Become an Agent

Consider the Benefits
The Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Hometown Connection business model addresses the fundamental changes that have taken place in the real estate business. Instead of maintaining a traditional (Brick-and Mortar) office-centric mentality, we provide agents with the services and tools they need to maximize their productivity and profitability.

Partnering with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Hometown Connection is a cost effective alternative to opening your own brokerage, or just taking your business to the next level. We provide risk management, technical support (including paperwork) and other services that are required for real estate agents to operate in TN.

Under our model, you will be able to retain more of your commission.  And provide our agents the autonomy and flexibility they need to develop and run their business.

The Hometown Connection Difference
Traditional brokerages require agents to pay high desk fees to support office occupancy and administrative costs. These brokerages also require agents to participate in office meetings and functions, complete floor time, and go on mandatory house tours.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Hometown Connection has eliminated much of these costly and unproductive activities, which means more time for you to focus on interacting with clients and customers, ultimately putting more commission dollars where they belong, in your pocket.

And while we expect our agents to be accountable, we do not apply artificial production pressure. We simply ask that you operate within the laws, REALTOR® Code of Ethics, and rules that govern the real estate industry.

For all this, we charge only a modest monthly fee and per transaction fees.
