On January 14, 2000 HomeSmart Real Estate announced its Grand Opening with only two Agents. A reputation for advanced technologies soon followed. As a result, HomeSmart rapidly developed into one of the nations fastest growing Real Estate brokerages. With a commitment to its Agents and Clients, HomeSmart has now grown to over 4,200 agents, with offices throughout Arizona and Southern California. It is the largest real estate brokerage in the Southwest and ranked among the top 5 largest real estate brokerages in the nation.
HomeSmart was founded by its’ President and CEO, Matt Widdows. It has always been privately held by Matt and his wife Colleen, and remains a family business to this day. Much of HomeSmart's success can be attributed to the combined real estate and technology background of its’ founder. In the early 1990's Matt created a technology company that focused primarily on accounts receivable systems for the medical industry. During that time Matt was licensed as a real estate agent and after selling that company in 1994, he focused his efforts full time in the real estate industry.
In early 1999, he recognized the opportunity to bring his technological expertise into real estate and the idea of HomeSmart was born. Matt created a company built around technology that provided Agents with cutting edge tools, a professional meeting and working environment, and efficiencies that would give them more time to focus on their Clients and their business. HomeSmart’s technology has allowed it to provide a consistent high level of customer service to its’ agents and clients, and prides itself on successfully blending technology with a personal touch, something that is often lost.
Today, HomeSmart continues to be a leader in the Real Estate industry by implementing technologies that empower its Agents to provide outstanding customer service to their Clients. HomeSmart agents are professional practitioners that lead their industry and are known for excellence.HomeSmart has now franchised its’ proprietary systems and plans continued growth throughout the United States, with franchises currently in Southern California and Arizona.
