Subject: BIG BIG BIG NEWS!!!!
Team, just wanted to let everyone know that last night we won an unprecedented 5 National Awards from the NAHB (National Assoc of Home Builders). These are the most competitive and most prestigious awards that a U.S. Builder can get. We won “Silver” awards and at the Builders Show we will find out if any of our Silvers turn into Golds. They award the Gold Award (only 1 per category) to the best Silver Award winner in each category at the Builders Show every year. Anyway, here’s what we won:
· Best “On the Boards” Single Family Detached Home: The Milton model at Heritage Creek: Congrats to Rebecca on this one . . . . this was all Rebecca and she deserves this award. This is the best looking house I think I have ever seen. I tried for months to design this home and couldn’t get it right . . . Rebecca really rocked it on this one. Great work!!!
· Best Product Design for a Custom Home: Robinson Residence (Echelon): Great work Tim Tice on this one and nice work to Lance and especially Mike Criswell who pretty much lived in this house for 10 months.
· Best Interior Merchandising for a Model Priced Under $500,000: The Marina model at the Retreat at Love Creek: AWESOME JOB Joni . . . this was all you!!! That house looks awesome!
· Best Website for a Builder: Echelon Custom Homes: We have Ivana, Jeremy, and Mike Brown to thank for this. They did an incredible job. I think we have the best website for a custom builder in the country and I would not be the least bit surprised if we win the Gold on this one. Great work guys!!
· Best Clubhouse: Independence Hall at Independence: This was a team effort involving a lot of people. Nice work to Pat Mulligan for building the Clubhouse and Great work to Jordan for the awesome Christmas decorations.
Anyway, I couldn’t be more proud of our company and everything we’ve accomplished together. To put some perspective on this: No other DE builder has won a single National Award in the last 5 years and we won 5 IN ONE YEAR!!!! This is incredible!
This is the life and company I’ve always dreamed we’d have together and I hope all of you are having as much fun as I am.
You guys Rock!!!!
