About the Company

HomeVestors  of America, Inc., otherwise known as the "We Buy Ugly Houses" people, is the #1 buyer of houses in the U.S.

Founded in 1989, and franchising since 1996, HomeVestors franchisees have bought more than 45,000 houses. Our franchisees buy houses that are hard to sell, paying cash to owners who often are in ugly situations ... they rehab houses ... and sell and lease homes, improving neighborhoods in the process and providing opportunities for first-time homebuyers and renters.

With about 200 franchisees in 33 states, HomeVestors  enforces strict systems and standards to ensure high ethical standards and responsible business practices.

HomeVestors  offers low-cost franchising opportunities to investors and real estate professionals. Its unique business model includes a proprietary software system that franchisees use to evaluate single-family houses for purchase and repair; mass advertising based on high-impact billboard campaigns; and a direct-selling program that helps franchisees identify buyers or investors who already have a stake in the neighborhood.
