Homes & Land Reports Record Franchise Growth In 2006

Company's Financial Strength Apparent Even in "Cooler" Real Estate Market

(Wednesday, February 28, 2007) - Homes & Land today announced
that it added 25 new franchises in 2006, a record year in its franchise
development history. The company also facilitated the transfer of existing
franchises in six markets. The new affiliates bring the total number of
franchises in the Homes & Land network to 337. A full list of the new
markets is provided later in this release. Specific Homes & Land franchise
owners are available for local interviews by emailing
WickerR@homesandland.com or accessing http://www.HomesAndLand.com. While some
areas are sold out, the company still has target markets available for
franchise development.
"We are fortunate to attract forward-thinking business people who view
our relationship as a strategic partnership," said Brian Crawford, Vice
President of Franchise Development for Homes & Land. "This partnership and
the powerful advertising vehicles we provide are the keys to our success
even in today's cooler real estate climate. We welcome our new affiliates
and look forward to our continued growth as well as serving home buyers and
sellers across the nation."
In addition to its record year, Homes & Land was recently recognized
for its growth and stability in the current Franchise 500(R) issue of
Entrepreneur magazine. The company placed at number 95 in the overall
rankings and number two in the Advertising Services category. Homes & Land
began in 1973, primarily as a magazine offering real estate brokers the
opportunity to advertise their top listings. The company has evolved into
an integrated advertising platform for real estate professionals. The value
of the Homes & Land brand is evidenced not only by the quality of its print
publications, but also by an innovative website (http://www.HomesAndLand.com), and
a full spectrum of direct mail and marketing programs.
