A better next move.
Made together.
Know the Goodman companies. Connect your customer to the right team for buying, selling, renting, property management, storage, or selected home services. See how Goodman MoveTogether puts that coordination into practice.
Meet the Goodman family
The Goodman family of companies
Buying, selling, renting, or caring for a property: know who can help, then make a thoughtful introduction.
Buyer and seller representation, from property search and listings through negotiation and closing.
Own the brokerage relationship and communicate key transaction dates.
Agents handle representation, contracts, and transaction coordination. Other companies retain their own lease decisions, service pricing, and approvals.
Visit Harvey Goodman Realtor ↗Resident relations, leasing administration, maintenance coordination, and property operations.
Connect lease questions or owner needs to management. Never promise a lease change.
Management handles lease enforcement and authorized lease communication. Authorized personnel confirm MoveTogether eligibility and lease-related terms. Owner and investor needs receive a separate management-scope assessment.
Visit property management ↗A starting point for Goodman-managed rental opportunities and property information.
Help customers explore rentals. Describe ownership and management accurately.
Goodman Properties helps customers find rental information; Harvey Goodman Property Management performs the management work. Goodman-managed does not always mean Goodman-owned.
Explore Goodman Properties ↗Storage options for belongings during a move, staging, or downsizing.
Offer an introduction when useful. Storage is not automatically free or included.
The storage team confirms location, unit availability, pricing, access rules, and a separate agreement. Confirm the options before making any customer commitment.
Assessment of relevant property work and home-service needs, based on scope and availability.
Introduce the need and timing. Let the service team confirm fit, scope, and price.
Project acceptance and scheduling are confirmed by HGR Homes. Services are separate from brokerage and MoveTogether; not every requested project can be accepted.
Connected, not bundled. Each company confirms its own services, availability, pricing, eligibility, and agreements. An introduction does not authorize an agent to speak for another company.
The family in action
Five natural moments to help. Choose a customer situation to see how the teams work together.
Discuss homeownership and ask permission to request a Goodman MoveTogether eligibility review. The agent guides the purchase; authorized management confirms lease-related terms, whether the lease-break fee may be waived, and the obligations that remain.
Explore Goodman MoveTogether ↗Connect the seller to the rental team, using Goodman Properties to explore rental opportunities. Continue the sale while the team reviews options. Availability, application approval, deposits, and lease terms are separate; no apartment hold or seller incentive is implied.
Offer a Goodman Storage introduction for moving, staging, or downsizing. The storage team confirms location, unit availability, access, pricing, and a separate agreement. Storage is optional, not an included MoveTogether benefit.
With permission, share the requested work and relevant timing with HGR Homes. The service team evaluates scope, availability, schedule, price, and fit before accepting a project.
Introduce Harvey Goodman Property Management for a separate assessment of property needs and management scope. Continue any brokerage work. A management agreement remains a separate customer decision.
The agent standard
You own the brokerage relationship. The receiving company owns its service decisions. The customer chooses which connections to pursue.
Identify the next housing or property need. Explain which company may help.
Let the customer decide. Share only the information needed, through the approved route.
A named person on the receiving team accepts the request and owns the next step.
Keep the customer informed, report relevant changes, and continue your brokerage work.
Words you can use
“The Goodman family of companies may be able to help with more than one part of your move. With your permission, I can connect you to the right team. That team will confirm its own availability, pricing, and terms.”
The agent owns brokerage advice, representation, accurate transaction communication, and permission-based introductions.
The receiving company confirms its own eligibility, availability, pricing, contracts, approvals, and customer communication after accepting the handoff.
The customer decides whether to share information, accept the introduction, and use any service. Respect existing representation; another Goodman service is never required.
Leadership should confirm approved contacts and backups, response expectations, and escalation routes. Teams should explicitly acknowledge and accept referrals.
Use current company names, review advertised benefits, and track response time, completion, and customer outcomes without oversharing private information.
The family strategy in practice
A homebuying conversation connected to an individual lease-related eligibility review. Not a blanket waiver or an all-services package.
What Goodman MoveTogether means
The purpose is practical: help the customer understand the home purchase and the apartment lease together, instead of navigating two disconnected conversations.
A resident wants to buy a home, but their apartment lease is not over. They may assume they have to wait, or worry about the cost of leaving early. The agent should explore the question, not guess at the lease obligations.
Qualifying Harvey Goodman Property Management apartment residents who buy with a Harvey Goodman Agent may have their lease-break fee waived. The published offer requires individual confirmation of eligibility and terms. Goodman Properties ↗
Our proposed operating standard is a permission-based introduction, a named person handling the review, clear written terms, and coordinated updates through closing and move-out. The customer should know who is responsible for the next step.
The opportunity
When a resident is ready to explore buying, you have a practical Goodman connection worth discussing.
THE BENEFIT WORTH ASKING ABOUT
For qualifying Goodman apartment residents who purchase a home through a Harvey Goodman Agent.
Ask about the concern instead of assuming a renter has to wait.
You guide the purchase. Authorized management confirms the lease-related terms.
Make the introduction with permission, confirm ownership, and follow through.
Conditional offer based on Goodman Properties, reviewed September 18, 2026 under the former program name.
Who it helps
A useful conversation is not the same as program approval. These are starting points for a review, not a complete eligibility policy.
Ask whether the apartment is managed by Harvey Goodman Property Management and whether the resident plans to purchase through a Harvey Goodman Agent. The potential waiver is described for qualifying residents in that situation. Published offer ↗
Agent action: Ask permission to connect with management for a review. Do not tell the resident that those two facts alone make them eligible.
A purchase may still be exploratory, an expected closing date may move, or the lease may contain requirements the agent has not seen. Refer those questions to the authorized management team.
Agent action: Get written clarification of the applicable terms before quoting savings, promising a move-out date, or telling someone to give notice.
Do not extend the published apartment-resident waiver to every customer. A person renting elsewhere can still seek brokerage help; a seller can explore available rentals through the ordinary rental process.
Agent action: Keep services separate from program benefits. If the customer already has an agent, do not interfere with the existing representation relationship.
THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT
The published offer is a possible waiver of a lease-break fee, subject to individual confirmation. It is not a fixed-dollar savings claim or a blanket promise for all residents. Offer details ↗
WHAT STILL NEEDS AN ANSWER
Management must explain remaining rent, required notice, the approved move-out process, other charges, and any conditions tied to purchase completion. Do not assume a closing date automatically ends the lease or eliminates overlapping housing payments.
From conversation to coordination
Three agent responsibilities. One shared goal: a customer who knows what happens next.
THE AGENT STARTS HERE
Ask where the customer rents and whether the timing of the lease is affecting their plans to buy. If it is a Goodman-managed apartment, offer an eligibility review rather than deciding the answer yourself.
Open the full handoff processFrom first question to final confirmation
Recommended operating workflow for leadership approval. Final contacts, review timing, and written requirements still need to be established.
Ask where the customer rents, where they are in the buying process, and what is making them hesitate. Explain the potential benefit using “may be waived,” not “will be waived.”
Before moving onThe resident understands this is an option to investigate, not an approved waiver.
Ask the resident before sharing information. Send the minimum details through the approved route and follow up until a named person accepts responsibility for the review.
Before moving onThe agent and resident know who is reviewing the request.
Authorized management personnel review the property, lease, eligibility, fee treatment, and any necessary owner approval. The resident receives written terms, or a clear explanation that approval is still pending.
Before making commitmentsThe resident understands the possible fee treatment and remaining lease obligations.
The agent manages the brokerage relationship and purchase milestones. Management explains notice, move-out requirements, and required program documentation. Optional storage or property-service introductions are handled separately.
Keep everyone alignedPurchase dates and lease dates are discussed together, without treating them as interchangeable.
Report a delayed closing, canceled contract, or changed move-out plan promptly. Management reassesses the effect on approved terms; no one assumes the earlier arrangement automatically carries forward.
Before relying on old termsObtain updated direction when dates or circumstances change.
Provide the required purchase confirmation through the approved channel. Management verifies the conditions and documents any authorized fee adjustment and final lease treatment.
The finish lineThe resident receives the applicable management confirmation. A closing alone is not the final program record.
Within Goodman MoveTogether
You have met the companies. Here is how their responsibilities apply to the resident’s purchase and lease review, with optional connections kept separate.
Leads: The home search, brokerage relationship, transaction work, and communication about relevant purchase milestones.

Not a promise of unlimited construction capacity or services included with a purchase.
Company service descriptions: Goodman Properties, Harvey Goodman brokerage, and Harvey Goodman Property Management. Role assignments above describe the proposed coordinated operating model.
An illustrative situation, not a testimonial
A Goodman apartment resident tells an agent, “I want to buy, but I still have time left on my lease.” Instead of advising them to wait or promising a free exit, the agent asks permission to explore the program with management.
Management reviews the individual request and explains whether a fee waiver is available, what conditions apply, and which lease obligations remain. If the purchase moves forward, the agent and management exchange the relevant dates with permission.
If closing changes, the terms are revisited. After the transaction, management verifies the conditions and confirms any authorized adjustment. Storage is discussed only if the resident wants an introduction, with separate pricing and terms.
The customer can evaluate the home purchase with a clearer understanding of the lease, instead of relying on an agent’s assumptions. This example does not assume approval, a savings amount, or a particular timeline.
Keep this question close
You don’t need to have every answer. You need to know how to connect the customer with the person who can confirm it.
Find a response for the next questionThe questions behind the program
These explanations help agents frame the conversation. Individual written terms control the resident’s actual eligibility and benefit.
No automatic approval should be assumed. The offer is described for qualifying apartment residents buying through a Harvey Goodman Agent. Management must confirm the individual property, lease, and terms before the resident relies on it.
Do not quote an amount before review. The relevant lease and authorized fee treatment determine the answer. The public offer does not establish a universal fee amount, fixed credit, or guaranteed savings.
Not necessarily. A lease-break fee and ongoing rent are different obligations. Management must explain when rent ends and what else remains due; the appropriate purchase professionals address the buyer’s financing timeline.
Our recommended approach is to raise the question early, before relying on a waiver or making lease-related commitments. This is practical guidance, not a published application deadline or guaranteed response time.
Respect the existing representation relationship. The published offer references a purchase through a Harvey Goodman Agent; appropriate brokerage and program contacts should clarify the situation before any discussion of changing representation.
Do not promise them as included benefits. Storage and appropriate HGR Homes services can be explored through separate introductions, with availability, scope, scheduling, pricing, and agreements confirmed by the responsible team.
Published benefit and limits of publicly stated terms: Goodman Properties. Process recommendations do not create additional program benefits.
Turn the conversation into a next step
No online enrollment is required by this guide. There is no request-submission form or eligibility checker on this website.
The existing public guidance is to talk with the resident’s property manager or contact Goodman Properties to learn whether they qualify. Agents can help make that introduction with the resident’s permission. Published contact guidance ↗
Visit Goodman PropertiesFor internal agent referrals, leadership still needs to confirm the dedicated program contact, backup, approval authority, and approved routing. Do not send sensitive resident documents through a general email chain.
Use the approved channel. Credit reports, identity documents, complete ledgers, and unrelated financial records do not belong in a general referral message.
Copy the referral templateLeadership must finalize participating properties, eligibility rules, written approval documents, notice and remaining-rent treatment, proof of purchase, delayed/canceled closing procedures, and the referral route. Program naming and website publication do not settle those decisions.
