While we’re widely recognized for #WeBuyUglyHouses®, HomeVestors® offers much more than just memorable marketing campaigns. Our company has a deep entrepreneurial legacy, beginning with founder Ken D’Angelo. Drawing on his extensive experience in home purchasing, Ken transformed the real estate market in Dallas, TX, by launching HomeVestors® of America, Inc. in 1996. Shortly after, he sold the first five independently owned and operated franchises. Today, our network has grown to over 1,000 independently owned and operated franchises nationwide. Thanks to our robust tools and proven systems, we've successfully supported hundreds of real estate investors in implementing our methods. We’ve cracked the code to some of the industry's biggest challenges—gaining access to off-market deals and securing financing to facilitate more consistent transactions, while helping people navigate difficult situations.
