WHY PROFESSIONALS CHOOSE DREAMMAKER
Brent Bailey didn’t leave his corporate job because he had to. He left because he couldn’t ignore the pull toward something more fulfilling.
“I realized I wasn’t doing what I was meant to do,” says Brent, a former finance professional in Huntsville, AL. “I was crunching numbers. I wasn’t being creative, and I wasn’t having the impact I wanted.”
Like many of our franchise owners, Brent had a choice to make. He had built a career, but it wasn’t providing the purpose or independence he was seeking. That’s when he made the decision to step out of corporate life and into business ownership with DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.
Today, Brent leads a thriving remodeling business that allows him to build a future on his own terms, while making a lasting impact on the families he serves.
5 Reasons to Consider a DreamMaker Franchise
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling is deeply personal. These are the spaces where families gather, start their days, and unwind at night. As a DreamMaker franchisee, you don’t just renovate homes; you transform the way people live. The look on a client’s face when they see their new space for the first time is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
