What is the history behind HomeVestors?<\/h2>\n

HomeVestors of America<\/a> was founded in 1989 by Dallas real estate agent Ken D\u2019Angel. His mission was to help sellers unload properties quickly without the hurdles of traditional real estate. Over the years, the company became best known through its \u201cWe Buy Ugly Houses<\/a>\u201d brand, a franchise model that was rolled out in 1996.<\/p>\n

Instead of a single corporate office buying homes, HomeVestors licenses its brand to hundreds of independently owned franchises across the U.S. Each franchise follows the same system but may operate differently depending on local market conditions and the owner\u2019s business practices.<\/p>\n

Today, HomeVestors is one of the largest home-buying groups in the country, with more than 1,100 independently owned and operated franchises<\/a>. In fact, the wordmark under its company logo is \u201cAmerica\u2019s #1 Home Buyer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
