We are impressed by Ted’s vision and his ability to deliver high-quality homes with exemplary craftsmanship over the past 15 years, growing from their headquarters in Charleston to the equally desirable housing markets of Greenville and Nashville. Our access to capital and efficient operations will enable Crescent to grow faster and achieve significant scale in each market. This transaction enhances our geographic reach and strategically diversifies our operations into three new metropolitan areas. We are looking forward to welcoming the Crescent team to the Dream Finders family!”
Ted Terry, Crescent Homes’ Founder and CEO, said, “Our partnership with Dream Finders Homes will allow the Crescent Homes Team to build upon an already successful track record and provide us with a tremendous platform for growth. I am truly excited to join forces with a team who is so closely aligned with our core values, operating philosophy and commitment to professional growth and development.
