In today’s housing market where rising prices and complex processes often push homeownership out of reach, especially in metropolitan areas, First America Homes is changing the narrative.
“We think homeownership is something very special,” President Dave Barnhart said. “Some of life’s most meaningful moments—first steps, holidays, graduations—happen in a home. We’re working to make that dream attainable for more families.”
With a mission-driven approach, First America Homes is not only simplifying the buying process but also creating real opportunities for families to achieve their dream sooner rather than later.
“Right now is the absolute best time to buy a home,” Barnhart said. “With prices where they are and the incredible mortgage incentives we’re offering—including buying down interest rates and covering closing costs—we’re making homeownership more affordable than ever.”
A one-stop shop for homeownership
For first-time buyers, purchasing a home can feel overwhelming. That’s why First America Homes acts as a one-stop shop, guiding customers through lifestyle needs, mortgage options, closing paperwork and the duties of owning a home.
“We want to understand what’s going on in someone’s life that’s leading them to look for a home,” Barnhart said. “Then we help them find a home that fits their lifestyle and walk with them through every step.”
By partnering with mortgage, title and insurance providers, the company simplifies the financial process.
“Buying a home can feel like a roller coaster,” Barnhart said. “We’re here to steady the ride and remind buyers it’s worth it.”
Affordability through advocacy and scale
Affordability remains a major barrier, but First America Homes tackles it on multiple fronts.
“We’re deeply involved in local politics to educate decision-makers about how small regulatory changes can have a big impact on home prices,” Barnhart said. “If we’re not at the table, well-intentioned decisions can unintentionally hurt affordability.”
The company also leverages its size to buy materials in bulk, keeping construction costs down without sacrificing quality.
Long-term support
First America Homes is committed to building not just affordable homes, but homes that perform well over time. Each home undergoes rigorous energy testing and receives a certified home energy rating, helping homeowners save on monthly energy costs while ensuring lasting comfort and efficiency.
But the company’s support doesn’t stop at closing. Homeowners receive ongoing maintenance tips, seasonal checklists and educational resources to help them understand how to care for their home—especially valuable for first-time buyers. The company also offers what Barnhart described as “one of the best warranties in the business,” providing peace of mind well beyond move-in day.
“We don’t view closing day as the end of our relationship; it’s just the beginning,” Barnhart said. “We want homeowners to feel confident and supported for years to come.”
Building for diverse buyers
First America Homes builds with a range of buyers in mind—young families, first-time buyers and empty nesters alike. Before construction begins, the team studies community demographics to match floor plans and features to local needs.
“Homes shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all,” Barnhart said. “We design around how people really live. In a diverse market like Houston, that means offering options for every kind of household, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful.”
Take the next step toward homeownership
For families ready to turn the dream of owning a home into reality, First America Homes offers a supportive and guided experience every step of the way.
