History of GMAC Real Estate Franchises

In 1998, GMAC Home Services, a subsidiary of GMAC Financial Services, an affiliate of the General Motors family, purchased Better Homes & Garden Real Estate from Meredith Corp.. Since that time we have held our position amongst the largest national real estate franchise organizations thanks to our strong relationships with quality and exceptional franchise owners.

Today, GMAC Home Services is under the direction of longtime industry veteran John Bearden, who has emphasized the importance for "…Premier Service-which creates brand loyalty while delivering a consistently high measurable service experience with customer and demonstrates the value of the commission paid." Bearden and GMAC Home Services is well positioned to bring forth a full spectrum of home services to real estate brokers, Sales Associates and consumers.

At GMAC Home Services, we leverage our own real estate, relocation and mortgage divisions, our relationship with parent company GMAC, as well as the strengths of sister companies such as GMAC Mortgage. As a result of these vast resources, GMAC Home Services can bring you added services and cost savings to consumers as well as a "one-stop shopping" experience.

These services range from cost savings on automobiles, financial services and health benefits for sales associates, to providing home buyers with the essential home services they want and need - such as mortgage, title, home warranty and relocation programs - all from the GM family of companies.
