This month at Integrity New Homes, we have some exciting news to share. We welcome a new builder to our franchise, which is something that happens frequently, but this time, it's different. This builder was previously with us and has now chosen to rejoin the Integrity New Homes family. This move is not only encouraging to us but also to our existing builders, our team, and everyone associated with our business. It sends a significant signal to the market: builders who leave for various reasons often find that they miss what Integrity New Homes has to offer and choose to return when the time is right.
In this particular case, the builder initially left due to a change in circumstances that made it difficult to pursue the business at that time. We understand that life happens, and when it did, we facilitated the builder's smooth exit from the franchise with no hard feelings. Now, with the circumstances aligned, this builder has circled back and rejoined our group.
During our discussions, I asked him, "What made you decide to come back?" He shared three significant reasons that I'd like to pass on to you.
Firstly, he mentioned the quality of our marketing. He recognized that staying passive and silent in the market and simply waiting for jobs to come was not a sustainable strategy. The marketing support offered by the Integrity New Homes franchise is a key factor in propelling businesses forward, and he knew that this would be crucial for his success.
Secondly, he highlighted the importance of the network. Surrounding himself with like-minded, professional people in the building industry was critical to his long-term success. He realized that during the time he wasn't part of our group, he missed the invaluable support and connections that our network provides.
Lastly, and something that I was particularly pleased to hear, was his appreciation for the education and ongoing personal and professional development that comes with being part of our franchise. The building industry is constantly evolving with new legislative and market changes, making it challenging for a solo builder to keep up. However, within our franchise network, these challenges are more easily navigated, thanks to our commitment to continuous education and training.
We're thrilled to see that builders who return to us recognize the immense value in what we offer. If you're considering your options, we encourage you to take a close look at Integrity New Homes and see how we can support your business growth. We hope to welcome you to our network soon!
