The Benefits of Owning a BWRM Business Unit: Your Pathway to Success
Australia's real estate industry turns over around $80 billion a year, while the value of all residential property in Australia is nearing $11 trillion. With numbers like that, it makes sense to consider starting your own real estate business. If you're a photographer with creative skills, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a great way of relating to people, you could own your own real estate company with BWRM.
If you’ve made money freelancing but are now looking at owning a real estate business to drive and grow yourself, the BWRM model will help you on that journey. Photographers and creative entrepreneurs play an important role in how the real estate industry functions. With BWRM’s business model, developed from over 18 years of industry experience, business unit owners are positioned to make the most from the industry.
When I launched BWRM in 2016, I intended to create a robust platform that would allow members to run their own real estate marketing businesses with low overhead and high scalability, something that was missing in our market. Your earning potential is only capped by your own ambition. In my previous experience as a real estate photography franchisee, I saw how much time could be saved with the right digital editing tools and systems. Unfortunately, the franchise business model, where more than 30 per cent of turnover was taken before you saw a dollar, meant many of the benefits of the tools I developed went to the franchisor rather than the person doing the work—me!
This led me to create BWRM, which makes a world-class supply chain and customisable digital tools available to BWRM members, without the lock-in or percentage-based turnover fees of a franchise. This means members can scale their business at their own pace while reinvesting profits to fuel further growth. The tools include cutting-edge technology like AI, designed to streamline production and maximise efficiency during and after shooting a property, meaning members can focus on their core strengths—creativity and client relationships—while we handle the rest.
Our systems have been developed from years of experience, leading to a foolproof framework that works, saving members time and reducing risk. When I established BWRM, I brought proven methods, tools, and standards to the BWRM playbook that can be tailored to each member's unique marketing and shooting environment while maintaining consistent quality. This means BWRM’s business model combines creative freedom with operational consistency.
People who join BWRM join a creative community that offers ongoing training and mentorships, not to mention the collective wisdom of the other members of BWRM, all of whom enjoy creative and financial autonomy in their work within a proven system that drives profitability and growth. With a support system built on collaboration and shared experiences, members are never alone in navigating challenges and can learn from the successes of the wider community.
BWRM’s flexible, scalable model allows members to grow at their own pace—whether starting solo or expanding with staff and contractors. The combination of low overheads and high growth potential makes owning a BWRM real estate business unit a smart, sustainable choice for creative entrepreneurs.
