HomeVestors of America

We Buy Ugly Houses®

Franchise Overview

Overview

HomeVestors of America is the largest homebuyer franchise in the U.S., specializing in purchasing, rehabbing, and selling residential properties. With the famous "We Buy Ugly Houses®" slogan, the franchise offers a proven business model for those interested in real estate investment and home improvement. HomeVestors franchisees identify and buy homes in need of repair, renovate them, and either sell or rent them for profit, transforming communities and offering fresh starts for properties.

Key Features

  • HomeVestors stands out for its:
  • Recognizable national brand
  • Proprietary marketing system
  • Lead generation and business tools
  • Comprehensive training and support

User Experience

Franchisees benefit from a streamlined process, from initial contact with sellers through evaluation, negotiation, and closing. The proprietary HomeVestors software simplifies property analysis and purchase decisions, while robust mentorship and a collaborative network foster growth at every stage. Comprehensive marketing assets help attract motivated sellers quickly, allowing franchisees to focus on core buying and renovation activities.

Market Opportunity

With housing demand outpacing supply across much of the US, flipping and improving homes remains a lucrative business. HomeVestors targets properties not typically listed on the MLS and helps revitalize neighborhoods blighted by unattractive or neglected homes. The brand’s scale and marketing muscle generate steady lead flow, making it an attractive choice for entrepreneurs passionate about real estate, renovation, and community impact.
