HRN's helps contractors break into new neighborhoods.
There are no upfront fees.
Commissions paid to an HRN are considered to be a sales and marketing expense and are therefore, tax-deductible.
Being referred by an HRN signifies a high level of customer service and professionalism and helps contractors differentiate themselves from less reputable businesses

Most HRN owners turn a profit in the first 3-6 months of operation and owners have reported referral commissions of more than $10,000 per month in their second and third years of operation.

On average, it takes approximately 8-12 weeks to get an HRN up and running.
