In 1998, GMAC Home Services, a division of GM Corp., purchased Better Homes & Garden Real Estate, one of the nation's largest real estate franchises, from Meredith Corp.
Today, GMAC Home Services, under the direction of longtime industry veteran John Bearden, is well positioned to bring the gamut of home services to real estate brokers, sales associates and consumers. To accomplish this, GMAC Home Services calls on its own real estate, relocation and mortgage divisions, its relationship with parent company General Motors, as well as the strengths of sister companies such as GHS Mortgage. As a result of these vast 
resources, GMAC Home Services can bring added services and cost savings to consumers and an industry that's long been promised, "one-stop shopping."
These services range from cost savings on automobiles for sales associates, to providing home buyers and sellers with Home Rewards and essential home services they want and need - such as mortgages - all from the GM family of companies.
