Another growing segment Homes & Land serves is the home improvement segment with consumer spending totaling $120.7B in 2012 according to Harvard's Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) report.

We offer great products and services for the real estate market including: Full Size, Full Color Magazine Ads, a national real estate website, Featured Listings online, unique marketing tools and services, and much, much more.

Support & Training

Homes & Land provides initial training to all new franchisees as well as periodic ongoing training sessions, webinars, online training, and annual meetings.

Most of our successful franchise owners come from backgrounds other than real estate and publishing. Our extensive training program teaches motivated individuals everything they need to know to be successful.

The primary objective of our classroom and field training is to help you analyze your market, develop the appropriate business strategy, sell to new clients, and generate profits. In addition, we make sure you are capable of publishing a quality magazine that is consistent with the high standards of the Homes & Land network.

Testimonials

“Homes & Land gives incredible support. It is wonderful for the technology and the tech support, the seminars and the training sessions. The senior management team always listens, and they try to help on all matters. Homes & Land is more of a partner who recognizes that if we succeed, the Company succeeds. The network of franchisees is always helpful as well. I feel that Homes & Land is providing our business model, and it is up to us to utilize and sell it. The strength of the brand and the network throughout the U.S. and online has enabled my success. I am not a little independent trying to create a magazine from scratch. I own a branded, valuable asset that I can one day sell.”
