Celebrate Fayetteville: Exploring the Greater Fayetteville Region

H&H is currently building in over fifty
subdivisions and has expanded into markets
beyond the Fayetteville area, including
Jacksonville, Goldsboro, Wilmington, Raleigh
and Myrtle Beach. According to CEO Jack
Rostetter, H&H is one of the few companies
who have come out of this most recent Great
Recession stronger than they went in because
the company focused unilaterally on positioning
itself to grow in business in the coming
months and years. This focus on business will
allow it to expand into other cities in North
Carolina, as well as grow H&H Homes’ existing
markets in Raleigh, Wilmington, Myrtle Beach
and possibly as far away as Atlanta.
All that growth would not be possible
without the outstanding marketing skills of
the agents of Coldwell Banker Advantage
(CBA.) Ralph co-owns CBA with Suzanne
Pennink. Before starting H&H Homes, Ralph
was the owner of the local Coldwell Banker
franchise and in 2000, he partnered with
Suzanne, whose lifetime of real estate
experience has helped build the franchise to
the number one franchise it is today.
According to Suzanne, what makes them
a great team is that Ralph brings to the partnership
vision and strategic planning, while
Suzanne is focused on the day-to-day operations
that are necessary to run the business.
Ralph and Suzanne have also partnered
with other locations across North Carolina
and now have offices from the Virginia border
to Raleigh to Wilmington. Currently, they
have over 700 agents and are the fourth
largest Coldwell Banker in the country
with $2 billion in sales and $50 million in
commissioned income in 2013.
Suzanne said the relationship between
H&H and CBA “is a great strategic partnership
that allows H&H to take advantage of
the expertise of the CBA agents, who are
especially skilled in selling new homes, as
they represent a number of builders locally.
What makes CBA great is the wonderful and
talented people who work there from the
management team to the agents to the
administrative staff. Because the team works
so well together, CBA has been able to recruit
some of the best agents who share the
commitment to putting the buyer first.”
Like H&H, CBA also shares a strong
belief in giving back and has contributed
both money and man hours to improving
the community. “It is a strong value of
both H&H and Coldwell to give back to
the community,” Suzanne said. “This value
separates us from our competition and
puts us in a very good light.”
“Homebuyers throughout the region
should know that no matter where they are
looking to buy, if they choose a Coldwell
Banker Agent and/or an H&H Home, they
will be taken care of,” ensured Ralph.
