Better Homes and Gardens launches in Mississauga, Canada
When Better Homes and Gardens launched their real estate brand in the United States in 2008, during a time of economic downturn and volatility, you wonder how in 3 years have grown to 23 states and over 200 offices with over 7000 agents, they must be doing something right. They have now expanded to Canada and Signature Service GMAC real estate will now operate under their 25 year master franchise agreement, as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Signature Service. Nelson Goulart and Rob Vanden Broek will take the reins and operate the brand in Canada in their head office in Mississauga.
With 2 offices and 90 agents to serve the GTA real estate market, Better Homes and Gardens Canada officially launched in early October 2011 at the Mississauga’s Living Arts Centre. Mayor McCallion spoke at the event about how realtors helped Mississauga grow to become the 6th largest city in Canada. “People don’t give real estate agents the credit they deserve; know that you are a vital part of the growth of any city. It takes organizations like yours to make a great city.”
With the main focus of consumer experience and lifestyle living, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Signature Service will provide a more hands-on experience that supports consumers in one of their biggest investments and stressful decision making process. To deliver the experience and support to the marketplace now, the future looks bright for consumers who understands and appreciates the value the BH&G real estate signature service agent can bring to the table.
Better Homes and Gardens is known for their magazine which is owned by Meredith publishing and has over 40 million in readership per month. The magazine understands the value and importance of what it means to consumers when you’re making a house into your home.
What does this mean for the consumer? The real estate industry in Canada has been under a lot of scrutiny from the competition bureau, consumers because of many of the brokerages, real estate agents and the like have outdated business models. Better Homes and Gardens survived and thrived in the US economic recession because of their core vision of Passion, Authenticity, Innovation, Growth and Excellence. Their consumer-centric focus and understanding of lifestyle living using technology and superior support, Better Homes and Gardens real estate is able to provide consumers a better home purchasing and selling experience.
