NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- During a year marked by company sales and growth records, HomeVestors® of America, the largest professional home buying network of independently owned and operated franchisees, is celebrating a highly successful 2014, with two key milestones spotlighted at its annual national convention in New Orleans on Dec. 10-13, 2014.
Co-Presidents David Hicks and Ken Channell announced that the company, the number one buyer of houses in the U.S., will announce which of its independently owned and operated franchises purchased the 60,000 house. Additionally, 2014 represents a robust surge in the number of new company franchisees, rising by more than 30 percent during the past 11 months.
"This is the best year yet for us in our history in terms of adding new franchisees," said Hicks. "It supports our viewpoint that the residential real estate market represents one of the best long-term investments available."
Channell added, "With 2014 being the 18th anniversary of HomeVestors, it's particularly affirming to have reached the 60,000 houses milestone. For the past 18 years, our franchisees have dramatically changed the landscape of residential real estate by transforming 'ugly' houses in need of repairs into beautiful homes that people are proud to own. Our outlook for 2015 also is very positive and aggressive."
