I’d like to introduce myself and tell you a little about my company, Homes Now LLC.  I’m Homes Now President, Fred Rummel.  My passion in life (besides my wonderful wife Signe) is construction. 

I spent the first years of my career serving our fine country as in Navy Operations.  For the past 18 years, I have been a building contractor in Tucson, Arizona, specializing in building and renovating homes. 

In the spring of 2006 I visited one of my favorite cities, New Orleans.  My heart went out to the thousands of people who had been left homeless.  I wanted to do something to help these folks, but knew that there weren’t enough workers or materials in southern Louisiana to replace the thousands of destroyed homes in a short time and at an affordable cost. 

Recently, I spent several months on special assignment in Iraq supervising the installation of over 100 off-site built housing units for our troops.   I had also worked on several projects in Tucson installing high end off-site built homes.  From those projects I knew that, using a quality off-site home builder and a small construction crew, I could give folks well constructed, affordable homes that looked just like site-built homes, in a short time frame.  I decided to form Homes Now to do just that.

To help me get things started I asked my partners from the Tucson project, Meredith Fisher and Melvin Gitler if they would join me at Homes Now.  They said they’d love to get involved and suggested we call Genesis Homes, Inc., a company we had a great experience with in Tucson.  We were delighted to learn Genesis had just begun selling a series of homes specifically designed for the unique architectural style and storm conditions of southern Louisiana and would be happy to have us sell and finish those homes for them.

So now here I am in New Orleans, ready to get you on “the road home” to a beautiful new house that you and your family can enjoy for many years to come.  If you need a well built, attractive residence at a price you can afford and don’t want to wait months or even years to move in, please give us a call.  We'll be glad to help you select the perfect home and customize it to fit your family’s needs and tastes. 

Hope to hear from you soon,
