Martin & Co franchise owner expands into Basingstoke
Martin & Co franchise owner, David Rebe, has acquired the Basingstoke business, expanding his portfolio within the network as he continues his plans to build a larger property business.
Rebe joined Martin & Co in March 2024 when he acquired the Oxford and Thame businesses. His latest acquisition follows the retirement of Basingstoke’s previous franchise owner.
The established operation has strong local relationships and an experienced team, with almost all staff having significant length of service.
Rebe (pictured) says: “I have been very impressed with the Martin & Co business that we acquired two and a half years ago.
“We receive a lot of support from The Property Franchise Group and, in the current environment of legislative change, the importance of having this type of support cannot be underestimated.
“From the initial acquisition, my goal has been to grow a network of branches, as I believe the economies of scale allow us to offer our clients exceptional service through the pooled resources we have access to.”
Larger portfolio
Basingstoke’s established client base, growth record and experienced team were key attractions for Rebe.
“I much prefer acquiring an established, well-performing branch with an established team, and then only introducing changes if they will add value to all stakeholders in the business,” he adds.
His immediate priority will be to understand the business before identifying opportunities for development. Longer-term, he has ambitions to grow through acquisitions and organic expansion.
Toby Phillips, Group Managing Director of Martin & Co, said: “We are delighted to see David continue to grow within the Martin & Co network. Since joining us in 2024, he has embraced the franchise model and demonstrated a clear focus on exceptional customer service and sustainable growth.”
