Local home builder Joel Farr receives manufacturer award
As he approaches the end of his first full year in business, Joel Farr - owner of Bay Twenty LLC, has seen great success and was recently recognized as one of Ritz-Craft Corporation’s top independent builders.
Founded July 2012, Bay Twenty has built nine modular homes in its first year of business, an impressive number within the modular home industry. These nine homes have been built in a subdivision owned by Bay Twenty known as Fox Haven Beach Country Homes.
The land for the Fox Haven subdivision was acquired approximately 10 years ago. The Bay Twenty team spent the next nine years planning and obtaining the necessary approval for the subdivision, which contains 76 home/lot packages. All of the homes built for the Fox haven subdivision include nine-foot ceilings and for a limited time, Bay Twenty is covering the cost of each home buyer’s construction loan, making it more affordable for their customers to build their dream home.
In recognition of the success of Bay Twenty, Farr has been appointed to the Ritz-Craft President’s Advisory Council. This council is in communication with Ritz-Craft’s Corporate Headquarters on a yearly basis to provide feedback and brainstorm new ideas and programs. This is a sought after honor within Ritz-Craft and is only awarded to the elite of Ritz-Craft’s builder network. Farr recently received a plaque from Eric John, Ritz-Craft co-owner and vice-president, recognizing Bay Twenty as a member of the council.
“Everyone at Bay Twenty considers it a great honor to be chosen for this Advisory Council,” said Farr. He goes on to credit Ritz-Craft’s forward thinking as a factor in his success: “Before we began construction we visited and researched as many as ten modular home companies in the northeast. Ritz-Craft was the only company to meet all of our needs in regards to product, innovation and software marketing.”
Located in Frankford, Bay Twenty and Fox Haven Beach Country Homes are now being marketed by Virgil Bullis, Sr. and his sales team at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Co. For more information, contact Bay Twenty at 302-841-217 or go to www.foxhavenwestfenwick.com.
