Huntsville, Alabama – January 24, 2011

Jeff Benton Homes (JBH), an established builder of family-style homes based in Huntsville, Alabama, has selected Wendy Lee to serve as the company’s new president.

Ms. Lee earned her BA in Interior Design at the University of Alabama’s College of Human Environmental Sciences in Tuscaloosa. She got her start at JBH in 1998 when company founder Jeff Benton hired her to merchandise a model home. Ms. Lee most recently served as the company’s vice-president of sales and marketing.

“Wendy joined Jeff Benton Homes when I shared my office with our one employee in a trailer,” said Mr. Benton, “and she has been an integral part of our growth and success ever since. She thoroughly understands the homebuilding industry, is totally committed to our company philosophy of putting the customer first, and has earned the deep respect of every member of the Jeff Benton Homes team. Wendy has the vision and the broad leadership experience necessary to take this company to the next level.”

“The opportunity to serve as president of Jeff Benton Homes is both exciting and humbling,” said Ms. Lee. “The opportunities and challenges are great in every respect. For example, we saw 2010 as an opportunity for transition. In this past year we fine-tuned our brand, identified our core values, and assembled a management team comprised of the best available talent in the fields of sales and marketing, production, purchasing, estimating and land development. Meanwhile, we remained competitive and actually grew in 2010, despite the ongoing national and regional economic challenges.”

“We expect improving market conditions over the next two years to present many opportunities,” she continued. “Our challenge will be to position ourselves so as to maximize our returns in that better market. To do this we plan to improve the customer experience through communication and teamwork. This will lead in turn to more referral sales, repeat buyers and realtor-assisted sales.”

“This is an exciting time in this company’s history. I cannot imagine a more gratifying honor than to be selected Jeff Benton Homes’ new president.”
