Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC Renews with Prominent Virginia Brokerage

By RealtyBiz News | October 6, 2022

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today the renewal of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Native American Group in Virginia Beach, Va. 

The firm is owned and operated by Dr. Susan Jenkins, a tribal member of the Delaware Nation and Cherokee Nation, and her husband, Dr. Barry Jenkins. They launched the company in 2007 with a focus on government and bank-owned REO business and affiliated with the Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand in 2013.

While the firm’s initial franchise agreement lasted through 2023, the company wanted to convey how indispensable the brand has been by extending its franchise agreement for an additional ten years. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Native American Group’s early renewal will now result in a 20-year partnership with the BHGRE® brand.

Since joining the BHGRE® network, the company increased its sales volume nearly 970%. According to Susan, the brand has also played an integral role in extending the company’s relevance to the public and expanding the company’s scope.

This year, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Native American Group was recognized as the company with the best overall conversion rate among Leads Group members, which is a dedicated organization within Anywhere Real Estate Inc. The brokerage also received the 2022 Navy Federal Credit Union SPIRIT Award for demonstrating service excellence to Navy Federal members during the home buying and selling process. 

The firm’s commitment to best-in-class service extends to the community as well. In 2022, Susan created the "Be Better Neighbors" Initiative for community involvement and volunteering and established the Laura Billups Davis College Scholarship for individuals who have lost a parent.

Over the last nine years, the brand has been integral to our future and our ability to help people flourish.
