A Legacy Of Success
Homes & Land is the foremost advertiser of homes for sale in North America. For nearly 35 years our quality publications have helped connect top real estate professionals with homebuyers and sellers.

Established in 1973, Homes & Land is a network of more than 340 magazines. Each year Homes & Land publishes approximately 63 million magazines covering thousands of communities across the United States and Canada. Our experience and scope have made Homes & Land one of the most recognized and trusted brand names in the real estate industry.

In addition to our print magazines, Homes & Land is a true Internet pioneer. We have been posting real estate listings online since 1992. Today, HomesandLand.com receives 1.1 million unique visitors per month, and our other online services are a vital part of the marketing program that we provide to our clients.

As a Homes & Land franchisee you will be granted an exclusive territory in which to sell advertising solutions to real estate brokers, agents, and other real estate service providers. Our products are viewed by the trillion-dollar real estate industry as both important and compelling. Successful franchisees are competitive, hard working professionals with the ability to follow our proven system. Success also means a solid future with the opportunity for great financial rewards.
