Joe Duffus and Steve Ormonde are two powerful forces in the homebuilding industry individually. Joe is the CEO of Builder’s Design and a visionary in the interior design industry. For over 30 years, he has been marketing model homes and commercial spaces, and is responsible for billions of dollars in new home sales over the course of 15,000 successful design projects. His progressive approach to selling homes faster, comes from his innate entrepreneurial spirit. Joe is an Aurora Committee Member, an Education Committee Chair of the Northern Virginia BIA, a member of the NAHB 55 Plus Committee, and has been an Official Judge for over 50 industry award functions.
Steve is the Founder and President of Focus 360, and Max Tipton Award for Marketing Excellence winner. His career in architecture started in 1983 as a Computer Aided Design (CAD) Coordinator after he received his Associate of Architecture Degree from Saddleback College. He developed the homebuilding industry’s first “Virtual Model Home.” Steve’s company, Ormonde Presentations, which was later changed to Focus 360 in 2000, grew into an internationally recognized firm, earning more than 100 published articles and several network television appearances.
They have seen the homebuilding industry evolve in many ways, and have always found or developed the tools to improve and adapt. On this episode, Kelly and Ryan dive into Steve and Joe’s amazing collaboration, Boundless, and discuss the impact virtual reality technology has had on the homebuilding industry.
