Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today the affiliation of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Heritage Group, based in Chino Hills, California. The brokerage has served the surrounding San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties for the past 19 years.
The company was first established in 2004 by Larry Black, the firm’s current broker/owner, and Josephine Taylor, the acting broker associate owner. Black has been involved in real estate for more than 40 years, earning his license in 1978. Throughout his career, Black has been appointed to multiple positions in his local REALTORS® association. Most recently he was named the chair of the federal committee for the California Association of REALTORS® in 2023. Taylor boasts her own extensive background of service and achievement. She earned her license in 1984; shortly after receiving her broker’s license, she opened her own mortgage company in 1992. She has been named a C2EX ambassador by National Association of REALTORS® in 2023.
Black and Taylor are highly regarded as leaders in residential, commercial, land, and multi-unit property sales, and are known for their considerable expertise in mortgage products and practices. They promote a collaborative culture within the office and pride themselves on their extensive regional knowledge and experience.
Located only an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles, Diamond Bar, Chino Hills, and Chino are some of the most desirable areas in California thanks to its proximity to the city as well as its suburban feel. Chino Hills State Park offers over 90 miles of trails for hikers, cyclists, and all other outdoor enthusiasts and is complemented by high-end shops and restaurants as well as multiple museums for history buffs. Chino Hills is a premier destination for education. The local school system boasts some of the highest test scores in the county, while opportunities for higher education abound with Cal Poly Pomona University, Mount San Antonio College and Western University all located nearby.
The area offers a very diverse job market, as there are plenty of opportunities within the suburbs and metros of Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. In addition to retail employers, local parks and resorts serve as major employment opportunities as well as numerous tech companies setting up new branches in the region.
