Corporate Profile
ESCO Global Realty Corp. is incorporated in Colorado and operates under ESCO® Global Realty.
ESCO® - an acronym for Equity, Security, Community,
Ownership.
ESCO® holds trademark protection relating to the company name, logo and positioning statement.
Our positioning statement, Own your future®, is an invitation to investors, as well as our challenge to
ESCO® Regional Owners, Franchisees, and Sales Agents, and to buyers and sellers of real estate, to build
Equity, Security, Community and Ownership.
The Mission
ESCO® Global Realty is a real estate franchisor with a mission to provide a marketing identity and
operations model for an international real estate network through the application of the Own Your
Future® plan.
The ESCO® concept is built on our core value which states that the very people who contribute to
the growth of the company must share in the ownership of the company, and ultimately in its success.
The model will enable our Franchisees to recruit and retain sales agents and brokers in a manner that
traditional real estate companies cannot match.
ESCO® Global Realty is focused on:
- initiative and motivation
- loyalty and responsibility
- recruitment and retention
- productivity and profitability
ESCO® Training Institute
On-going education and training of Realtors® will be our central focus. To that end, the ESCO® Training
Institute (ESCO TI) was established with a mandate to provide systematic on-going basic and continuing
education as well as high level Realtor® training modules through its in-house trainers and recruiters
who will be based at regional levels. They will assist region owners and franchisees and will provide
comprehensive introductory training courses for people wishing to embark on a real estate sales career.
