“In Their Own Words”

A History of Trust
"You can tell a lot about a company by looking into its history. Look into ours and you'll find that we've built more than 250,000 homes across the country since 1967. That says quite a bit about the trust so many families have put in us over the years and how hard we've worked to earn it. Our constant aim is to deliver quality, value and an enjoyable customer experience with every home we build."

- R. Chad Dreier, Ryland Chairman, President and CEO

National Strength, Local Focus
We're a Fortune 500 Company. We're traded on the New York Stock Exchange (RYL). And we have hundreds of communities throughout the nation. Our size means big advantages for our homebuyers. It allows us to buy land in great locations, hire the most experienced team members, from subcontractors to management, and buy quality materials at a savings we can pass on to our customers.

Even though we're a national company, we find that much of our success, and your satisfaction, comes from the fact that we tend to think locally. For example, we don't just sell the neighborhood experience, we live it. Many of our sales counselors, managers and builders work and raise families in the areas where we build. Staying connected to the community helps us better understand our homebuyers so we can build the homes and offer the services you want.

Like you, we're in this for the long term. We don't believe in acquiring other homebuilders just to make ourselves look bigger. We'd rather grow with our communities, one home at a time. It's how we've become one of the country's largest and most trusted builders.

Building With You in Mind
One of the main things that makes a Ryland home so special is that it's built with you in mind. Long before we start to design our homes, we ask our customers what's important to them in a home and how they live in it. We're interested in learning things like where you spend the majority of your time, whether you prefer an upstairs or downstairs laundry room, and how much storage space you need. That way, when it's time to start construction on your new home, we're already building on a strong foundation.

Maximizing Your Time
We know that shopping for a new home, while exciting, can also be a bit daunting at times. That's why we go out of our way to make it easy by offering you personalized home buying services, from selecting the right loan with Ryland Mortgage to choosing your home finishes at a My Style Design Center. With Ryland's convenient family of services, you'll be moving into your new Ryland home, having saved valuable time, money and energy along the way.

One of the most important decisions you'll make in searching for a new home has nothing to do with bedrooms, bathrooms or location, it's choosing the right homebuilder.

Choosing the Right Homebuilder
More than anything else, your homebuilder will have the greatest impact on your overall satisfaction. And not just during the purchase and construction of your home, but for years to come long after you move in. These are some of the main areas to consider when selecting a homebuilder:
Experience
As is often the case, the longer you do something, the better you become at it. Like homebuilding. It's an involved and complex process requiring the talents and cooperation of scores of planners, workers and inspectors. A builder that's been around for decades, like Ryland Homes, has the experience needed to ensure that everything comes together in the right way so you can begin making a lifetime of memories in your new home.
Quality
How do you know if a builder truly delivers on its promise of quality? Like us, they should have long standing relationships with trusted suppliers and subcontractors that stand behind their work. Plus, they should use a higher grade of materials, and name-brand fixtures and appliances. Most importantly, they should offer a warranty to give each and every homebuyer years of confidence and protection. At Ryland Homes, we do all this and more so you can feel the quality that goes into your home the moment you step inside. Yet one of the biggest testaments to our quality is that fact that hundreds of Ryland employees, the people who build the homes, are also Ryland homeowners.

Design
A home has to look and feel just right. After all, if you're buying a new home, you should be able to get what you want. To make sure you do, we continually talk to homebuyers to find out what's important to them in their home. For some it's a home office, for others it's a three-car garage or crown moulding to add character to a room. These are the things that transform a house into a home that fits your lifestyle. And they're what set a Ryland home apart from all the rest.

Convenience
There's a lot to coordinate when you purchase a new home. You'll need to arrange for financing, homeowner's insurance, title and closing services and pick out your options and upgrades. That's why it's important to find a builder who can streamline and simplify the process. With our suite of home buying services, we can handle all of these details to make your experience with us easy and convenient.
