In 1998, GMAC Home Services, a division of General Motors Corporation, purchased Better Homes & Garden Real Estate, one of the nation’s largest real estate franchises, from Meredith Corporation.
Today, GMAC Home Services, under the direction of longtime industry veteran John Bearden, is well positioned to bring the gamut of home services to real estate brokers, sales associates and consumers. To accomplish this, GMAC Home Services calls on its own real estate, relocation and mortgage divisions, as well as its relationship with parent company General Motors. As a result of these vast resources, GMAC Homes Services can bring added services and cost savings to consumers and an industry that’s long been promised, "one-stop shopping."
