SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB) October 02, 2020
HomeSmart International closes out the third quarter with explosive growth across the United States. Despite challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the leading 100-percent-brokerage company continued to expand, adding a total of 24 new locations and entering three new states to its growing footprint so far this year. HomeSmart International now has a presence in Oklahoma, Utah and Missouri, with a continued focus on expansion in the midwest and east coast.
The real estate franchising company added 11 new franchise locations to its network and saw a net agent gain of 682 agents since the start of July, 2020. HomeSmart International had a 289% increase in Q3 net agent gain year over year.
“So much has transpired since the beginning of the spread of COVID-19,” said Bryan Brooks, HomeSmart International senior vice president of franchise sales. “While we saw an effect on the marketplace in Q2, it is obvious that HomeSmart International will ultimately emerge from this in a far stronger position. Our Q3 growth and franchise sales confirmed that our technology-driven model of low fees and high service is poised to grow tremendously no matter what.”
With what Brooks describes as “strong acquisitions” in the pipeline for its corporate-owned brokerages and franchised locations, he looks forward to seeing everything HomeSmart will accomplish in Q4.
“HomeSmart’s focus on growth and expansion is motivated by the need for smarter real estate processes in the industry,” said HomeSmart CEO and Founder Matt Widdows. “We continue to see tremendous interest in our model because of the technology, business operations and commission HomeSmart offers – making the real estate experience better for all involved in the transaction.”
The company, ranked by The Franchise Business Review as a top 200 franchise in the country, currently has a national network of more than 19,000 agents across 170 locations in 34 states and has received a number of industry recognitions in Q3:
