HomeVestors®, the original "We Buy Ugly Houses®" brand, offers a unique real estate investment franchise opportunity focused on acquiring homes directly from motivated sellers. With a nationally recognized name and proven advertising strategies — including direct mail, digital marketing, billboards, and TV — franchisees benefit from a steady flow of quality leads every day. Sellers reach out directly, creating a high-conversion, low-competition model for sourcing below-market properties.
Franchisees can scale their business by contributing more to the shared advertising pool in their market, which increases their inbound leads. Unlike traditional real estate, HomeVestors' franchisees work collaboratively, not competitively — sharing leads, resources, and even buying properties from one another. With a strong support system and trusted brand recognition, this franchise delivers a powerful opportunity in residential real estate investing.

HomeVestors has one of the best Field Support Systems of any franchise company. After completing a week of fundamentals in HomeVestors initial training in Dallas, a new Associate Franchise or Full Franchisee is assigned a Development Agent (DA) mentor. The DA is a proven, experienced Franchisee or someone hand selected by the corporate office experienced with the HomeVestors® business, to assist the new Franchisee in setting up and running his/her business. The DA will attend buy appointments with the Franchisee and coach him/her on exit strategies and rehab techniques, if requested. The DA may have local contractors and investors contacts for the Franchisee. The DA is most often an active Franchisee himself/herself, so has current real-world experience to share. Also, in most markets, the entire local Franchise Ad Council tends to cooperate and share resources on a monthly basis.
