United Water Restoration Group (UWRG), a leading restoration franchise, understands that cultivating strong relationships with property managers and commercial real estate professionals can significantly boost business opportunities for water restoration franchisees. 

"So much of our business is dealing in homes,” said Bob Moore, president of UWRG. “Property managers manage numerous properties, so if an accident happens, they often become the point of contact because they have to answer to the property owner.”

Property managers benefit directly from swift and effective restoration responses — something UWRG takes pride in. "If they have an emergency at one of the properties and they can get somebody out, the amount of damage is reduced, which makes them look better," Moore said. "They love how well UWRG communicates throughout the process."

But it’s not just property managers who benefit. Real estate agents and brokers also rely on restoration services to support their sales. 

"Real estate agents only make money when they buy or sell properties and help their customers," Moore said. "When you're trying to sell a home, that can be very stressful. Having a trusted partner you can call on is extremely important. You have many realtors today who are flipping homes; if they need restoration work done, we ensure it’s handled properly."

To successfully build these relationships, Moore advises Franchise Owners to focus on genuine, long-term partnerships rather than quick referrals. "One of the things I always say is: ‘go in trying to develop true relationships’," Moore said. "You aren’t just in it to get a quick referral. You should look to build relationships that will hopefully last five, ten, fifteen years. It’s not just about getting a job next week."

Moore highlights the importance of becoming a trusted advisor by sharing expertise and consistently delivering exceptional service. "Just be of service to people in your community in their time of need, and talk to them about what you do and why you do it," he said. "Then, when your phone rings, make sure they are wowed by your service and knowledge. Most people aren't really knowledgeable about restoration, so when you become that trusted advisor—not just another company down the street—that's when those relationships really show their value."

Plus, referrals generated from satisfied property managers and realtors can amplify business growth significantly long-term. 

"Realtors and property managers often talk to each other," Moore said. "The sweetest thing we can shoot for is to have our company name on their lips, saying good things about us and the services we provide."

By prioritizing strong, lasting relationships with property management professionals, UWRG Franchise Owners can create a stable, robust pipeline of opportunities and elevate their standing within their local markets.
