“
I ’ m passionate that everybody in my team feels like an important spoke in the overall wheel
“ I was really lucky to fall into working for a real estate developer when I left college , as I learned so much during those years and it set me up for an extensive career in homebuilding ,” begins Grove . “ When I first founded the business , I spent the better part of 15 years building primarily specification homes ; we weren ’ t a big production builder ,
“ but instead completed smaller spec properties to an exceptional standard .
