DALLAS, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeVestors, the largest professional home buying network of independently owned and operated franchisees and the number one buyer of houses in the U.S., announces its highest ever class enrollment of new franchisees in a single quarter.
"Seventy-one new HomeVestors® franchises have opened in the past three months, which is the highest number of franchisees that have previously enrolled in a single quarter," said HomeVestors' co-president David Hicks.
