At AR Homes®, delivering exceptional custom home-buying experiences begins with the dedication and talent of the people behind every home. Each year, we celebrate the professionals who go above and beyond to make dream homes a reality through our Top Club and Master Builder Club awards program.
The Top Club honors the top 20% of sales consultants within the AR Homes® network, selected based on criteria such as the number of sales and total dollar volume. Similarly, the Master Builder Club recognizes the top 20% of construction managers, evaluated on metrics including customer survey scores, dollar volume, unit volume of closed homes, and square feet of home built per day. These exceptional professionals demonstrate the outstanding service, attention to detail, and dedication that define the AR Homes® custom home experience.
This year’s honorees will be celebrated in Louisville, Kentucky, at the 2025 Builder Summit, an exclusive event where they will refine their skillsets, collaborate with award-winning peers, and celebrate their accomplishments. Their work continues to raise the bar for custom homebuilding, ensuring that every AR Homes® residence reflects the quality, craftsmanship, and personalization that our brand is known for.
