Building More Than a Home. Building a Legacy.

Creating a truly custom home requires more than exceptional craftsmanship. It requires vision, experience, trust, and a team dedicated to bringing each homeowner’s unique lifestyle and dreams to life. Those qualities define AR Homes® Charlotte (Paragon Homes of Charlotte) and its Build Company President, Mitch Genda.

With decades of experience in the homebuilding industry, Mitch’s career spans both boutique custom builders and large regional building organizations. This diverse background has shaped his understanding of what today’s luxury homeowners value most: personalized service, exceptional design, transparent communication, and an unwavering commitment to quality from start to finish.

In 2010, Mitch founded Paragon Homes of Charlotte with a vision of building a custom home company centered on relationships, craftsmanship, and an outstanding client experience. He partnered with AR Homes®, one of the nation’s most respected luxury custom home brands, to bring its award-winning designs, proven building process, and exceptional standards to the Charlotte region.

Today, AR Homes® Charlotte (Paragon Homes of Charlotte) offers homeowners the best of both worlds: the personalized attention, accountability, and local expertise of an independently owned builder paired with the design excellence, innovation, purchasing power, and national resources of a premier luxury custom home brand.

Known for his collaborative leadership style, Mitch brings together talented architects, designers, trade partners, and construction professionals to create homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. His attention to detail, calm confidence, and commitment to customer satisfaction have earned the trust of homeowners throughout Mecklenburg, Union, Gaston, Lancaster, and York counties.

Under Mitch’s leadership, AR Homes® Charlotte has earned numerous industry honors, including the prestigious AR Homes® Chairman’s Award, Best Model Awards, Best Floor Plan Design, Best Interior Design, and the 2025 AvidCX Diamond Award, recognizing the highest customer experience ratings nationwide during the first 90 days of homeownership.

While these awards reflect the team’s commitment to excellence, the greatest measure of success is the lasting relationships built with homeowners and the custom homes that become the setting for generations of memories.

At AR Homes® Charlotte (Paragon Homes of Charlotte), we’re not simply building luxury custom homes—we’re creating spaces where families can live, gather, and celebrate life’s most meaningful moments for years to come.
