Brokers, Title Companies, and Mortgage Companies Driving New Revenue Growth Through Homeownership Services
Innovative real estate tech franchise from MooveGuru has sold franchises in 20 States in first 180 days of offering.
Through its automated data capture and delivery platforms, the first PropTech franchise emerges from a likely source—MooveGuru. For five years, MooveGuru has been perfecting the consumer experience during their moving process. Now, the robust platform supports consumers with services throughout the homeownership lifecycle. The prop tech firm is the first to offer franchises that allow real estate service providers in brokerage, title and mortgage to purchase franchises. The MooveGuru franchise enables these companies to deliver a home ownership portal called YourHomeHub that allows homeowners to gain access to preferred local services at a discount. The success comes from being local.

YourHomeHub is the first consumer portal that is “Everything Home,” meaning it allows homeowners to manage both the financial details and physical elements of their home. The consumer can monitor extensive information about their home and local market conditions, store important documents, generate accurate estimates for home repairs and find a local contractor for over 1,000 different home service categories. Each YourHomeHub is sponsored by local real estate brands, driving top of mind marketing and revenue from consumer purchases.
The platform, provided by real estate professionals, gives a powerful homeowner resource to their customers—at no cost to them. Real estate professionals also receive exclusive marketing opportunities to their spheres of influence, which prevents competitors from engaging with their most coveted contacts from the dashboard. Startup costs, including the initial franchise fee for a unit franchise, are under $50,000.
“We have expanded our franchise coverage area to 20 states in 180 days,” said Kathleen Kuhn, President of MooveGuru. “Statewide rights have been issued in AL, CO, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MI, MS, MT, NC, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN. DC, VA, WV, MD, TX and NM scheduled to close on the 20th of January.”
Franchise owners trend towards real estate brokerages who have experience with operating affiliate companies, followed by Mortgage and Title companies. Mortgage brokers typically partner with their top real estate agents for cobranding and split the opportunity fifty-fifty for RESPA compliance. Title companies are offering the service on all their title closings. The franchise pays 10-20 percent of net subscription to franchise owners. The more subscriptions to YourHomeHub and the more leads generated for service pros, the more the franchise owner makes.
“The growth plan for our business has always been focused on how we can provide a better experience for our clients and our agents, while at the same time continuing to diversify our brokerage revenue streams,” said Michael Patterson, Broker & Owner of Maryland based RE/MAX IKON. “When I was introduced to YourHomeHub, Scott Oakley and the leadership team, I was immediately impressed with the level of talent that has been amassed and knew it was the next business we needed to add in our service offerings.”
