Pleasanton, CA — November 6, 2025 — NextHome was identified by independent research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2025 Top Franchise for Veterans. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners. This is the fifth consecutive year NextHome has earned this accolade.
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. The NextHome franchise, founded in 2014, has over 600 offices and nearly 6,000 members across the country.
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 annual rankings of the top franchises each year, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.
To identify the companies on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Veterans, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 2,100 franchise owners representing 365 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.
“Veterans exploring franchise ownership have many options to choose from, but it’s not always easy to know which brands truly deliver,” said Eric Stites, Founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “While many franchises advertise incentives for veterans, what matters most is the experience after the contract is signed. Our independent surveys capture feedback directly from veteran franchise owners, and the brands on this year’s list earned the highest satisfaction ratings from them—making these companies stand out as top choices for veterans ready to transition into business ownership.”
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, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.
“We’re deeply honored to be recognized as a top franchise for veterans for the fifth consecutive year,” said Charis Moreno, NextHome’s Chief Revenue Officer and a U.S. Navy veteran. “Those who have served our country bring an unmatched sense of dedication, integrity, and service, qualities that make them exceptional real estate professionals as they guide people through one of life’s most meaningful journeys: finding their next home.”
NextHome is incredibly honored to have so many veterans as part of our franchise family. Their dedication, resilience, and commitment to service enrich our organization and align perfectly with our mission to put HumansOverHouses®. We’re grateful for their contributions and proud to support them in building successful real estate careers with NextHome.
