Our Opportunity
Fortino Barajas, owner and founder of Maids by Trade puts his house cleaning franchises available to new entrepreneurs. Fortino is a dedicated family man who started his cleaning service grass-roots style—from his garage in Portland, OR, in 1997. He believes a Maids by Trade franchise is the top choice for others wanting to run their own business. Maids by Trade changed Fortino’s life and he hopes it offers others the same opportunity.
Fortino believes in the importance of helping other entrepreneurs make their dreams come true by facilitating the ownership of locally-owned house cleaning franchises, rather than turning Maids by Trade into a massive corporate entity.
