Who We Are

We are the new home sales team at Thrive Companies, and we’re proud to be part of an organization that brings every aspect of community building together. Thrive Companies is more than just a developer—we're a team of experts in construction, property management, sales, marketing, finance, wellness, and more. This fully integrated approach lets us give clients a seamless, end-to-end experience. We're dedicated to delivering homes that reflect Thrive’s commitment to quality, innovation, and client satisfaction.

Our Team

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions, and we recognize it’s both a significant financial and emotional journey. That’s why we’ve assembled a dedicated team of knowledgeable Client Experience Managers to flip the script on the typical real estate transaction. We’re here to make it more than just a transaction; our focus is on building trust, understanding your vision, and being by your side from start to finish.

We work closely with you to understand your preferences and match you with a home that meets your needs, whether it's a new build or a quick delivery option. Our team will guide you through the home-buying process, from the initial search through closing, so you have a straightforward and transparent experience.

Our Philosophy

We believe that a home is more than just a place to live—it’s a foundation for your best life. That’s why we approach every build and every client interaction with the philosophy that people come first. We’re committed to creating homes that don’t just meet high standards of quality but that also serve as spaces for connection, growth, and lasting memories. Our focus on thoughtful design, exceptional service, and vibrant communities ensures that every Thrive home is built to support the life you envision.

Building Stronger Connections

We believe that building community means fostering connections with local businesses that make each neighborhood special. Our Thrive Card program provides homeowners with a free digital pass for exclusive discounts, activities, and experiences at local businesses. Upon moving in, you will gain access to ongoing deals, contests, and exclusive events through the Thrive Card. From dining and shopping to wellness and entertainment, this pass connects you with partners who share our vision of vibrant communities.
