Listen "Gary Simonds - Simonds Family Office"
Episode Synopsis
Spanning three generations of its namesake, delivering more than 45,000 individual homes (and still counting) and sitting among the top five homebuilders in the nation, Simonds Homes is an iconic force within the property industry.
Patriarch of the family, Gary declares that no one is born a volume builder. In his view, it takes “a lot of hard work, dedication and application – and a supportive family”. The recipe may be a little bit more complex than that, but what stands out significantly is his sincerity with regard to family contribution.
Over the past 70 years, Simonds has enjoyed more triumphs than can possibly be retold in a single sitting. Conversely, they’ve gone through numerous hardships too. Through every moment, however, the narrative has been shaped by the concept of family. Theirs, yours and ours.
