About the Builder
In 1991,
after 15 years of working within
the
world of corporate real estate, developing
large-scale residential and commercial projects throughout the Midwest and
southern states, Scott Gillespie decided it was time to put his experience
and know-how to work and established Gillespie Homes,
Incorporated. Since that time, Scott and his close-knit team have worked
tirelessly to create a company that is recognized as a leader in the home
building industry, one that is known for its innovative ideas and
superior designs.
Scott
sums up the company’s philosophy this way: “I put my family name
on the masthead of the business because I knew from the start that I wanted
to build
a company that I would always be proud of. I never
wanted to concentrate on ‘growth for growth sake’
with the goal of simply becoming a large-scale homebuilder. Instead, I wanted
us to be
recognized and distinguished as one of the
finest homebuilders in the market areas we
build in. I am a perfectionist by nature,
so I set out to create an organization
that mirrored this trait – a company
that develops a product that stands out
from all other competitors. Everyone
who works for and with us is extremely
proud of where we started and where
we are today.”
Over
the years, Gillespie Homes
has received numerous awards for
their homes and new communities.
However, as Scott states: “Awards
are very nice and we are proud of
those honors, but the true measure
of our success is how people react
when they visit one of our new
communities and inspect our homes.
We are especially thrilled when people
visit one of our models, after shopping
what the market has to offer, and they
say: ‘This is it! This is exactly what we
have been looking for!’”
The
Gillespie Homes’ corporate mission statement
consists of three words:
“Details, Quality & Character”
and these distinct characteristics are in
everything
the company creates –
from their unique cluster home communities,
to their million dollar plus custom homes.
