DSLD Homes Awarded Builder of the Year
This has been an extraordinary year for DSLD Homes, located in Louisiana and Mississippi. They received Professional Builder’s 2011 Builder of the Year award and have grown to building over 700 homes a year. Founded only 3 years ago by Saun Sullivan and 5 partners, DSLD Homes has risen to the top and endured the market crash and economic pressure. They also had to overcome the normal obstacles that face new building companies — convincing suppliers, trade contractors, building inspectors, Realtors, and developers that DSLD was as good as its word. From the beginning, the vision was to create a very tight, fundamentally sound, production home-building operation.
Sullivan and his colleagues came into the market with an extremely well informed local knowledge of the best neighborhoods, school districts, and other places where homes would sell relatively quickly. They fused that knowledge with a devotion to keeping their word with all of their partners to develop a positive reputation that could eventually become their hallmark. By creating good partnerships with trade contractors, Realtors, and in every other part of their business, three-year-old DSLD behaves as if there remains for them a lot to prove to themselves and the market. When asked when the company will begin to feel more secure with its place in the market, Sullivan indicates that that day is still way out on the horizon.
