“As an independent firm, we were finding it challenging to piece together marketing, training and business development programs for our agents. We knew we needed a partner to fuel growth and increase our market share. With Better Homes and Garden Real Estate, we gain access to a robust suite of tools and technology while belonging to an invaluable lifestyle brand that will help differentiate ourselves in our markets. I feel confident we will be able to leverage our affiliation with the brand to help grow our company and continue to drive agent success.
