In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey Chupp sits down with Les Miller, owner of 89 Homes, to talk about building a business, leading a family company, and navigating growth in the homebuilding industry.
Les shares his journey from working in construction to launching his own business during the 2008 housing market downturn before eventually taking ownership of 89 Homes. Along the way, he reflects on the challenges of scaling a company, building the right team, and creating a customer experience centered on transparency and trust.
The conversation also explores working alongside family, handing off responsibility as a business grows, and where Les believes the future of homebuilding is headed from smaller, maintenance-free homes to smarter technology and evolving buyer expectations.
