In January 2000, Matt Widdows launched HomeSmart in the Metropolitan Phoenix market with two agents and a vision of a revolutionary 100%-commission, full-service real estate brokerage model. His new concept focused on offering agents increased earning power and more hands-on support, backed by a robust, integrated proprietary transaction and marketing platform provided at no additional cost. 25 years later, Widdows’ innovative model has grown to become the nation’s largest 100% commission brokerage and a top contending real estate player.

Now the largest residential real estate brokerage in Arizona by agent count, sales volume and closed transaction sides, HomeSmart has expanded to over 25,000 agents nationwide through a series of acquisitions and franchise partnerships, with over 250 physical office locations coast-to-coast.

Widdows remains dedicated to defying the status quo, anticipating and adapting to the needs of real estate professionals in every market. His commitment to efficient, tech-forward systems and structures have enabled him to operate successfully throughout the industry’s ever-changing landscape.
