Getting to know your builder is tougher, because many builders use marketing statements that you like, but is that really who they are? We feel that the best way to get to know any business is direct feedback from their customers. That is why we survey every one of our buyers after they’ve purchased an Ivey home. For 11 years now we have received top scores in customer satisfaction. Many builders will tell you that they have high satisfaction ratings, but our reviews are available online for anyone to see. Are theirs? We, Mark, and Matt Ivey, were introduced to the homebuilding industry in 1984 when our father, Jake Ivey, started building homes in the Augusta area. While the opportunity was there to work for our father after college, we both felt it was important to establish ourselves independently and we had other aspirations at the time. Mark went on to be Vice President of a statewide engineering firm, while Matt became a Vice President for a multi-national real estate firm. While both brothers experienced success in their respective fields, the entrepreneurial bug they picked up from their father never left them. In 2004, Ivey Residential was formed. When we started Ivey Homes, we wanted to differentiate ourselves from the competition. We knew that with our name as part of the company, we did not want to be the lowest price per square foot builder. With the success we’d had prior to starting Ivey Homes, Mark’s civil engineering degree and Matt’s master’s in real estate, we felt like we could create a system and environment where we could offer a better home at a very competitive price while providing good personalization choices and options, and in a framework that made the process easier. Despite the ebbs and flows of homebuilding, from recessions to pandemics, we’ve continued to do well.
