20th Annual Avid Awards Recognize Leading U.S. Builders for Outstanding Homebuyer Satisfaction

MADISON, Wis.--()--Avid Ratings is pleased to announce the recipients of the 20th Annual Avid Awards, honoring top-performing builders who provide outstanding customer experiences in the United States. Each year, these prestigious awards acknowledge homebuilders who achieve the highest scores in our homebuying customer experience surveys. The selection process evaluates results from major publicly traded NYSE/NASDAQ builders, North America's largest private builders, as well as numerous small-volume and custom builders across the continent. This year, 479 qualifying builders participated in the program, which analyzed homebuyer data from January to December 2022.

Aaron Everson, CEO of Avid Ratings, stated, "We are excited to celebrate our Avid Award winners this year and applaud their commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. In the face of 2022's unique challenges, including rapidly shifting market demands, these homebuilders have demonstrated an enduring dedication to meeting the needs of their buyers. Their adaptability and perseverance, coupled with their focus on service excellence, have earned them these well-deserved distinctions."

The Avid Awards serve as a reliable indicator of customer service quality in the homebuilding sector. Since 1992, Avid Ratings has played a pivotal role in increasing transparency regarding builder performance based on consumer feedback. To determine the Avid Award recipients, homebuilders are assessed using Avid's proprietary platform, AvidCX™. Every homebuyer survey in the database is examined to calculate each builder's overall rating. Avid's New Home Experience surveys gather comprehensive homebuyer feedback, offering unparalleled insights into overall satisfaction, likelihood of referral, actual recommendations, and strategic customer experience diagnostics for homebuilders.

To receive an Avid Award, each winning builder must achieve a score within or above the top 25th percentile across their U.S.-based counterparts.
