On January 14, 2000, HomeSmart Real Estate announced its grand opening to the Phoenix marketplace with just two agents.
A reputation for advanced technologies soon followed. As a result, HomeSmart rapidly developed into one of the nations fastest-growing and top real estate brokerages. With a commitment to agents and clients alike, our founding HomeSmart brokerage has now grown to more than 6,000 agents with multiple branch office locations Valleywide. Additionally, HomeSmart is the #1 residential real estate compa
ny in Arizona and is also ranked nationally by the 2016 Real Trends 500 and 2016 RISMedia Power Broker Report. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Matt Widdows is also widely respected in the real estate industry and is ranked #29 on the 2016 Swanepoel Power 200 list of the most influential people in real estate. Much of HomeSmart's success can be attributed to the combined real estate and technology background of Widdows who created the company built around a comprehensive technology platform which provides agents with cutting-edge tools, a professional work environment and cost efficiencies for a low fee. This approach gives agents more time to focus on serving their clients' needs and growing their businesses. HomeSmart’s technology has allowed it to provide a consistent high level of customer service to its agents and clients. Which is something the company prides itself on doing successfully by blending technology with a personal touch; something that is often lost. In addition to local agents and offices, HomeSmart is also part of the larger franchise company, HomeSmart International, whose headquarters are also based in Arizona. Under the banner of the HomeSmart International brand, more than 14,000 agents and nearly 100 offices in 16 states. For more information, visit HomeSmart.com
