Jordan’s Story

After an injury that forced him to stay off his feet for two months, Jordan Catino found himself with plenty of time to research business opportunities online. When he read about the Neighborly® family of brands, he saw how a Dryer Vent Wizard® franchise could be the key to owning a business with strong growth potential.

“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit but the right opportunity never presented itself until I found Dryer Vent Wizard. The system is proven to work and I thought it would be a great fit for me,” Jordan said.

So in 2021, he opened a franchise in Schenectady, NY, with help from his fiancé Rachel, who’s responsible for marketing and social media. Jordan says the rebates he gets from ProTradeNet® (vetted vendors and partners) offer a significant competitive advantage he would otherwise not have. He credits the franchise business owner network for keeping him focused on his career goals.

“I like that there are many other [franchise business] owners who experience the same successes and hardships as I do,” he explained. “It’s nice to be able to call on anyone and ask for help and advice—and to be able to do the same for them when they need it.”
