NextHome Expands To 600 Offices

NextHome is thrilled to share that the real estate franchise has reached a new benchmark of 600 active offices across the country, with 5,400 active members, in 48 states. Launched in 2014, the orange-fueled franchise has consistently grown, earning it the title of one of the country’s fastest-growing companies by The Financial Times and Inc. Magazine multiple times.

While NextHome has continued to grow over the years, it hasn’t lost its focus on growing with the right people. What it all boils down to is the one-of-a-kind NextHome culture.

“What started off as an idea for a real estate franchise with a human-first business model has grown to be just that, and we’ve partnered with the best real estate professionals and technology companies that align with that vision,” said James Dwiggins, Chief Executive Officer of NextHome. “Even as we continue to grow, our core value has remained the same, we’re here to put Humans Over Houses.”

In the short eight years of being in the ever-changing real estate industry, NextHome has accomplished impressive accolades along the way allowing it to stand out from the crowd (the bright orange branding could also be a reason). One of the most impressive, and the ranking they’re most proud of, was NextHome being named The No. 1 Franchise In The Country by Franchise Business Review in 2021 and 2022.

“A franchise is only as strong as its members, and while hard work is indicative of that, it’s the people behind the transformation that have made NextHome successful,” said Charis Moreno, Vice President of Sales of NextHome. “We’ve curated a company that doesn’t accept just any interested franchisee to ensure the NextHome way is consistent across all offices. While being the head of sales at NextHome, seeing our numbers continually shift up is great, but I’m most proud of those numbers being people who want to be under the NextHome banner and reflect our values.”

Like you value the consistency of your favorite chain-brand coffee wherever you are, buyers and sellers seeking a real estate professional will find the same top-of-class branding, technology, and care from a NextHome agent wherever they are.

NextHome extends a huge thank you to its members, the doers in the industry making a difference in the lives of the people in their communities.

Significance of a Daily Routine

Significance of a Daily Routine

If you’ve been in real estate for a number of years, then you already understand that a career in real estate is similar to running a marathon, and not a sprint. And if you’re brand new, and you haven’t heard this before, then please pay attention.

When agents first start their careers they put themselves on the real estate rollercoaster. But, being on the rollercoaster like this isn’t very fun as your income is not steady nor predictable.

In order to get off the rollercoaster, you need to establish daily routines in order to keep your future business opportunities steadily flowing.

To be successful in this business, and have time and energy leftover to enjoy a balanced life, it’s incredibly important to build daily routines around the highest priority actions, or those that will produce income.

Let’s talk about what some top agents have built into their daily routines. These agents understand the impact that a daily regiment can have on their overall success. They understand that one small action will build upon another, and after establishing a steady cadence of adopting and executing these actions, they eventually become their routines.

So what are some of these daily routines that you can incorporate into your schedule? And, how can you ensure you stick with them.

First, here’s some rules to help you.

 

#1. Whatever you do, make sure you add it to your schedule and live by your schedule.

  • Life is always easier when you know what to expect and schedule time for things that you can’t.

 

#2. Get things off your plate that you should be doing.

  • Be sure you’ve found a good transaction coordinator to hire for each of your transactions.
  • Audit your daily activities for tasks that a TC can accomplish or an assistant might be able to take on for you.

 

#3. Start small.

  • Incorporate one new thing into your schedule monthly and be sure you can stick with it.
  • Once you’ve been able to consistently complete the new task in your schedule then add another.

 

#4. Find an accountability partner

NextHome Named A Most Profitable Franchise And A Top Franchise For Veterans

The NextHome real estate franchise was recently featured on the Franchise Business Review charts in two impressive categories. NextHome has been named a Most Profitable Franchise and a Top Franchise for Veterans.

Franchise Business Review, a market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ranking of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes rankings of the top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as guides throughout the year ranking the top franchises in specific sectors.

NextHome’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity. Other factors included annual income of franchise owners and minimum startup capital requirement.

To identify the companies on the list of the most profitable franchises, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 25,000 franchise owners, representing more than 200 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.

“Our franchisee’s businesses can take on pretty much any shape and any size they wish. This is what sets NextHome apart—the flexibility we offer allowing us to be a cost-effective franchise option,” said Charis Moreno, NextHome’s Vice President of Sales. “With one-year and five-year franchise agreements, and zero requirements on office size or agent count, our model supports large brick-and-mortar offices, smaller virtual offices, and everything in between.”

To identify the companies on the list of the best franchises for veterans, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 2,500 franchise owners, representing nearly 280 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.

NextHome is thrilled to be a franchise opportunity for veterans, and are proud of the veteran NextHome owners who not only have served our country, but also their local communities by helping people find their next home.

“NextHome’s veteran-friendly culture makes it a great franchise to be part of. The support from management to all members has been second to none. I haven’t felt this camaraderie since serving in the Marine Corps.”

Billy Alt, REALTOR® | NextHome Community Real Estate | Veteran of the United States Marine Corps

“The military teaches skills most business owners have to learn the hard way like discipline, leadership, resourcefulness, execution, and the ability to perform under pressure. All these traits make our military a vital pool to the success of any business.”

 Tina Maples, Franchise Owner | NextHome Heroes Choice Realty | Veteran of the United States Air Force

NextHome is incredibly grateful to be recognized by Franchise Business Review as a Most Profitable Franchise and a Top Franchise for Veterans. Being a franchise option for all allows or organization to be overflowing with incredible owners, brokers and agents from various backgrounds.
