a part of our family. I think that’ s the secret sauce to our success. We treat everybody like they are family; it feels like we’ re in this together with our buyers, and we want to make sure that they’ re taken care of- not only for now, but forever. We don’ t always get everything right, but we’ re always learning; I’ ve been doing this for over 30 years and I learn something new every day.”
Ambitious vision
Having received countless awards, including the Builder of the Year award for four years in a row, Eric outlines the key factors that have contributed to the company’ s longevity and ongoing success:“ Doing the right thing is the most important element. Building a house is not for the faint of heart. It should be fun; it should be enjoyable, but it isn’ t always for everybody. We work with clients to make adjustments for them in the best way we can in order to achieve their dream home. A big part of our longevity is the relationship we develop with our buyers over the course of that process.”
Eric then looks to the future, concluding with the company’ s vision for the coming years:“ We’ ve put together an amazing team here and we’ ll continue to grow. We have model homes that are open in the Palm Coast market, which will help increase that growth. We’ ll add about 20 percent to our portfolio in this coming year.
“ Everything looks bright and we’ re right on track to meet or exceed every goal we set. The business is doing better than it ever has. In the next three or four years, we are looking to expand the markets we are active within. We want to bring the same methodology and quality to new areas. We also want to double our turnover, which is currently $ 25 million, in the next four to five years.” ■
