McBride & Son Cos. continues to thrive: 2009 sales reach 824 homes and counting
 The collection of McBride & Son, Vantage and Rockwood homes includes everything from $100,000 condominiums to $500,000 homes in 50 Metro-area communities. (Michael Marxer) “No matter what the economy is like, smart buyers recognize value, that's what we provide and that is a big part of our success,” said John F. Eilermann Jr., chief executive officer of McBride & Son Cos., which consists of McBride & Son Homes, Vantage Homes and Rockwood Homes. And as exceptional value, company stability and quality craftsmanship become an even higher priority for homeshoppers, more and more individuals are putting their trust in the local, employee-owned company. The proof is in the numbers - which continue to climb daily: In 2009 alone, McBride & Son Cos. has sold 824 homes - 216 of them during the month of May. This success has quickly made the company one of the most successful homebuilders nationwide. “It all started at our crown jewel - Bellemeade in St. Peters, where we sold 56 homes during the first month,” Eilermann said. “We also had huge success with our spring block party sales extravaganza.” The celebration was held last month at all 50 of the company’s Metro-area communities in Missouri and Illinois. “It was our big thank you to the community.” Eilermann expects the sales to keep rolling in, too. “McBride & Son Cos. is doing something right, and the fact that we’ve sold over 800 homes this year proves that, as well as shows that the market is starting to rebound,” he said. “We’re also hearing from local agents that our buyers are having an easier time selling their existing homes, so now is definitely the time to buy - especially when you consider our value prices, the low interest rates and the first-time homebuyer tax credit of $8,000. “Today’s prices won’t last long,” Eilermann said. “We’ve been around for 64 years and are looking forward to another 64 years.” The collection of McBride & Son, Vantage and Rockwood homes includes everything from $100,000 condominiums to $500,000 homes in 50 Metro-area communities. “There’s something for everyone,” said Eilermann.
