Do you want to run a homebuilding company in a flourishing market, taking ownership of its success in a very real sense? If so, a highly respected national builder is looking for an experienced housing executive or entrepreneur to expand its footprint in Nashville. Housing inventory in this market hit an all-time low last summer, when housing starts were at a seven-year high and prices continued to climb. To keep pace with pent-up demand, the right leader will soon have the chance to establish a new operation in this market.

This expansion is part of a unique homebuilding franchise program, which has become the largest of its kind over the past 40 years. It empowers ambitious local builders with business resources that rival their largest competitors’. These include award-winning home designs, sophisticated software, valuable supply chain resources, training and back-office support. Most of all, franchise owners benefit from a brand that has become synonymous with quality among high-end home buyers. This organization’s expansive model home network lets potential customers experience the craftsmanship themselves. All models are on display seven days a week, increasing sales velocity and allowing franchises to reduce risk by operating primarily as pre-sale builders. The leaders of this national company, along with the owner of this market’s successful first franchise, feel the growth in Nashville merits a second company, potentially in submarkets selected to suit the successful candidate. This could make an excellent career move for an experienced construction executive ready to trade in the bureaucracy of a large organization for the strategic challenges that come from owning an independent business. Likewise, this opportunity could offer an existing local homebuilder the chance to take his or her business to a completely new level.
