Dream Finders Homes Receives Top Growth Award for Second Year in a Row

On July 12, 2018, Jacksonville Business Journal announced Northeast Florida’s top fifty fastest growing, privately-owned companies. Local business professionals celebrated their success, and networked with representatives from fellow 2018 Fast 50 companies. The honorees were presented awards based on two different measures: revenue growth by percentage, and revenue growth by volume. Dream Finders Homes took home two titles. They were recognized as number twenty on the Fast 50 Top Companies for Growth by Percentage. In addition, Dream Finders Homes was also recognized as the number one fastest growing company in Northeast Florida for Growth by Volume. 2018 is the second consecutive year Dream Finders has received the number one ranking for Growth by Volume. Dream Finders Homes has also made the Fast 50 list for three consecutive years from 2011-2013, bringing the number of years Dream Finders has appeared on the Fast 50 List to a total of five.
