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.”
— Michelle Russell, Homes & Land of Chattanooga & Northwest Georgia
“We are delighted that over 32 years ago we made the decision to buy our first Homes & Land franchise. It’s the best business and career decision that Cheryl and I ever made. Today, we publish six Homes & Land magazines and two Rental Guides across Eastern and Middle Tennessee. Owning a Homes & Land franchise has been very rewarding for us, and now our children are a large part of our business.”
— Russ & Cheryl Haskins
“Through the years, Homes & Land has aggressively pursued a group of services that our customers could not get in one place. This practice provided us with an essential key to our success: Belief in our product.
