A homebuilder that’s opening its first Dallas-area neighborhoods isn’t looking to rack up thousands of sales. But with its homes selling for more than twice the average cost of a North Texas new house, GFO Home doesn’t have to peddle as many properties to meet its hoped-for revenue. “I’ll be happy if I have a 1% market share,” said Glenn Gehan, who wants to sell $200 million in houses this year in the hot Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth home markets.

The name Gehan is a very familiar one in Dallas. Glenn Gehan co-founded Gehan Homes, now the ninth-largest private homebuilder in the United States, with his father and brothers in 1991. In 2018 Gehan launched GFO Home in Austin and has now expanded the company into Dallas, where they are already seeing massive demand and success.
