Local Builder Thanks Employees, Homebuyers and Building Partners for Its Success
VISALIA, Calif. – July 31, 2023 –
San Joaquin Valley Homes (SJV Homes) announces its 10th anniversary as a local home builder, marking a decade of commitment to the community and dedication to providing exceptional homes to Valley residents.
Founded in 2013 by industry veterans Joe Leal, Jim Robinson and Randy Merrill, the company has flourished over the years, earning a reputation for superior craftsmanship and unwavering customer service. The founders celebrated on Friday by recognizing their team of professionals, which has grown from less than 10 in the beginning to 85 strong today.
SJV Homes recently closed its 3500th home and has been recognized as one of the nation’s most active homebuilders for five years in a row by the prestigious
Builder 100 List. Last year, the company was selected as a “2022 Builder of Choice,” which recognizes builders who have developed strong, lasting partnerships with suppliers and contractors in their local markets.
“Our steady growth over the past decade relies on our relationships with business partners, local officials and homebuyers who trust a local builder,” said Robinson. “We have always been committed to providing much-needed affordable housing in the Valley while generating hundreds of local jobs.”
San Joaquin Valley Homes understand the importance of creating lasting relationships with its customers. The company’s commitment to homebuyers begins from the very first handshake and extends well beyond the moment the keys are handed over, earning the loyalty of its customers one home at a time.
“Our success is built on a foundation of trust, and we are honored that our customers have chosen us to build a home for their family,” said Merrill. “We are dedicated to being the best at what we do, and we take great pride in building quality homes and neighborhoods that families can cherish for generations. We will be here to support our customers for many years after they’ve moved in.”
San Joaquin Valley Homes extends heartfelt thanks to our local communities in the Valley for their support over the past decade. With a continued commitment to stellar service and quality, the company aims to grow its family of satisfied customers in the Valley for years to come.
