About Our Client

My client is a premier second‑generation custom and semi‑custom home builder crafting high‑end residences primarily in Arlington, McLean, Falls Church, and Bethesda. With an emphasis on craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and personalized design, they deliver approximately 20 meticulously built homes per year-most of them single-lot custom rebuilds ranging from $2M to $2.5M.

Their culture is intentionally non‑corporate, collaborative, and hands-on, where employees feel valued, supported, and truly part of a team. Executives are approachable and actively involved in day‑to‑day work, fostering a tight-knit environment where many employees stay for years.
