Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate recently announced the
expansion of its network into its 26th state, Kentucky, with the
addition of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Bluegrass Connection in
Lexington. The brokerage is led by owners Richard Towner and Ronald
Perry and serves the greater Lexington area. This marks the 14th U.S.
brokerage to join the brand’s growing network this year.
“Richard and Ronald have an exceptional team that knows the
home-buying process has evolved into a more engaging practice, which
involves understanding the consumer’s lifestyle and community
preference,” says Sherry Chris, president and CEO of Better Homes and
Gardens Real Estate LLC. “The agents at Better Homes and Gardens Real
Estate Bluegrass Connection recognize that a strong relationship with
the client and community is necessary in ensuring consumers find homes
that best suit their lifestyle. We are excited to add a brokerage that
directly parallels our brand mission.”
According to the company, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate
Bluegrass Connection was founded on the principles of honesty, knowledge
and innovation. The owners note that they strongly believe that it is
the responsibility of the agent to keep the consumer informed, and help
them make the best possible decision.
“We are excited to bring a new vision to the Bluegrass real estate
market area,” says Towner. “The Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate
philosophy of empowering the informed consumer resonates with today’s
homebuyers and sellers. Our agents are eager to use the unique tools
provided by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate to bring this new model
to our market.”
“Beyond the exceptional brand Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate
offers, there are additional service and marketing benefits to our
clients and our agents, thanks to the brand’s other listing programs and
tools, including commercial, urban, and luxury programs,” Perry adds.
With the new tools provided by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, our
agents will be able to strategically identify new consumers and not
have to rely on a reactive approach to marketing their home.
Additionally, we are thrilled to offer our clients relevant real estate
market insights through the brand’s social media efforts, as well as
videos for first-time buyers developed by the national brand.”
The company notes that corporate citizenship is a key tenant of the
brokerage’s philosophy. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Bluegrass
Connection plays an active role in the Lexington community. The
organization partners with Habitat for Humanity and RCHF – Real
Community Housing Foundation, a non-profit group that works with low
income and elderly families to refurbish their homes.
