2007 Marks HomeVestors’ Sixth Consecutive Appearance in the Prestigious Ranking

DALLAS – HomeVestors® of America, Inc., the company famous for its "We Buy Ugly Houses"® billboards, has been ranked 82nd among the prestigious Dallas 100™ by the Caruth Institute at the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University.

This is the 17th annual ranking of the Dallas 100™, and the sixth consecutive year for HomeVestors to be included.

“We are proud to be ranked among this impressive group of companies,” said John Hayes, president and CEO of HomeVestors.  “We have some 260 franchise locations across 35 states, but HomeVestors could not have a better home for our headquarters than Dallas, which is conveniently located to the rest of the country and also enjoys a dynamic, investor-rich market.”
