Regency Homebuilders

What Regency Homebuilders does

Regency Homebuilders is a privately held, family-controlled residential homebuilder founded in 2007 by Sean Carlson and Jere Bowden and headquartered in Germantown, Tennessee. The company designs, constructs, and sells new homes across the Greater Memphis / Mid-South market, operating 24 communities across 11 geographic areas and offering 117 floor plans ranging from 1,450 to 3,500+ square feet with 2-7 bedrooms, at price points from approximately $190,000 to over $500,000. After 13+ years of operation, Regency describes itself as the largest homebuilder in the Mid-South area.

The core product offering consists of two delivery models: presale (custom-built to buyer specifications through a Design Studio personalization experience) and ready-now / market homes (pre-built inventory with company-selected finishes). Supporting services include a wholly-owned in-house brokerage called Regency Realty, an in-house warranty team providing a 1-year limited warranty, a Design Studio consultation service, model home tours, and 3D virtual tours. Revenue is generated through one-time transactions at home closing. GTM is sales-led via Regency Realty agents, model home visits, virtual tours, social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), a content blog, and community events.

The company is owner-operated with no disclosed external venture or private-equity investment. Several Carlson family members occupy operational roles (CFO Gery Carlson, Designer Cindy Carlson, Plans team member Kaylee Carlson), reflecting a tightly-held founder-and-family ownership structure. Preferred-lender partnerships with four mortgage providers plus an embedded credit-improvement partner form the financing ecosystem around each transaction. The business has been recognized as a Top Workplace among small employers in the Memphis area for three consecutive years (2018-2020).
