A note from John:
Families and their homes have certainly changed since my father began building homes in the 1950s. But the essentials are much the same: families still want homes that express their unique personalities, streamline their daily tasks, help them pursue their dreams and celebrate their milestones.
“When are your kids’ birthdays?” is one of the first questions I ask a couple when we begin to plan their new home. A birthday party is not a matter of bricks and mortar. But it’s a special chapter in a family’s story. The new home – its great room or playroom, patio or pool – will be the stage for that long-remembered chapter.
I understand the pressures on these families: their time is precious, and their decisions are critical. Their new homes will play a huge role in their emotional, physical and financial futures.
I often spend the better part of a year face-to-face with these families, listening to their ideas, sketching out plans and helping them navigate a well-orchestrated series of decisions. In the course of our collaboration, I bring in other seasoned professionals – architects and design consultants, landscapers and experts in emerging technology.
Our team remains committed to the philosophy of my father, which was to always exceed expectations. He set the bar very high in terms of craftsmanship, materials and anticipating what’s ahead. Today, as I guide families through the planning and building of their dream homes I carry on his tradition.
I joined the Anco team when I was 13 years old. One of my first assignments fell under the category of finishing touches: just before the new family moved in, I would scrub the bathtub until it sparkled. I can still remember the excitement and anticipation, when those families opened the door to their new homes – and new lives.
I am deeply honored by the trust that our buyers place in the Anco team – and by the opportunity to set the stage for the wonderful stories that will unfold in these homes.
