Earlier this year, Eldon Homes won Best Emerging Home Builder — Wisconsin by BUILD Magazine; an Avid CX Benchmark Award from Avid Ratings; and recently Best Residential Builder — Madison from Madison.com People’s Choice Awards.
“It’s humbling and energizing,” said Rob Hostrawser, president of the Stoughton-based company. “Winning consistently reinforces that we’re building more than homes, we’re building trust, relationships and community.”
Eldon Homes specializes in new home construction and offers a dozen and a half architectural designs and meticulously thought-out floor plans. Styles range from ranch to two-story homes, on individual lots or in one of the company’s award-winning developments.
Marrying style and function, homebuyers can customize the homes’ interiors to match their family’s tastes and needs. From financing and comprehensive quotes to integrating utilities, interior finishes, home inspections and hand-over, the Eldon team walks customers through the homebuilding process every step of the way.
In tight real estate markets, where buyers outnumber sellers, the team works with customers to design, build and finish homes of exceptional quality while prospective buyers wait for older homes to appear on agents’ listings.
From a business perspective, the awards elevate Eldon Homes’ credibility and help reinforce buyer confidence. More important for Hostrawser, they strengthen the company’s partnerships with municipalities, lenders and trade partners.
“It’s a signal to the market,” he said, “that Eldon Homes is dependable, forward-thinking and here for the long haul.”
Currently, the company is offering exclusive, competitive loan financing, with team members on hand to help customers understand the mortgage process and connect them with the best lenders.
While all three awards are meaningful, the one tied directly to community recognition carries special weight, according to Hostrawser. “When local families, homeowners and peers validate what we’re doing,” he said, “that’s the ultimate confirmation that we’re making a positive impact where it matters most.”
But Hostrawser is quick to point out that the company’s success is the result of a collective effort by the entire Eldon team — from the office to the field, trade partners to local officials — plus the most important constituent.
“Ultimately, it’s about the families who call our houses home,” he said. “They are the reason we do what we do.”
In the foreseeable future, Eldon Homes will be focused on many of the most important trends in residential homebuilding today, among them attainable housing, energy efficiency and smart design.
“In three years,” Hostrawser said, “I see Eldon Homes not only building more neighborhoods across southern Wisconsin but also being recognized as a leader in thoughtful, community-centered development.”
Given the company’s superlative track record, the level of leadership appears all but certain.
