We just had a check-in call with Ryan from Everglades Development Group in South Florida.
Ryan has been a custom home builder for years and, by his own words, said
“I don’t want to just wait and see who comes in the door. I want to choose my customers.”
That is exactly why he wanted to move into the barndominium and metal building space.
After launching his campaign, here’s what happened in roughly the first 10 days:
✅ 75–80 leads generated
✅ High-end barndominium buyers in his backyard
✅ Leads coming in while we were literally on the call
✅ One prospect in Naples wants 7 barndominiums
✅ Estimated value: $800k–$1.2M each
✅ The prospect specifically asked for something like what he saw in the ad
Ryan said, “Everything’s as advertised. We’re getting quite a few leads.”
And my favorite line:
“It’s somewhat like drinking from a fire hose right now.”
Ryan already had the experience.
He already had the licensing.
He already had the ability to build.
What he needed was predictable opportunity.
Now he’s using this momentum to shift from traditional custom homes into barndominiums, red iron buildings, and turnkey metal building projects.
This is exactly what we’re seeing across the country:
The metal building and barndominium market is moving fast.
The contractors who already know how to manage site work, slabs, erection, interiors, and full project coordination are in a powerful position — but only if buyers actually know they exist.
Massive shoutout to and the Everglades Development Group team!
