For over a century, the magazine has been a trusted source of inspiration for home and garden enthusiasts, offering practical advice and aspirational content on living a beautiful, fulfilling life. In 2008, Anywhere Real Estate, a global leader in real estate services, recognized the immense potential in leveraging this powerful brand equity to create a real estate franchise that truly understood and catered to the modern homeowner's lifestyle needs. Thus, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate was born. From its inception, BHGRE wasn't just another real estate company; it was envisioned as a lifestyle brand. The core philosophy was to extend the magazine's trusted voice and aesthetic into the realm of home buying and selling. This meant focusing on more than just square footage and bedrooms, but on the overall quality of life, community, and personal expression that a home provides. This unique approach quickly resonated with consumers and real estate professionals alike, leading to rapid expansion and solidifying BHGRE's position as a distinctive player in the industry. Today, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate continues its legacy of innovation and client-centric service. With a network of 5,000-10,000 agents across 50-100 offices globally, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of a brand built on trust, inspiration, and a deep understanding of what makes a house a home. Our Alexandria office proudly carries this torch, bringing the BHGRE promise of a richer living experience to our local community. ## The BHGRE Model: A Lifestyle-Centric Approach to Real Estate What truly sets Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Alexandria apart is our distinctive lifestyle-centric model.
