Camelot Homes, a Scottsdale-based luxury home builder, has been honored with the prestigious title of 2024 Builder of the Year by Pro Builder Media, a leading publication in the U.S. housing industry. The award recognizes Camelot’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovative approach to luxury homebuilding, and its impact on the industry.
Each year, Pro Builder selects one outstanding builder to receive the Builder of the Year award after an extensive review process that includes research, interviews, and insights from industry sources. Camelot Homes was first considered for the accolade after receiving the esteemed NHQ Gold Award, a recognition for quality.
Upon further investigation, Pro Builder discovered the depth of Camelot’s multi-generational legacy, strong leadership, and reputation for delivering exceptional homes in a diversified, well-run operation.
Camelot Homes’ 55-year journey is a story of continuous improvement, strategic diversification, and a unique approach to succession planning. Founded in 1969 by J.W. and Maggi Hancock, the company revolutionized the Phoenix Valley’s homebuilding market with high-quality, regionally sensitive designs, a customer-centric approach, and a strong focus on employee and partner relationships.
As Camelot evolved, it built a luxury production brand under the leadership of their son Mark and his wife, Julie, and is now set to pass on to the next generation with their children Cammie, Trent, and Chase.
Earlier this year, Pro Builder conducted a detailed visit to Camelot’s Scottsdale headquarters, where its team toured the office, sales and design centers, job sites, and communities. They were impressed by Camelot’s sophisticated operations, commitment to quality, and the company culture that drives its success.
“It would be easy to view Camelot Homes simply as a successful luxury builder,” Editorial Director Rich Binsacca said. “However, their sophisticated operations, willingness to take risks, and dedication to people and customers distinguish them in the industry. Their focus on mission and values is truly inspiring.”
“To be named Builder of the Year is a true honor and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” Julie Hancock, Managing Partner and Co-owner of Camelot Homes, said. “This award, alongside the NHQ Gold Award we received earlier this year, reflects our commitment to building excellence.”
With three generations of the Hancock family at the helm, Camelot Homes has earned a reputation for designing homes that blend timeless elegance with modern functionality, creating spaces that are as distinctive as their owners. The company remains committed to delivering homes that exceed industry standards and the expectations of even the most discerning buyers.
