2007 Market Focus: Atlanta

Avid Ratings sent surveys to all 65,000 Atlanta-area home buyers who closed on their homes in 2006. Roughly 10 percent of the entire market responded to the survey, providing feedback on 31 production home builders.

Though there are several finalists, there is only one winner. This year, the Avid Award for the Atlanta market goes to John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods. Profiles of this outstanding builder and the three finalists appear on the following pages. The table below shows how each of these customer-centric home builders excels in comparison to the rest of the Atlanta market.
