 A Franchise that could change your lifestyle
Resort Morocco is a trading division of Overseas Property Management & Lettings Limited

Resort Morocco Management and Lettings Franchise

An exciting opportunity to become a franchisee of Resort Morocco with your own territory in Morocco

The country of Morocco has undergone rapid growth in the past five years, with high quality five star resorts being built.  There are now many new golf and beachfront resorts, which have been completed and are being handed over to purchasers every day. 

Resort Morocco (a division of Overseas Property Management and Lettings Ltd) offers a wide variety of rental accommodation to families from all over Europe with a wide range of accommodation from large individual villas with private pools to studio apartments.  

The success of the Resort Morocco business is attributed to the friendly, efficient service and the quality of the accommodation on offer.  Each holidaymaker is given five star treatment as the focus is heavily on customer service and our commitment to make their stay in the country memorable. 

Morocco is one of the premier countries to purchase a property in the world and there are a number of new exciting developments.  Resort Morocco offers clients a unique service in this area with our specialist knowledge and experience of the sales and lettings market.  This knowledge is essential in helping clients to choose the right property to purchase for the maximum rental potential.  Resort Morocco can assist with every aspect of the purchase.

The Franchise Opportunity

Have you ever dreamt of moving to Morocco, or of running your own business … but don’t know where to start?

Been put off because you don’t speak the language or don’t think you’ll be able to find a job?

Owning a Resort Morocco Franchise is the ideal solution to your problems and the answer to these questions.  The company was set up in September 2008 based on the business model of its sister company Murcia Villas in Spain.  Murcia Villas is an established business with over five years trading in Spain and has a wealth of experience in property purchase and management, key holding, holiday rental and long term lets.

All of the experience, professionalism, and knowledge that Murcia Villas have gleaned in years gone by, has kick started Resort Morocco into the property and management market in Morocco. This office is based on the fantastic resort of Saidia in eastern Morocco on the Mediterranean coast.  Murcia Villas acts as the prefect support network and training ground for all our new Resort Morocco franchisees.

Morocco! Well what can we say? From our personal experiences we arrive at the following conclusions; Fantastic all year round climate, golden sandy beaches, warm seas, great prices, new airports, new ports and marinas, all this along with good rail links, established golf courses, faster road systems, improved international relationships and an emerging tourism market - a holiday and investment heaven!

Morocco is now renowned for its investment potential the world over, with buyers from as far a field as Hong Kong, Canada and South Africa taking up the option to buy in this vibrant area.

Properties on new resorts are being completed every month bringing new owners to our office and to our website requiring our services.

With a track record of fulfilling the rental opportunities from our client properties, and our attention to detail and assistance with furnishing houses ready for letting, it is hardly surprising that the demand for our services is growing rapidly.

In order to cope with this demand, Resort Morocco is now looking to share expertise and to allocate resort territories to Franchisees. We are offering prime locations such as Marrakech, Tangier and Tetouan.

Available New Territories

Marrakesh
Enjoy the best of both worlds, a warm charming City with a huge global tourist market wanting to experience the sights, smells and atmosphere of Marrakesh. The City has a year round tourist trade, with a massive demand for Riad properties in the centre of the City. Marrakesh is crying out for a professional real estate agent.  With an expatriate French population of over 35,000, and jam-packed golf courses with mainly European clients; Marrakesh offers an excellent opportunity to sell and rent property in this fascinating city.

In addition to Marrakesh city, the opportunity extends to the ski resort that’s sits only 50 minutes drive away within the peaks of the Famous Atlas Mountains, opening up the new market for 2 centre holidays.
