Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today that Real Estate Central, LLC, based in Cross Lanes, W. Va., has affiliated with the BHGRE® brand. It will now be known as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Central. The company, which enjoys nearly a 20% percent market share, will continue to cover Charleston and serve Kanawha, Putnam, Cabell, and Jackson counties.
Broker/owner Josh McGrath and business partner Angie McCown launched the firm in 2005 and have grown it from a one-office, four-agent company to a regional powerhouse with five offices and 85 agents. It was named the top real estate firm in the Kanawha Valley in 2019 by the Charleston Gazette.
McGrath, who has 21 years of experience, is one of the state’s most accomplished young real estate professionals having earned the West Virginia REALTOR® of the Year and 40 under 40 award by the West Virginia State Journal’s Generation Next in 2016. The past President of the Kanawha Valley Board of REALTORS® was also recently named to West Virginia Executive magazine’s 2020 Young Guns class which salutes the next generation of Mountain State leaders.
Charleston, the state Capitol, and the nearby region is ideal for white-water rafting, hiking, skiing and numerous other outdoor activities. Its population is increasing led by nearby Putnam County, the fastest growing county in West Virginia. The region has seen an increased number of remote workers who take advantage of affordable living along with the proximity to Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Columbus.
