal preparation, personal care, medication reminders, assistance with errands and appointments, light housekeeping, and respite care. For more information, visit www.caringseniorservice.com/.

About VCC

Veterans Care Coordination™, LLC., is a healthcare-based organization, not associated with any government agency, that assists eligible veterans and surviving spouses in application, monitoring and maintenance of the Pension with Aid & Attendance benefit to help cover medical expenses and home care services. VCC partners with home care agencies and referral sources nationwide to serve veterans and surviving spouses. For more information, visit https://vcchc.com/.

About Caring Senior Service

Caring Senior Service is a non-medical home care services company based in San Antonio, Texas. Founded by CEO Jeff Salter in 1991, the company provides assistance to seniors, the disabled population and any adult who may need help with the tasks of everyday living such as bathing, running errands and preparing food. After adding locations throughout Texas in the 1990s, the company extended its reach through franchising in 2002. It now boasts nearly 50 locations in the United States. Its non-profit “Close the Gap in Senior Care” program started in 2021 to raise awareness of the overlooked and underserved aspects of senior care. This program was launched when Salter rode an electric bike more than 9,000 miles to each Caring Senior Service location nationwide to raise awareness of home modifications needed to avoid fall risks among the senior population.

Locally-Owned Home Improvement Franchise Meets Increasing Demand by Targeting New Territories Across North America.

BLUE ASH, Ohio — Handyman Connection – North America’s premier business liaison connecting customers to local craftsmen in their home community– is announcing plans to continue its expansion through the offering of new franchising opportunities. Handyman Connection provides over 430+ different services staffed by a top-tier team of professional craftsmen who are eager to assist with almost any home improvement or repair need. The brand currently operates in 60+ different service areas throughout North America and aims to open 20 new locations by the end of 2022.

Since its founding in 1991, homeowners across North America have been calling on Handyman Connection for its professional craftsmanship and exemplary customer service. Each Handyman Connection franchise is locally owned, operated, and backed by the brand’s integrated operating platform that allows for seamless customer and employee management, routing, and scheduling.

“If there is one thing for certain in our industry at this point in time, it’s that there’s no shortage of demand when it comes to home improvement job opportunities,” said President and CEO of Handyman Connection, Jeff Wall. “We look to meet this demand by adding on to our world-class franchise system of committed entrepreneurs and craftsman through the opening of new territories in the U.S. and Canada.”

Handyman Connection services a variety of home improvement and repair needs from carpentry, flooring, and electrical work to painting, plumbing, and remodeling. Even if Handyman Connection can’t provide a specific service for any reason, the brand’s expansive network of local craftsmen allows them to refer one who can get the job done right. Handyman Connection’s core values of delivering on its commitments, respecting its connections, practicing continuous improvement, and having pride in what they do has allowed the brand to uphold its set standard of quality assurance for more than three decades.

“At Handyman Connection, we’ve always prided ourselves on upholding a certain quality of craftspeople within our system, which has led to the success we are experiencing today,” said President and CEO of Handyman Connection, Jeff Wall. “However, delivering high-quality projects is not necessarily our primary goal. We ultimately work to create lasting, life-long connections with our customers in the communities where we operate.”

Handyman Connection is now actively seeking driven individuals looking to start their own business in the multi-faceted home improvement and repair industries. Potential franchisees can benefit from Handyman Connection’s already-existing franchise network with an established reputation, image, proven management and work practices, access to national marketing and advertising, and ongoing business owner support. The initial investment to open a Handyman Connection location, which includes the first 3 months of start-up, typically ranges from $99,369 – $148,756.
