Number of units
New Again Houses had 38 total units in 2024, of which 37 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
New Again Houses provides franchisees with several layers of training to ensure they are prepared to operate successfully:
Initial Training Program Before opening, the franchisee and their Manager must complete an online initial training covering real estate operations, financial systems, cost controls, and management tasks. This program combines classroom instruction with hands-on components and is required to be completed successfully, including achieving at least 90% on assessments.
Management-in-Training (MIT) Location Program For franchisees with multiple locations, one business must be certified as a Management-in-Training site where new managers are trained, ensuring standardized operations across units.
On-Going and Refresher Training Throughout the franchise term, New Again Houses may offer supplemental or refresher training sessions at its discretion. Attendance is mandatory for certain programs, and the franchisor may require participation in an annual conference, with associated fees and travel costs.
Territory Protection
New Again Houses grants each franchisee a designated Territory defined by demographic factors like population, median home value, and housing stock, but it does not provide an exclusive territory.
Franchisees may face competition from other New Again Houses franchisees, company-owned locations, or other sales channels controlled by the franchisor. This means the franchisor retains the right to operate or franchise within the same market without guaranteeing exclusivity.
While franchisees can organize special events outside their Territory, they need prior written approval from the franchisor. Continuation of any territory protection is contingent on meeting a minimum royalty fee of $15,000 per year, or the franchisee may opt to terminate the agreement.
