What makes Victor Myers with Victor Myers Custom Homes a good neighbor?

Victor Myers Custom Homes represents a refreshing approach to home building in an industry often plagued by misconceptions. As revealed in our recent podcast interview, Victor's journey from framer to successful custom home builder spans more than three decades, demonstrating remarkable resilience and adaptability in a challenging industry.

Victor's entry into custom home building came from genuine passion rather than convenience. After earning a business economics degree and spending a miserable year in corporate America, he realized cubicle life wasn't for him. Drawing on his experience as a framer during his college years, combined with his fascination with beautiful custom homes, Victor made the bold decision to pursue custom home building in the early 1990s. This authentic origin story stands in stark contrast to the negative stereotypes sometimes associated with builders, which Victor acknowledges as one of the industry's biggest misconceptions. While stories of unscrupulous contractors do exist, Victor emphasizes that many dedicated professionals like himself bring integrity and craftsmanship to their work every day.

What makes Victor Myers Custom Homes particularly interesting is their adaptability to changing market conditions and customer needs. The company specializes in building on clients' lots throughout southern Denton County, Frisco, and the Flower Mound area, focusing on customers who haven't found what they want in existing homes or from production builders. Their primary client base has evolved over the last decade to focus on empty nesters—typically retired or near-retirement individuals seeking one-story homes that still offer space for visiting grandchildren. This strategic shift toward empty nesters actually emerged during the Great Recession of 2009, representing a pivotal moment in the company's history that showcases their business acumen and resilience.

When the economic downturn hit and the stock market plummeted in 2009, Victor faced a critical juncture. Having just invested in a 5,500-square-foot model home during the worst possible economic climate, with builders and banks failing around him, Victor needed to pivot quickly. His solution was ingenious: he approached previous customers who had purchased large family homes from him years earlier and offered them modern, energy-efficient one-story homes of around 3,500 square feet. This value proposition resonated strongly with empty nesters looking to downsize without sacrificing quality, effectively creating a sustainable business model during extremely challenging economic circumstances. This strategic shift has defined their business for the past fifteen years.

What truly distinguishes Victor Myers Custom Homes, however, is their focus on creating exceptional experiences rather than simply constructing houses. As Victor emphatically stated in the interview, "We don't just build homes, we work hard to build a great experience." This philosophy has created such positive client relationships that many customers return for second projects. In an industry where the construction process can be notoriously stressful, Victor's emphasis on making the journey enjoyable represents a significant competitive advantage and explains the company's longevity and success through various economic cycles.
