Pleasanton, CA — March 18, 2025 — NextHome has once again been given the prestigious recognition as one of the nation’s Top Franchises for Women by its female franchise owners.
This is the sixth consecutive year that NextHome has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a Top Franchise for Women. Only 100 brands were named to the 2025 list of award winners. The accolade was based on anonymous survey feedback.
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises semi-annually in its Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.
“I am incredibly proud that women represent 56 percent of NextHome franchise owners,” said Charis Moreno, Vice President of Sales at NextHome. “Knowing that those women find value in the NextHome franchise bolsters our drive to support talented people, no matter race, gender, or background, who share our vision, provide value, make a difference, and raise the bar in our industry.”
NextHome, Inc. is an independently owned national franchisor with a focus on changing the way consumers work with local agents and shop for real estate online. Founded in 2014, NextHome has over 600 offices and 6,000+ members across the country. The company closed over 30,000 transactions in 2024 worth over $11B in volume.
NextHome was among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. NextHome’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full- or part-time basis,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture, and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations and 3 out 4 said they would recommend their franchise to others—powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”
