Better Homes And Gardens Real Estate Announces Affiliation Of Oak Valley Realty In Beaumont, California

Brokerage in One of the Fastest Growing Cities in California Becomes 19th BHGRE Company in the State

February 12, 2021 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. - Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today that Oak Valley Realty in Beaumont, Calif., has affiliated with the BHGRE® brand. The family-owned and oriented company will now be known as Better Homes and Garden Real Estate Oak Valley.

Founded and led by Peter and Mary Tripp, the firm serves the Inland Empire including Beaumont, Yucaipa, Calimesa, Highland, Redlands, Crestline, Lake Arrowhead and Banning.

Located within commuting distance of Coachella Valley, Riverside and San Bernardino and for some residents, Los Angeles, Beaumont and the surrounding region offers a slower and quieter pace of life as well as a lower cost of living, attracting clients from Los Angeles County, Orange County and western Riverside County.

According to the U.S. Census, Beaumont is the third fastest growing city in California. The accelerated growth in Beaumont can be attributed to large institutional investors as well as smaller LLCs steadily releasing properties onto the market providing a new source of inventory. Renters are also entering the homebuying market in greater numbers to take advantage of historically low interest rates. In addition, Amazon recently opened a 640,000 square-foot fulfillment center in Beaumont. The facility joins Amazon's other Inland Empire fulfillment facilities in Eastvale, Moreno Valley, Redlands, Rialto, Riverside and San Bernardino, where the company launched its first California fulfillment center in 2012.
