They purchase large tracts of highly desirable land with homeowners in mind.

Jay Patterson is the president of Southerland Communities and graduated from Texas A&M University in 1989. They have master planned acreage communities in San Antonio, Bandera, Austin, New Braunfels, and Dallas.
It is a sincere pleasure to work with Jay and Charlie and people often ask, what is their secret to success? One of their secrets to success is they allow buyers to buy now and build later while
maintaining the natural environment of each tract of land they develop. They also treat buyers, builders, and the community like family.
There are ten dynamic Builders who have homes on the tour this year, you can learn more about them in this issue of the Builder Brief. We will host our member only Preview Party on Friday evening, May 21st starting at 6pm. I want to personally invite you to attend this event.
