The idea was born... HomeSmart was originated by its Founder & Chairman, Matt Widdows. On January 14, 2000 HomeSmart Real Estate announced its Grand Opening to the Phoenix marketplace with only two Agents. A reputation for advanced technologies soon followed. As a result, HomeSmart rapidly developed into one of the nation’s fastest growing Real Estate brokerages. With a commitment to its Agents and Clients, HomeSmart has now grown to over 10,000 agents, with offices throughout Arizona and Southern California. It is the largest real estate brokerage in the Southwest and ranked among the top 10 largest real estate brokerages in the nation. HomeSmart PV & Associates is an independently owned and operated franchise with offices throughout California's Central Valley from Stockton to Fresno. HomeSmart offers 100% commission to it's agents while providing the latest tools and technology to help our clients buy and sell real estate and optimize their experience.
