John Ho , CEO , shares the secret to Landsea Homes ’ sustainable success
To give us an insight into the company you ’ ve created , could you share the journey that led you to starting Landsea Homes ( Landsea )?
I was with JLL back in 2012 advising institutional investors and real estate developers . At that time , one of my international clients was looking to enter residential real estate development in the United States . Because I was so intimately familiar with the deals , the investor ultimately asked me to lead what is now Landsea Homes . It was an exciting opportunity , but it was challenging . I knew the deals and I had done all the research , and while I didn ’ t have homebuilding experience , I had a deep passion for business and an interest in the homebuilding industry . It really came down to trusting the expertise of those around me to learn and grow from them .
