Why did you choose to start a Pass the Keys® Franchise?
Our main reason for joining Pass the Keys franchise was to expand our existing property portfolio. After researching Pass the Keys and doing due diligence with a friend of ours, we realised that the Pass the Keys model provided franchise owners with a proven business system, access to a network of support, and technology solutions to streamline operations. Therefore, giving the best potential to maximise rental income and the ability for us to grow and scale our short-let business, in a shorter time than imagined.
Additionally, Pass the Keys places a strong emphasis on providing exceptional guest experiences and customer service, which is reflected in their positive reviews, outshining similar competitors within this field. With all this information we felt it would not be prudent to pass up a great opportunity like this.
