About HomeVestors of America Franchise

The HomeVestors idea began in Dallas, Texas in 1989, with a real estate broker named Ken D’Angelo. Ken bought so many homes, he decided to transform his brokerage into a home-buying business. By 1996, Ken was ready to take his business even further. He named this new venture HomeVestors and sold his first five franchises in the Dallas area. He figured out how the franchises could advertise together, share vendors, and route calls to each other through their phone system, and he eventually expanded to Kansas City. When he had 20 offices up and running, he moved into Atlanta. HomeVestors of America® is now comprised of more than 1,000 franchises spanning 46 states and D.C., and is growing every day.

The HomeVestors business model is built on a foundation of responsible business practices and high ethical standards, which our franchisees embody. Rather than competing, our franchisees act as mentors to one another, sharing vendors and advice. All of our independently owned and operated franchisees are supported centrally with mass advertising from our nationally-recognized “We Buy Ugly Houses®” brand, proprietary home evaluation and lead management software, deep knowledge of the industry, and financial resources

What Do We Do?

We Buy Houses, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly SM.

HomeVestors franchisees find people in ugly real estate situations and help them lay down their burdensome property by paying cash and closing quickly on houses.

We then rehab the homes either for sale to other investors or homebuyers, or to hold onto themselves as rental properties.

In doing so, we help the owners get out of their “ugly” housing situation, enabling them to move on with their lives.

At the same time, we provide opportunities for new renters and first-time homebuyers in the area, while dramatically improving the neighborhoods we invest in.

And it’s worked. We’ve bought over 100,000 houses, and we’ve been the leading cash buyer of houses in the United States since 1996—back when we were just five Texas offices sharing a phone line.
