“Our customers get the benef its of a local custom homebuilding company, while we operate with systems and resources that are better than large national builders. I know this because I was an executive for one of those companies”
Mitch Genda FRANCHISE OWNER Charlotte, NC
“AR Homes ® has a great business model for local custom homebuilders who want to grow and better manage their business. Their systems are exceptional and comprehensive. And there can be no doubt that the vast resources they provide are far beyond what custom homebuilders can typically afford on their own. I’ve enjoyed working with the AR Homes ® team because they understand the importance of continuously improving their designs, their systems, and their marketing support. Operating at the cutting edge of management and design is at the core of their business philosophy.”

“Design excellence, management professionalism and the ability to change and grow. In an increasingly competitive climate, what lessons could be more important for home builders? And what teacher would be more appropriate than Arthur Rutenberg?” “Rutenberg made an art out of ref ining, perfecting and strongly merchandising successful new house plans.” “Design is the Rutenberg hallmark. Few builders have as solid a reputation for marketable product and craftsmanship.” “Small builders are at a distinct disadvantage in management information systems when competing with national public builders, but a f ranchise network gives them the critical mass to afford computing power that matches – and in some cases exceeds – that of the big boys.”

“One of the greatest benef its of the AR Homes ® system is that our potential clients are able to experience a vast array of model homes across many states. Our plans are always on the leading edge and we know this because the local designers try to copy what we do.”

“AR Homes ® has transformed the process of selling custom homes by offering a unique and effective format. Their network of beautiful model homes creates perfect environments for engaging customers, discovering their level of dissatisfaction and offering practical solutions. They have the unique ability to deliver customerdriven custom home designs rapidly, along with highly detailed quotes. The speed and eff iciency of their sales process is smart because buyers today are conditioned to expect faster response times with more access to details. The company’s focus on constantly developing and improving product design is also very ref reshing to see in an industry that can be slow to react at times. In the custom home market AR Homes ® is truly top notch.”
Jeff Shore PRESIDENT OF SHORE CONSULTING
“The name Arthur Rutenberg has been synonymous with homebuilding quality and innovation for more than 40 years. What I love about Art’s model is how it enables custom builder/ entrepreneurs to go far beyond what they can do on their own. With an AR Homes ® f ranchise, the builder gets a proven brand name, outstanding plans and models, with sophisticated purchasing, accounting and information technology. I know of nothing else like it, and as for Arthur Rutenberg himself – he truly was an industry giant and one of the f inest men I have been honored to know.”

“Having spent over 30 years in the AR Homes ® system in various capacities, most recent as a f ranchise owner, speaks volumes of our mutual commitment. First class organization, superb support with software and designs second to none in the industry. I am proud to say I own an AR Homes ® f ranchise.”

“AR Homes ® has the best system we’ve ever seen. The brand’s technology and support allows for seamless navigation through every step of the build process, including design, sales and warranty. Plus, the collaboration between the 40+ building companies has been priceless. We feel like we’re never alone in our business, and can always reach out to our fellow builders for insight and support”.

“After 26 years in business as an independent builder we weren’t sure what a f ranchise could offer; initially the computer software offered by ARH was the motivation. Now after 14 years in the f ranchise, it’s one of the best business decisions we ever made. The training and support is second to none and of course the custom design department is directly attributable to our sales success.”

“I first learned about Arthur Rutenberg in the late 60’s-early 70’s when I was starting my career in new home sales with Leadership Housing in Florida. Observing his model center in southwest Florida, I was awestruck by Art’s sense of design, style and absolute quality. Arthur Rutenberg then was on the cutting edge of the industry, ahead of everyone. I was extremely impressed. I first met Art in person in 1974 through Lew Goodkin, a leading homebuilding industry analyst. I got to know Mr. Rutenberg very well in the mid-80s, when he retained my company, New Home Sales Specialists, to implement our program in the late 80’s for AR Homes®. He was a world class visionary, businessman and brilliantly created the AR Homes® franchise business model that has become one of the most respected and trusted high quality homebuilders in the country. Homebuilders, large and small, come and go through economic cycles, but for more than three decades, AR Homes® has maintained an unparalleled reputation for consistent quality and integrity. There are a lot of ways that builders can cut corners to lower the price, but, Art did not compromise. He never stopped striving to be better and instilled that culture throughout his organization. I work with homebuilders all over the world, and can say with confidence that AR Homes® sets a high standard by which all homebuilders can be judged.”

“I had the pleasure of nominating Arthur Rutenberg as a Legend in the homebuilding industry at this years Fall Urban Land Institute meeting. I am celebrating over 40 years as a consultant in the industry and I have never worked with a finer professional than Arthur Rutenberg. The AR Homes® name has always been viewed by its customers and peers as a high quality, high value homebuilder that has been an industry leader in the design, construction and servicing of its product. This is not merely my opinion – it is based on consumer research that my firm conducted. I have been a housing analyst for many of the nations largest national and regional homebuilders and AR Homes® has since its inception been in the very top tier of the firms that I have worked directly with or conducted research on.”
