About Us
Principals,
Jerry and Barbara Donahoo, have worked together for over 30 of
the 40 years that they have been married. Having grown up in the
West Texas area, both have the West Texas persona, meaning they
are very friendly and view personal values and integrity as important.
They attended college at Texas Tech and have remained extremely
loyal to their school. Upon graduation, Jerry entered the US army
and served in Viet Nam being discharged with the rank of captain.
Moving to Austin in 1972, Jerry and Barbara began to acquire
valuable experience in the real estate business, which included
owning a Century 21 franchise for 12 years. By 1987, Jerry had
come to realize that his true passion lay in the field of building
homes, and the Century 21 franchise was sold so that they could
go into full time construction of custom homes. This new venture
quickly flourished, owing largely to Jerry's exceptional flair
for developing plans from scratch, and for designing focal points,
such as niches and arches that really gave their homes a "Wow!"
Barbara's
background as a real estate broker proved to be a huge advantage.
The proficiency she had gained in working with lenders and mortgage
companies enabled them to help their customers assess property
values and get more out of their investments.
Through the years, they have established excellent relationships
with vendors all over town, and a reputation for financial soundness
and trustworthiness. Jerry and Barbara work with the same fine
sub-contractors that they have been using for years. Their subcontractors
know each other personally and work together for greater efficiency
to provide the high quality their clients have come to expect
in each home. This mutual loyalty speaks volumes.
Jerry's love for construction is evident in the quality he demands
for the homes he builds. Barbara specializes in assisting each
client with all the little details necessary to make the project
flow smoothly and to help the client enjoy that process.
