Houston, TX (April 13, 2010)... McGuyer Homebuilders, Inc. (MHI) through its signature brands Pioneer Homes, Plantation Homes, Coventry Homes and Carmel Builders reported a strong first quarter in new home sales amid a sluggish national housing industry.

"We are very pleased by the performance we've seen in all five of our Texas markets with sales far exceeding our projections," said Gary Tesch, President of MHI, a privately held Texas builder.

Established in 1988, MHI is a Houston based company with over 37,000 homeowners. The builder was recently ranked as the #1 Largest Houston area Homebuilder by the Houston Business Journal. Ranked by local gross revenue, the builder tops the list of who’s who in new home construction.

Tesch said MHI’s diverse product offering of traditional homes, urban townhome designs and luxury high end homes along with enticing incentives has been key to attracting buyers. The builder touts a 98% customer recommendation rating highlighting their dedication to the customer experience.

Recognized as a leader in the industry, MHI introduced its Eco Smart program in 2007 in the DFW Metroplex. The environment-friendly green homes quickly evolved as offerings in the Austin, San Antonio, and Houston markets. MHI was the first volume builder in the Metroplex to create a resource efficient home that provides homeowners the benefit of long term savings, protection from rising energy costs, increased resale value and improved home comfort.

This year, MHI selected Susan G. Komen for the Cure® as its charitable partner. This is the first partnership of its kind between a large Houston builder and the Houston Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

MHI's newly launched marketing Built for the Cure campaign which includes promotions corporately and in all four brands in Houston, is intended to heighten awareness of the efforts of the organization known for bringing worldwide attention to breast cancer; and to let buyers of Plantation Homes, Pioneer Homes, Coventry Homes and Carmel Builders in Houston know that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their home will be donated to the Houston Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

MHI is one of the top homebuilding firms in the nation and has been ranked in the top 30 by Builder magazine.
