NextHome, Inc. is a progressive real estate franchise with consumer-focused branding, technology, and marketing and a flexible pricing model and competitive programs that empower its brokers and agents to provide excellent service without compromise. Inc. magazine recently listed the company at number 210 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: California list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. NextHome received this ranking with a two-year revenue growth of 66%.

Enriching lives by helping people find their next home is the company’s mission, according to Chief Executive Officer James Dwiggins, who has been with the company since its inception. “At NextHome, we put humans over houses. This philosophy is fostered in every decision we make as a franchise, from our franchisees to the clients they serve in their communities across the country. It’s the belief that when you put people and their needs first, the transactions will come on their own.”

Real estate professionals need face time with clients to grow their relationships, for example. With that in mind, NextHome developed a proprietary, single sign-on platform for the company’s integrated marketing and technology tools. “Our members have access to automated solutions so they’re not spending time creating property marketing flyers and postcards but rather having those emailed directly to them once a listing goes active,” notes Dwiggins. “We strive to create efficiency and give our members back the time they need to focus on what matters most, the people.”

Another company goal is to continue educating NextHome real estate professionals to provide the best service possible to their clients and communities. “As a franchise, we value quality over quantity, and prefer to bring on NextHome agents who strive to continually educate themselves on the latest developments in real estate,” he says. “We created a 12-week program that trains newly licensed and experienced agents alike on delivering a superior experience, and we completed this virtual training recently with great success.”

NextHome was recently named number one on Franchise Business Review’s list of the Top Franchises for 2021 across all categories. NextHome was among over 300 franchise brands, representing more than 28,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research. NextHome’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

The company, which was founded in 2014, moved its corporate office to Hacienda in 2016. The real estate franchise includes more than 490 NextHome offices and over 4,500 NextHome members across 48 states. More than 30 employees work at the Hacienda office.

Each year NextHome hosts an annual conference for its franchise brokers, owners, and agents. At each conference, NextHome also creates a fundraising event to support its national charity partner, Canine Companions for Independence. Through its assistance dogs program, this nonprofit organization has a direct and incredibly positive impact on the lives of children, adults, and veterans with disabilities.
