Expertise: Home Builder, Electrical Contractor, Entrepreneur

Jim Geiger, the owner and manager of Legacy Builders, has been an entrepreneur and a builder for most of his life. He has built several companies in the home construction industry, the first of which was an electrical contracting business which eventually consisted of fifteen full-time employees, a fleet of six trucks, and contracts with over 20 different builders. Over the course of the company's 26+ years, Jim and his crews wired projects ranging in size from medium and large family-sized homes to mansions and compounds of 10,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. A "hands-on" type of boss, Jim worked side-by-side with his employees, acting as a mentor and teaching them his trade.

During the 80's and 90's, Jim and his brother, Thomas Geiger, built more than 35 spec homes on lots that they owned. The majority of these homes were under contract to buyers before they were even finished, a testiment to the brother's dedication to quality workmanship and forward-thinking designs. When the economy got soft, Jim and Thomas switched their strategy, turning distressed and/or auctioned properties into desireable homes that sold quickly.

Jim formed Legacy Builders shortly after his brother Thomas passed away in May, 2011, carrying on the brother's dream of a new business venture together. In addition to building and remodeling homes, Legacy Builders currently owns and manages three rental properties, and plans to acquire several more in the next year.
