HomeVestors Makes “Beautiful” $20,000 Donation

Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity Benefits from Boise Neighbors Winning The Ugliest House Of The Year® Contest 2025

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HomeVestors® presented a check for $20,000 to Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity in honor of a Boise home winning The Ugliest House Of The Year® 2025. The national contest highlights the most dramatic “befores” and “afters” from the houses purchased and renovated by HomeVestors of America’s franchises around the country, and husband and wife team Paul and Tanice Myers won the 19th annual heated competition.

HomeVestors marks a notable milestone this year as it celebrates 30 years as America’s Trusted Home Buyer. Founded in 1996, HomeVestors helped pioneer the professional real estate investor industry and the modern “house-flipping” business.

Over the years, the Myers have beautified more than 500 houses with their team of eight, bonding with grateful homeowners and neighbors as they caringly breathe new life into the homes they renovate. Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with the community to provide decent, affordable homes and to promote responsible homeownership for people in need.

“It meant a lot to feel the enthusiasm and care HomeVestors brought to this project,” said Janessa Chastain, Chief Executive Officer Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity. “Events like this don’t come together without a whole team of people willing to go above and beyond. It was clear every step of the way how invested everyone was in making a difference in our community.”

Through Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build initiative, women in the Boise area have formed teams comprised of friends, colleagues and other associates to raise money and other resources to support Habitat and help build homes. Many Women Build volunteers were on-hand for the HomeVestors check presentation with other guests from the community joining to celebrate the donation at an existing Women Build project.

“The stars aligned beautifully this year with a women-owned business winning The Ugliest House Of The Year competition, which also helped bring attention to the Women Build initiative,” added Joshua Waltzer, Chief Executive Officer of HomeVestors. “This is the fifth year we have partnered with a local Habitat for Humanity chapter to donate in honor of the annual winner, and we couldn’t be happier with how our two missions have aligned as we both work towards a shared vision of a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place to live.”
