Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate announced a strategic acquisition for a valued member of its network,  Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Haven Properties<\/a>, with the affiliated brokerage\u2019s acquisition<\/a> of San Luis Obispo Realty. The combined company will do business as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Haven Properties, doubling its agent count and market share to become one of the largest real estate firms in San Luis Obispo County.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Broker\/owner Gavin Payne<\/a> acquired San Luis Obispo Realty a year after acquiring Morro Bay Realty, another acquisition executed with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate.<\/p>\n

By working collaboratively with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Payne has demonstrated that strategic acquisitions can be executed with efficiency. The broker\u2019s and brand\u2019s shared focus of market share growth, cost savings and cultural alignment helps ensure a successful transaction.<\/p>\n

Better Homes and Gardens<\/a> work with their brokers\/owners on a regular basis to identify and structure unique and smart growth opportunities.

This realignment, combined with an increased market presence, enhances the brokerage\u2019s ability to provide the luxury concierge service that has been integral to its success.<\/p>\n
