Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from HomeVestors of America's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 87% of real estate franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (47 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against real estate brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a HomeVestors of America franchise cost?

HomeVestors of America's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $150K–$477K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee is not a single figure: Full Franchise: $85,000; Associate Franchise: $39,000 (per 2023 FDD preview)

Facts on this page are sourced from a third-party archive's copy of HomeVestors of America's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

HomeVestors ('We Buy Ugly Houses') operates two franchise tiers with different fees/investment: Full Franchise ($85,000 fee, $135,000-$461,250 total investment) and Associate Franchise ($39,000 fee, $89,000-$390,250 total investment), per the 2023 FDD preview - left item7_total_low/high null rather than merge the two tiers into one misleading range. A separate franchisepanda.com summary page showed a conflicting single set of figures ($70,000 fee, $96,000-$426,500 total, ~657 locations) which was not reconciled with the FDD preview tiers and is not used in the facts block to avoid mixing sources; noted here only. Litigation, bankruptcy, royalty structure, territory, non-compete, and Item 19/20 not available in either free source within the two-attempt limit.
