How a Contractor Plans to Build 500 Energy-Efficient Homes in 10 Years | Harold Packer

Right now we're trying to get that Packer Development going, and our mission at Packer Development is to build 500 homes in 10 years.

Mm-hmm.

And in those 10 years, we wanna get these homes certified through LEED, Energy Star, and Indoor airPLUS, and that would give us the Triple Crown home. And those homes are, like, the highest standard to building in America at this moment. If we could give those to our occupants, we feel that could uplift the community and everybody around it.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Real Estate Pros Podcast. I am your host, Q Edmonds, and I am excited about my guest today. Um, he's a builder, he's a contractor, he's a carpenter, he's a CEO, he's a owner, and so I'm super excited. I see his vision, and I believe it's something that's really gonna be sustainable and really gonna help people, and so I'm so excited that we get to peek through his journey, learn from his experience. I'd like to introduce you all to Mr. Hearl Packer. Mr. Hearl, how you doing today, sir?

How's it going?

Oh, man. Doing great, sir. Doing great. Glad you're here, man. Glad we get to do this episode together. So I would love for you to tell the people what's your main focus these days. If you don't mind, give us a little origin story, kinda how you got into the spots that you're in, and then tell 'em where you operate, man, which city, what state you operating out of, as people s- they love to know that, especially if you're close to them. So Mr. Hearl, you got the floor, my friend.

Oh, okay. Well, my origin story starts a little bit 14 years ago in Denver, Colorado when I started out in the construction industry. And through my 14 years I became a carpenter, and I also became a contractor. And after becoming a contractor, I realized I didn't wanna just be a contractor. I wanted to be a little bit more. I wanted to do something. So that's what led me to the energy efficiency. Through energy efficiency, I started working with LEED and U- the USGBC to become a LEED AP for homes. So that gives me the knowledge to be able to identify things and to spot things and build things to be sustainable. So that when it's to talk about sustainability, it's not just sustainability of the build, it's sustainability of the life of the product and s- the personalities of the people, the wellbeing of the occupants.

Yeah.
