July 28, 2010 // Franchising.com // PARSIPPANY, N.J. and DAYTON, Ohio -- Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC today announced the addition of Dayton, Ohio-based real estate firm Big Hill to its franchise brand network. Founded in 1968, the brokerage will now operate as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Big Hill under the direction of its president, Jeff Owens. The firm will continue to serve Greater Dayton, Richmond, Ind., and their surrounding counties. With this affiliation, the Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate network adds eight offices in the states of Ohio and Indiana and 185 sales associates to its fast-growing national franchise network.
"Big Hill has come on board and is dedicated to embracing our innovative technology and sophisticated business systems, which are pivotal to a sales agent's success," said Sherry Chris, President & CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC. "We welcome Jeff and his entire team as we know they think and act outside of the box and have taken a strong step forward in becoming a next-generation brokerage by joining our brand."
One of the exclusive tools that Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate offers to its network is PinPoint, a product that Owens feels will keep his agents a step above the competition.

"Partnering with a brand whose CEO was just recognized with the Inman Innovator of the Year award for her astute appreciation for innovation and emerging technology seems like a natural fit for us."
