January 22, 2026 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. – Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC today announced that Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle has renewed its franchise agreement for another 10 years, continuing an affiliation that has supported the company's evolution from a startup to a leading brokerage in the Carolinas.
Since joining the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network in 2018 with just 32 agents, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle has grown to more than 400 agents and has delivered consistent growth in both agent count and transaction activity across the Carolinas. This achievement reflects a strong coaching culture led by Tony Hanson and Lucas Mudrey, combined with a commitment to agent enablement and client service, supported by the resources of a nationally recognized brand.
“Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle’s success story is a powerful example of what’s possible when ambitious operators align with the Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand,” said Ginger Wilcox, president of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC. “Growing into a multi-market leader underscores the value of the resources and scale the brand provides. We are proud to support their continued success across the Carolinas into the next decade.”
By renewing its affiliation, the brokerage will continue to tap into Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brand’s tools and insights while strengthening the coaching-driven culture that has defined its success. This approach extends company’s impact beyond real estate transactions, creating opportunities for small businesses and real estate professionals nationwide through mentorship and collaboration.
"Our brokerage was built on the idea of coming alongside real estate agents and clients—advising, counseling, and supporting them in meaningful ways. After extensive evaluation of multiple brands, it was clear that our affiliation with Better Homes and
Gardens Real Estate gives us an unmatched platform to grow with purpose and support agents and communities at the highest level.” Tony Hanson, co-owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle.
“Renewing our franchise agreement with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate for another 10 years is a powerful affirmation of the relationship we’ve built and the momentum we’ve created together. Our affiliation with one of the most trusted consumer brands has helped us exponentially grow our hybrid brokerage model—combining company-subsidized lead generation coupled with the strength of a traditional brokerage platform—to deliver greater confidence, consistency, and support for our best-in-class agents, as well as today’s buyers and sellers. We’re incredibly grateful for the continued investment from Compass International Holdings and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate senior leadership as we work together to dominate the markets we serve,” said Lucas Mudrey, co-owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Paracle.
This renewal reflects the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate® brand’s dedication to empowering entrepreneurial brokerages and driving growth that elevates the real estate industry nationwide.
