An Ambitious Entrepreneur Adds the First Franchise to His Portfolio

We are excited to announce the newest owner of HouseDoctors: Omar Sanford. A natural-born problem solver, Omar is eager to have the chance to run his own business and reap all of the rewards franchise ownership provides. We think he selected the ideal brand for his situation and expect that this is only the first step he’ll take in creating a franchise empire. 

Who Is Omar Sanford?

Omar is an accomplished IT professional, who has served in a number of roles over the course of his career. From site technician to help desk technical lead to service operator, he’s done it all. That said, he has primarily served in system engineer roles, as he does at his current job.  

But while Omar has primarily worked in tech-related positions, he is a really well-rounded individual. He not only served in the U.S. Army but also found himself tasked with training duties at various points in his career – something he thoroughly enjoyed.  

Omar currently lives in the Cincinnati, Ohio suburbs with his wife, Jessica, and their four children, ages 23, 12, 7, and 6.

Why Did Omar Sanford Make a Career Change?

Like so many others who’ve left the corporate world to run a franchise, Omar wanted more freedom, flexibility, and control in his life. He also wanted the chance to make the important decisions for his business. For better or worse, he wanted to be the one calling the shots.

But Omar was also interested in the highly lucrative future that franchise ownership often offers. This would allow him to start building a legacy he could leave to his children.

Why Will Omar Sanford Make a Great Franchise Owner?

Because he’s such a multi-talented individual who has incredible problem-solving skills, we think Omar is really well-positioned for success with his new franchise. But while his intelligence and creativity will certainly serve him well, he also has top-notch people skills – something many franchise owners find important. 

FranCoach franchise coach Lisa Rios sums it up perfectly: “Omar is very smart and analytical, but also down to earth and fun to talk to. The perfect balance for a business owner.”

It’s also important to note that Omar is incredibly resilient and capable of overcoming challenges. For example, his first attempt at franchise ownership didn’t work out as planned. But unlike some other would-be franchise owners who would have thrown in the metaphorical towel, Omar learned from the experience and applied the lessons he gleaned from the experience to his next attempt.

Why Did Omar Sanford Choose HouseDoctors?

Omar was open to a variety of different franchise opportunities when he started working with the FranCoach team. 

From retail to senior services to consulting franchises, he carefully considered several different industries and opportunities. However, the home services space had always appealed to him, and he finally zeroed in on HouseDoctors. This franchise not only gave him the chance to run a service-oriented business, but also one that provided necessary (as opposed to optional) services – something he wanted from the outset. 

HouseDoctors provides handyman services to residents and commercial clients. From electrical work to carpentry services to garage organization, they do it all. One of the franchises under the Premium Service Brands umbrella, HouseDoctors has a history stretching back more than 30 years and currently operates more than 55 locations. 

Please join our team at FranCoach in congratulating Omar Sanford and wishing him luck as a new owner of HouseDoctors.
