Focused on providing superior quality at an affordable price point , the company has successfully carved out a niche for itself in the firsttime and move up buyer market . As Vice President , Blake Friesenhahn , begins : “ We have been working diligently to define and grow the business throughout the DFW market since our first closings in 2018 . In the last three years , we ’ ve closed just under 300 homes each year . This year , we anticipate taking that figure past the 300 mark and beyond . We are positioned to grow exponentially in the foreseeable future .”

QUALICO , a fully integrated real estate company with over 70 years of experience in homebuilding , provides guidance and support to Pacesetter Homes DFW as it continues an impressive growth trajectory .

It understands the nuances of different markets and provides the division flexibility to position Pacesetter Homes to where we believe would make us successful in the DFW market .”
QUALICO and the Pacesetter brand extends across western Canada and into the US with a second division in Austin . While there are significant differences between US and Canadian operations , the two US divisions work closely together in many areas with QUALICO providing a broader group structure and systems support . “ That ’ s been a huge asset as we ’ ve gone on this journey , establishing ourselves in a new market .
“ QUALICO has an entrepreneurial and collaborative mindset . Its flexibility is unique for a company of its size . Each division is allowed to operate in a way that is best suited for its environment and market conditions , and QUALICO ’ s leadership recognizes that .”
“ Overall , QUALICO provides an excellent foundation - one that ’ s a great environment , with the support , capital , flexibility , and ability to grow . Homebuilding in the US , and certainly DFW , has changed quite a lot in recent years . Especially on the land acquisition side , that is more capital intensive than ever on homebuilders in DFW , so we ’ ve benefited from their support .”
