My experience throughout the franchise evaluation process has been extremely positive. From the beginning, the team did an excellent job walking me through each step, making sure I understood the business model, the expectations, and what franchise ownership would actually look like. One of the things I appreciated most was their willingness to connect me with existing franchise owners. Having the opportunity to speak directly with people who are already operating the business gave me valuable, firsthand insight into both the opportunities and the realities of ownership. They also introduced me to the franchise leadership and ownership team, which helped build confidence and gave me a better understanding of the people behind the brand. What stood out most was that the process wasn’t simply about selling me a franchise. There was a genuine effort to understand my goals, evaluate whether the business was the right fit, and determine whether my territory made sense from a business perspective. I appreciated the transparency, accessibility, and guidance throughout the process. Making the decision to become a franchise owner is a significant commitment, and having the right people provide information, answer questions, and make the necessary introductions made a big difference. Overall, I felt well-informed, supported, and confident moving forward. I would encourage anyone considering franchise ownership to take advantage of the process, ask questions, and spend time talking with current franchisees. Those conversations can make all the difference.

HOMEstretch was different from square one. I evaluated a number of franchises before choosing HOMEstretch, and it stood out from the start. During my due diligence I talked with established franchisees, and all of them were happy with the franchise. I also made a point of talking with newer owners who were still struggling to get traction. Every one of them, in both groups, said the same thing: the HOMEstretch team is committed to their franchisees' success. That sounds like something every franchise says. The difference is that HOMEstretch backs it up. The team shows up for its owners. I saw that firsthand at Discovery Day, where I got real one-on-one time with the founders and their extended team, not a scripted presentation. In the end, my decision came down to three things: 1. Belief in the business model and the service 2. How current franchisees feel about the brand 3. The support from the founders and home office HOMEstretch checked all three boxes and then some. I'd give the evaluation experience five stars.

Michele and I opened our HOMEstretch territory in NE San Antonio and New Braunfels in July 2026. Here’s what I’d tell anyone considering it: Talk to as many owners as you can, in different markets. We did discovery calls with several franchisees and met one on one with several owners before signing. Ask them how long it took to get steady referrals, not just what their best month looked like. Understand that this is a relationship business, and that means making calls. Lots of calls. The work comes through realtors, so your success depends on getting in front of agents week after week. Expect to spend a big part of every day on the phone, plus office presentations, follow-ups, and showing up. It can take a lot of calls to land one consultation. If you don’t enjoy that, plan to hire someone who does, early. Know your trades and your limits. HOMEstretch is cosmetic work built around five core services: clear outs, painting, flooring, landscape clean up, and final clean. You’ll rely heavily on subcontractors, so start exploring subs and making connections early. Just don’t expect to lock anyone in before you have work for them. Good subs won’t wait around with no jobs. Budget for the ramp-up. Between the franchise fee, insurance, equipment, and marketing, there’s real money out the door before revenue catches up. Have a cushion. Lean on the network. It’s awesome. The other owners and the corporate team are a huge part of why this works. People share what’s working for them, and we’ve taken a lot of those ideas and adapted them for our market. Best part: when you call them, they answer!

The franchisee expressed a highly positive overall sentiment toward Homestretch, reporting strong satisfaction with the franchise and a very high likelihood of repurchasing and recommending it. They rated the onboarding and training, ongoing support, financial results, ROI, customer acquisition strategies, technology, and hiring experience very favorably, indicating that the opportunity has met or exceeded expectations. The only more moderate areas were the likelihood of expanding into additional units and the fit of the recommended time commitment with original expectations.
