What Is HomeSmiles?
HomeSmiles is a franchise for operating a property maintenance business that provides property maintenance services for residential and commercial properties. The franchisor licenses a System that requires use of designated System Supplies - including a Sales Center, products, supplies, warranties, equipment and Service Vehicle(s) - and permits administrative operation from a home-based office if permitted by law. Franchisees serve a mix of residential homeowners and commercial customers such as property owners, property managers and real estate agents and must offer only the Approved Services and Products using System Supplies purchased through the franchisor, its affiliates, or approved suppliers.
