Three Builders Win Gift Cards in Survey Drawing

Congratulations to the three builders who won prizes for their participation in our monthly surveys this summer. The builders' names were selected at random from a pool of all participants from June through August. We thank Dirk and Jerry for their feedback and are pleased to feature them and their companies on our website. We also thank our third winner for his participation, and are complying with his request that we not identify him.

Dirk Neumann, Director of Land Acquisition, Market Research and Product Design, Minto Florida - 1st prize

Dirk is based in Minto Communities' Southeast Florida office in Coconut Creek and has been an integral member of the Minto team for 11 years. Minto incorporates innovative living environments with state-of-the-art design, winning numerous local and national awards for:

  • The best communities
  • Home designs
  • Customer experience
  • Green building

A leader in environmental sustainability, Minto builds energy- and resource-efficient new homes and communities as part of their commitment to make the world a better place. In business since 1955, this Canadian-based builder and developer has been in Florida for over 30 years, with almost 20,000 homes completed. Minto Communities is currently building a mix of detached and attached homes in the Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie markets on the east coast plus Tampa and Sarasota/Bradenton on Florida's west coast.

Dirk shared his good fortune by ordering a pizza party to enjoy with his team!

Jerry Novak, Division Manager, Development Services Group, Classic Homes - 2nd prize

Jerry focuses on land acquisition and development for Classic Homes in Colorado Springs. Classic Homes believes that quality, value, and customer satisfaction must never be compromised in the process of delivering a home to its buyers. The selection of building materials, trade contractor partners, and the dedication of its employees are driven by Classic's mission- and value statements, and by the knowledge that they are not merely building homes, but communities, creating new friends and neighbors in the process. The Classic Homes team offers the following awards and citations as a small sample of its achievements:

  • Rated #1 in New Home Quality (4 years running)
  • Rated #1 in New Home Customer Satisfaction
  • Three MAME Grand Awards
  • Three Better Business Bureau Excellence in Customer Service Awards - the only builder to have received the Colorado Springs Better Business Bureau's "Excellence in Customer Service" award on three separate occasions-a true testament to the care and commitment we show our homebuyers before, during, and after they've become members of our communities.
  • Selected as a finalist for the National Association of Homebuilders National Quality Award
  • ENERGY STAR for Homes Leadership in Housing Award

Survey open to builders with active communities.
