HVA has been ranked 56th among the prestigious Dallas 100™ by the Caruth Institute at the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University. This is the 16^th annual ranking of the Dallas 100, and the fifth consecutive year for HVA to be included.

“We are proud to be ranked among this impressive group of companies,” says John P. Hayes, president and CEO of HomeVestors. “While our 250-plus franchises buy and sell houses in 31 states, HomeVestors could not have a better corporate home than Dallas.”

To qualify for the Dallas 100, a Dallas-based company must be an independent, privately held entity with sales of more than $500,000 and not more than $65 million, with a three-year sales history reflecting growth, and a credit report satisfactory to the Dallas 100 Committee.
