First America Homes, a division of major Texas real estate developer The Signorelli Co., has named home building veteran David Assid as division president for the Houston region. As the firm continues to build momentum in one of the most active housing markets in the state, Assid will oversee operations across its Houston communities.
Carrying nearly 40 years of experience, Assid will use his expertise to guide the Houston division in expanding its product offerings while strengthening the company’s presence in central communities and established submarkets.
“We’re excited to welcome David to First America Homes; I don’t think we could have found a more perfect leader for our ambitious plans for this dynamic market,” says John Winniford, president of First America Homes. “David brings an abundance of industry knowledge and experience in the Houston MSA. These intangibles will serve us well as we pursue enhancing brand awareness and increasing market share.”
Assid most recently served as Houston division president for Chesmar Homes. Before that, he spent 24 years with Toll Brothers where he progressed from project management roles in Dallas-Fort Worth to senior executive leadership in Houston, including division president.
“As a privately owned company, First America Homes is a business driven by strong values and a focus on what matters most—delivering quality products and helping buyers achieve their dream of homeownership,” says Assid. “I am excited to contribute to its growth and success.”
Currently building homes in communities across Texas’ major markets, including Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas-Fort Worth, First America Homes has built its reputation on a commitment to quality and service to home buyers. The home builder recently opened a Dallas-Fort Worth-area office and has acquired lot positions in the Austin area, supporting its continued expansion across the state.
With 30 active communities and 15 additional communities planned for the future, First America Homes has constructed more than 4,450 homes across Texas’ major markets.
