Testimonials
One of the unexpected pleasures for us was when one of our daughters and her husband were thinking about having their own business, and they wanted to explore MM. They had seen the success that we have experienced and were looking for the same type of opportunity. They have brought a new level of energy and excitement that had a large impact on growing our business, which led to us receiving the Founders Award this past year. The financial rewards for operating a successful MM business far exceeded what we ever imagined when we took the leap of faith and bought our franchise. It has allowed us to travel to destinations that we never thought possible. But just as important as the financial security we have experienced, some of our best friends are fellow franchise owners. It truly has been a family atmosphere being part of the Merry Maids brand. - Don and Lorri Krance, Newport News & Virginia Beach, VA
In order to be successful, you have to enjoy serving customers. If you have the people skills and the drive, along with the support provided by Merry Maids, you’ll get there. The brand name of Merry Maids brings in the customer. The phone will ring for you. You just have to know how to get those customers to sign up for regular service. One of the biggest forms of support is from other franchise owners. I can call any owner and take 30 minutes of their time for their feedback, and they’ll give some good recommendations in the way they operate their system. Merry Maids has a great network of other business owners who are always ready to help one another. For me, the #1 benefit is the hours. We have 2 young boys. I’m here in the office every morning, but I’m home when my son wakes up from his afternoon nap. That’s something no one can pay me more to take that away. Being a business owner and being able to spend family time, being able to grow our business at the same time. Merry Maids provides me life-work balance. I’m an entrepreneur, in a fun environment that’s growing, that’s service-related, and I get to spend time with my family. And you can actually make a difference for your community while you do it. You can help people in need. Being in this industry is the perfect fit for me. Why not be with the best in the industry? Why would you choose a B or C version if you can choose the best one? - Brian Houtman, Houston & Waco, TX
