I work with people to make sure the lots are ready and help the other builders when they need assistance. This company has always put the customer first. As the Vice President of Construction , it's my job to make sure we don't forget that. Not that with the great builders we have, that's much of a problem. I'm always available to help out a customer if they run into a problem or have something they don't understand."

Byron Hart
"I may have the most unique job in the homebuilding industry. My job is to make sure our customers get more value after the closing. A few weeks after the closing, I contact customers to set up an appointment to do our Satisfaction Inspection. During the inspection, I make sure everything is right, review how to maintain the home, review the Home Buyers 2-10 Warranty Program and Heritage Homes Warranty Service. One of the most satisfying aspects of my work is that during the Satisfaction Inspection many customers tell me about friends they have referred to Heritage Homes. That makes me proud of our entire organization."
