The awards were presented to Van Valkenburg earlier this month at HomeFront Brands' Homecoming Convention at the company's headquarters near Charlotte, North Carolina. The conference brought together franchisees, corporate employees and vendor partners to celebrate HomeFront Brands' impressive growth since its inception in late 2022. HomeFront Brands is a property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, including Window Hero and The Designery.

"It's exciting when an entrepreneur wins an award in the same category for two locations, and Nate was able to accomplish that," said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. "The success of our Homecoming Convention showcased the tremendous growth HomeFront Brands has undergone during our first year. Nate Van Valkenburg is a sales champion who has set a standard of achievement that has helped HomeFront Brands excel in our expansion efforts."

The Top Producer of the Year is bestowed upon the franchisee that has soared to the highest echelons of sales excellence, showcasing an unwavering dedication to success and an unmatched ability to drive revenue. HomeFront Brands presented Top Producer awards to a franchise owner for each of the four franchises featured at the convention.

"It's a great honor to receive this award for both my Charleston ventures," Van Valkenburg said. "We would not have won these awards without all the great people who make Window Hero and The Designery prosperous. From the support we've received at HomeFront Brands to our local staff and the clients we serve, the road to our success has been paved with support."

Van Valkenburg attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and worked in the exterior cleaning business for several years before starting his own business. He and his wife, Ali, live in Charleston with their daughter.
