HomeVestors Welcomes More Than 100 Franchises in First Quarter

DALLAS, TX – HomeVestors, the largest professional house buying franchise in the U.S., welcomed more than 100 new franchises in the first quarter of 2018.

“HomeVestors franchises now operate locally in 162 markets around America thanks to the steady franchise growth we continue to experience,” said David Hicks, CEO of HomeVestors. “We added 234 franchises in 2017, which we were really pleased with. For us to now be nearly halfway to that number after just one quarter of 2018 suggests this rapid growth will continue.”

Consistently recognized as an affordable and successful franchising opportunity, HomeVestors recruits, trains and supports franchises that specialize in building businesses based on buying, rehabbing, selling and holding residential properties.
