deliberately made the decision for our Country Walk community to not have any amenities that would , in turn , raise the homeowner ’ s association fees enough to make a house unaffordable . Nonetheless , the way we designed the roads resulted in a peaceful , airy , and open atmosphere within the community . Even though they are part of our traditional product line , we added green spaces , which makes Country Walk feel like a very bougie neighborhood without the associated high price tag . I am particularly proud of having been able to create more affordable new homes in the area as this is something that is very important to me ,” she highlights .
Strategic growth planning
Dream Finders places a strong emphasis on fostering healthy relationships with suppliers to successfully conduct its projects . Lori describes the dynamic between the company and its valued supply chain . “ Obviously , one of our primary objectives is to generate profits , which couldn ’ t be possible without our vendors . While we strive to compensate our suppliers fairly , we also have a bottom line and profit margin to uphold . Occasionally , some builders attempt to drastically renegotiate pricing or find ways to cut costs . However , we prefer not to engage in such practices to avoid hindering our vendors , because they are so important to us and without them , we couldn ’ t build any homes . This would have disastrous consequences on homebuyers who would be left without a place to live . Thus , we understand that everyone must work together symbiotically , and maintaining strong relationships with our vendors is crucial . To do so , we not only compensate them fairly , but also organize special events with them . One such event involved a skeet shooting trip , aimed at enhancing cross-company team building , ensuring Dream Finders staff would connect with our vendors . Besides that , we often go out to dinner and arrange other fun outings with our trades . Furthermore , during our monthly meetings with all the superintendents and builders , we encourage our vendors to join us , allowing them to talk to everyone and have lunch together . It is essential to establish those one-on-one relationships , since they are not just working for us ; we completely rely on them , and they need to know how much we appreciate them ,” she explains . With the recent opening of a new division in Tampa , Florida , Dream Finders is poised for further growth driven by acquisitions as the company will soon expand into Tennessee and increase South Carolina presence . Moreover , by nurturing strong vendor relationships , Dream Finders is prepared to offer more innovative housing throughout the US . ■
