Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Evolves its Core Values to Champion 'Inclusion' of All People and Ideas

The evolution of the BHGRE® brand's core values is a reflection of its many accomplishments, showing both results and continued commitment as it enters the next phase of its life cycle.  The concept of inclusion encompasses a range of ideas and opportunities that Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate is proud to champion in the industry:

• Several identified generations of people are potential consumers. This is an unprecedented range of perspectives, styles and need sets that real estate companies must understand to deliver the highest levels of service.
• Diversity in ethnicity and lifestyle has opened up new business opportunities for real estate professionals and made it possible for consumers to enjoy personalized service before, during and after this most important transaction.
• Across industries, the companies universally recognized as the most innovative are those that look outside of their respective industries and competitive sets for new, strategic ideas. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate has done this since inception, drawing inspiration from industries including retail, travel and technology to help move the industry forward.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate integrates its core values into every strategy.  It introduces each of its internal and external brand events and meetings with a celebration of PAIGE as a reminder to its corporate employees and franchisees what the brand stands for and what guides its business strategies and growth decisions.

Furthermore, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate has been recognized for its support and involvement of key industry organizations supporting homeownership and real estate career development for all, including the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA), the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) and the National Association of Gay & Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP).

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate's Core Values are Now:

• Passion – to stimulate energy to a higher level of inspiration and emotion
• Authenticity – being exactly what we claim to be
• Inclusion – to embrace all people and ideas
• Growth – to have increasing influence
• Excellence – to consistently exceed expectations
